Guadalupe River Park, Children's Discovery Museum and Discovery Meadow - San Jose, CA

Guadalupe River Park is a three-mile ribbon of park land that runs along the banks of the Guadalupe River in the heart of downtown San Jose from Highway 880 at the north, to Highway 280 at the south. It is a resource of regional importance to the people of Santa Clara County and the Bay Area. It is composed of many different areas.

Discovery Meadow is at the southern end of the park, adjacent to the Children's Discovery Museum. It features a large expanse of lawn and is used extensively for festivals during the summer months and also the largest outdoor Monopoly board. The Riverwalk trails along Discovery Meadow follow the river closely and are lined with comfortable park benches.

Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose (CDM) is located on Woz Way in downtown San Jose, California. Woz Way is named after Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, whose nickname is "Woz," and who was the single largest private donor during the original capital campaign that funded the museum. The museum builds and displays interactive exhibits that they believe respond to children's diverse educational needs. The museum is 52,000-square-feet.
