Build Together, Play Together. 2025 Community Impact Report Director’s Letter Where Community Takes Shape A parks and recreation system offers something different for everyone—a quiet place to reflect, a place for kids to play, a hub for neighbors to gather, or simply a safe spot to cool off on a hot day. The vision for our department is clear: healthy communities that inspire belonging. This year, we embraced the National Recreation and Park Association’s theme, “Build Together, Play Together.” That spirit is alive across our department. We’ve seen how shared public spaces bring people together and how strong partnerships can build something greater than any one group alone. Through our ActivateSJ Plan, we continue to be guided by five principles: stewardship, nature, equity and access, identity, and public life. By following these guiding principles in every decision, we strive to meet the diverse needs of the San José community. Guiding principles shape every decision Expanded access to parks, programs, and support across San José Your input shapes tomorrow’s parks & recreation Even amid resource constraints, our staff continue to innovate and serve.

This misrepresenation of the reality has been highlighted to PRNS leadership twice already and most recently when they showed this to the PRC on 12/3. PRNS...
