The amphitheater offers prime seating for events like the Fourth of July fireworks and the Water Lantern Festival; the sparkling fireworks and the glowing paper lanterns create reflections on the lake at night. The park’s seasonal concession stand offers snacks and drinks. Families can also play mini golf at Golfland San Jose or go to the outdoor pool at South Valley Family YMCA.
