Edenvale Gardens Regional Park (originally Edenvale Garden Park) is a city park in San Jose, California, occupying 19.5 acres (7.9 ha) in the Edenvale neighborhood. The site originally was developed by Rudolph Ulrich as the 40-acre (16 ha) formal park adjoining Hayes Mansion starting from approximately 1887. In 1954, the mansion and property was sold; the site next was used for the Frontier Village amusement park between 1961 and 1980, and when that park closed, approximately half the land was redeveloped into housing, with the rest preserved as the present-day city park after San Jose purchased the remaining land in 1987.
