Monopoly In the Park is situated within the Discovery Meadow and is a unique outdoor attraction. It consists of a giant monopoly board of the dimensions of 930 square feet (86.40 square meters), where adults as well as children can enjoy the classic game with slight modifications. With the huge dice and board, the whole game takes a new turn, full of fresh excitement. Those who are not interested in playing can lounge on the grass and watch the players while they continue a long and often never-ending monopoly session. This attraction also has packages for schools, families and corporates; a game of monopoly in the outdoors might just be a great team building exercise.

We enjoyed this Monopoly in the Park, with a board that each player can walk around, and huge dice. This sits near Children's Discovery Museum in an open meadow. We had a blast running around the game with no community chest or chance cards. This sits near public transportation and accessible parking near museum.
MoreIf you like to play Monopoly this is a fun place to go to take some photos. We like seeing the different pieces. Its usually quiet in this area to go see.
MoreIt’s an amazing idea & a great way to promote family time or let the community gather and have some fun. There are no playing pieces (I’m sure because of theft) so if you want to play bring your own. There is NO PARKING nearby if you want to stop and just take a few photos. The meters in the area won’t even give you an option of 30 min for a few dollars. Instead you get raked $20! There are a few other statues for kids in the park but that’s it. The board is in desperate need of some attention.
MoreWe went to see again Monopoly in the Park. Its cute to see and take photos of. It is in the downtown area of San Jose.
MoreDate of Visit: Saturday, Dec 14th, 2019 Because we came to San Jose - we knew we had to look for the Monopoly in the Park attraction. We had seen it many times on other people's Instagrams and thought it might be a good roadside attraction worth visiting. It is incredibly hard to get to if you are just driving through San Jose. There is a major roadway with no parking to stop at and just grab a quick photo. We had to pull into the drop off section at the children's museum nearby and run over to the park while someone stayed in the car. It is a recreation of a giant Monopoly board in the centre of a children's playground. However, I assumed there would be tokens, etc but there were not. There are other figures in the park but they have nothing to do with the monopoly board. As a roadside attraction, it is a bit of a bust. It was too difficult to access, too far away from the nearest parking spot, and not really all that fun for photos. My recommendation is - DO NOT go looking specifically for this roadside attraction. If you are nearby - check it out. As much as Roguetrippers love oversized things, and quirky attractions, This one was a bit of a letdown.
