Evergreen Village Square

This place is very peaceful and beautiful. I usually come here to practice djing deep/​progressive house because it’s a calm place to get away. It’s great how the city organizes events to bring the community together. Life can be hard sometimes and tiring, but it’s awesome scenic places like this that make it worthwhile!

Here’s the hub for all things Evergreen.
Over the years I’ve seen this center evolve during my excruciating jog-​bys. Tai Chi in the morning, family time in the afternoon and teen hangs at night. I’ve witnessed it all. Now they’re holding movie nights, Farmers’ Markets and food truck events on weekends. Whuh? When did they bring the party to my neck of the woods, and how have I been missing out on all the fun these recent years?
It makes me proud to see it all in full bloom during the outdoor seasons though. Sure, this hasn’t been the prime spot to hold private business. I’ve seen many-​a-​occupants toot it and boot it: Quiznos (what happened to his chain?), that one creamery that served everything but ice cream, and of course Lunardi’s (R.i.P.). It seems like only Chase, Walgreens and Evergreen Coffee Co. had the only real staying power since it opened. Sad. BUT the neighborhood turnout is always great and they give enough of their time and occupancy for the city to develop even more real estate both residential and business-​ish in the area (See: Citi Café, Walmart, the new townhouses that look like firehouses).
Nice place to take your young’uns and pups for a stroll then cheat and eat at the ice cream place that serves burritos and bulgogi or whatever. Idek anymore…

just moved to the area and we found an Oasis of throw back America, town squares… whoever built this hit a homerun!

I got a random Facebook invite to go tho this great plaza for a free concert and free family friendly movie night. Nothing to lose and the possibility of seeing a new unknown area of San Jose. The experience was great, very nice sunsets from this point and well taken care of trees, grass, fountain and nice stores and restaurants around. I did not have the opportunity to take a look at the stores, but I think they have done a good job in trying to make this area very cozy and ‘village like’ and it was very nice to see all the people with blankets over the grass listening to the music and in happy mood, zero conflict there. Very mellow. A nice area to live, I would say.

Evergreen Village Square is a fun place to hangout in the mornings during a weekend. They recently started having Off the Grid food trucks on Saturdays from 11 – 3 and have the Farmers Market on Sundays. It’s a nice family environment and for the food trucks, I’d recommend bringing folding chairs and picnic blankets!

I always pass by this place when I go to the park. Rode my bike here before with some friends. I love the cool water fountain in the center of the plaza.
I feel rich when I pass by this area [:
