Viva Parks Neighborhoods: Summer 2023

ALL SUMMER LONG! Messy Play Kits will be in San Jose for the Viva Parks Neighborhood events providing fun and FREE activities for the community!!!

What is Viva Parks?

It's a series of free events hosted by San Jose Parks, Recreation & Neighborhood services. The events focus on health, wellness, physical activity, and community engagement.

We at Messy Play Kits love participating in the event each year to bring fun and free sensory and messy play experiences, projects, and products to our local friends and neighbors.

Messy Play Kits is just one of the many vendors at these events! There are other activities like rock climbing, juggling, bounce houses, food trucks, face painting and more. Stop by our tent at one of the events and play with us! Each week the activity is different, so you're always in for a sensory play surprise!
