History
The park was built and dedicated in 2013, on the site of Sony's former Silicon Valley manufacturing facility.
The land where River Oaks Park and much of its surroundings sit today was once part of the River Oaks Ranch, owned by the Okuba family, a well-established Japanese-American family of San Jose. During World War II, the Okuba family were sent to internment camps, but eventually returned to reclaim their land after the war.
