I always drove by this park and thought it was not suitable for my kids since growing up around…read morethis area it was a little shady since a lot of folks back in the days would hit up 7-11 and come over here Well this weekend while visiting San Mateo instead of opting for the Fiesta Gardens park we decided to go here. I was pleasantly surprised. Parking in the residential area vs coming coming from the busy street there is limited reserved parking. When we arrived there was no body there but soon more families came. I felt safe and the foot traffic through the park was folks going on across the street to the shopping area or resident living near by coming in. The play structure was cool. There is an older kid section and more of a young kid area with swings and a mini house. There is a grass area for kids to play around and picnic tables. The park itself was clean and well kept. I truly was surprised by it. The kids called it the Ronald McDonald park since the park is red and yellow color. This is a nice park to come. For smaller baby infants may not be suitable but more for pre-k and above. The park gets a lot of sun and there are trees to keep cool in the shade with benches there to relax. It was a nice find to entertain the kids.

I'm a mother of a toddler. Nice park, but not fantastic…read more Clean structures, grass, and tables. The sand was pretty clean, but had some bits of trash and plant debris. The tanbark seems old. Other parents and kids were nice, but there were a few people just using the park as a walk through. There are two play structures. The smaller one is not great for little ones and the bigger one is scary big. The park is right along a busy street and has a good gate system blocking access. Unfortunately, on the other side near the houses, the fencing has two open paths. No restroom.

Very nice park next to the Bay Trail…read more The parking lot is pretty small, Seal Point Park, which is right next door, has a huge parking lot. There was a play area here, along with a good sized picnic/BBQ area that's covered. The restrooms were really clean, which is a great sign for a park. I come to this area to run sometimes, and it's a great place to be on a sunny day!!!

Very competitive and not many tennis courts anymore. The ball machine is good. The free pickleball paddles for drop-in are not as good as the Bay Club Gateway ones. Parking can be hard even though there's a large lot. Bathrooms and locker rooms are nice and clean. I wish there were more workout classes and social events (though there are a lot of pickleball tournaments.)

Village Park is one of our favorite parks. It has a large, open, flat layout that's perfect for…read morefamilies with children of all ages. The toddler play structure is excellent, and I especially love that there is a separate fenced area for the youngest children, which helps keep them safe and prevents them from wandering off. The turf surface is well maintained and makes the playground feel clean and inviting. The surrounding neighborhood is beautiful, peaceful, and feels very safe. There's a large grassy area that's perfect for picnics, birthday parties, or simply relaxing. My older kids also love using the open cement area to play volleyball, basketball, and other games. What I appreciate most is that the park offers something for everyone, from toddlers to older kids, while creating a safe and welcoming environment for families. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, family friendly park with plenty of space to play and enjoy the outdoors.

I recently held my son's birthday party here and I really appreciated the great service from Iradya…read more(not sure if I spelled her name right) and Casey. Looking back, the only thing I would change is if they could organize the basketball game a bit more, like break up to 2 games so it's 5 on 5 instead of like 20 kids on the court at once. The food was good, given it's supposed to be mainly for kids birthday parties (pizza, wings, nachos, fries etc). From a party planning perspective I really enjoyed how easy it was to plan. I just had to show up and they did most of the legwork. I do wish they had more seating or space for the parents/family. The table only accommodates the kids, and given how much you are spending for a 90minute slot, it would be better to have more table space for the parents to eat too. Other than that, the experience was great and all the kids in my party played really hard and had a great time!

It's cool that there's a park inside of a…read moredowntown since people may want to come here to relax and view some nature after a long walk in downtown, eating at restaurants, shopping, and doing other activities. They have areas like tennis fields, I think a baseball field, and especially gardens. It's quite rare to find a park that has gardens or maybe I don't often come to parks that do have them. I also like how nice the park is and how organized it looks. I also see that they're doing some construction including a children's playground which just started to be constructed over a year ago. Hopefully, there are going to be some improvements the next time I visit.
