The entrance is down a side alley off of Old County Road so it can be easy to miss. However, once you pull in, there is plenty of parking. There is a big grassy area to run around in and then a playground, separated for little and big kids, but with a connecting gate. Not a huge play structure but good enough for the little ones to burn off some energy. There is also a bathroom located onsite and for a public bathroom, it was pleasantly very well maintained and very clean.

Burning some time with the kids while my wife was finishing up work, cool neighborhood park that…read morewasn't crowded and had a large play area, baseball field, basketball court, and well maintained flat field for children and pet activities. The play area has rubberized floor for safety, tents above the structures for some shade from the harsh cali summer sun, and very light touches of a log-cabin/ wood theme. For younger kids the most dangerous and sometimes fun areas are: -The larger slide, getting to the top is a bit sketchy with a small ladder you have to climb off of to the right instead of straight. The slide itself is almost hilariously tall with lots of bumps and tight curves that seem like they are designed to injure your kid, just look at the pictures. -Wave machine, if your kid is into space and nasa you can get them an early start by jumping on one end of this and launching them into orbit.

Nice park! Great for scooters! Nice for kids to ride around park and play on playground.read more

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!!!

This is a cute little park that is tucked away inside a neighborhood. I liked that the entire park…read morewas fenced.  Playground: There are multiple structures with one geared toward older kids, and a couple small structures geared toward toddler and babies. Overall though I would say the playground is best for toddler and younger kids and would probably be boring for an older child. My daughter was a fan of the see-saw Currently, they have every other swing removed for covid measures.  There are ample amounts of picnic tables and benches Bathrooms are open, and there is also an extra hand-washing station at the entrance of the park.  Pets are allowed on leash.

Such a great park especially for young kids! The park is part of a cute neighborhood in Redwood…read moreCity. The entire park is fenced and includes a big grassy field, lots of picnic tables (you can reserve them for fun birthday parties!), a clean-ish bathroom, and lots of playground spaces. There's a playground area for little kids (especially ages 3 and under) with small structures to climb, baby swings, and a see saw, and a bigger playground with big kids swings and taller structures. There's also a small water play area in the middle with cute frog statues that spit out water during the hotter parts of the year. We often stop at Starbucks on the way for the adults and sometimes at a nearby donut shop (Chuck's or Dunkin' Donuts) for the whole family as a special treat.

Awesome new-ish play structures- one for older kids and one for 2-5 year olds. The older kid has…read moresuper tall slides, and even has a driving wheel thing that sings different songs.

There's also a dog park, large play area for field sports and a trail around the park that's around a quarter mile. On this day all little kids had on masks, I was impressed at their discipline at young ages. Bird poop free! Probably because of the dogs. Lol

I drove around a few blocks to get back to the park and parked in near some picnic tables. Once we finished lunch, we walked the dog around the park. We have a poop bag container attached to each of our leashes, but it was nice that the park had a dispenser. The one thing that was missing was that the water fountain did not have a spigot at doggy level. People were friendly and returned our greetings. Before returning to our vehicle, we took advantage of the restroom which was clean. We noticed as we were leaving that numerous other people were beginning their walks with their dogs at the park.

COVID: there is a limit on the number of people who can be in the playground Shade: The park has trees for multiple areas for shade. You can easily put down a picnic in the shade. The playground itself has shade sail things that cover the structure itself. In the snack area, there are adult tables and kid tables and offers a little bit of shade there. Playground: it's not a big playground, but has a nice play structure and swings. Sandbox area. All in all, a nice, quiet park and has easily become one of my favorites to bring the kids.

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.

I came here a few times after a day trip in SF or other parts of SM county and it's always a good time here. The only catch is you must come here at the right time otherwise there will be a lot of noise from soccer or baseball players. For the San Mateo County native this is the best place to watch sports if you got kids who are in a league or gather around with family and friends and just have a picnic. This is one of those large parks in Foster City btw so enjoy it while you can. I also came here when my local little league was doing a matchup game with the team in Foster City. There's also a snack bar here! Mind blown. I don't find this in all of my local parks in my county. When a game is going on, you win. You will love the view here as well. Best time to come here is either in the morning or during the sunset hours before the park closes because it gets super nice during that time of the year. There is also a nice place for cyclists and runners to enjoy with the long path nearby. This is in a nice neighborhood where everyone knows each other, so come by all means. Note: First come first serve here. Also be aware of your surroundings because things can get finicky here.
