But I did notice there were lots of these fuzzy insects there that I've never seen before. I was a little scared of them, and I was more scared that my doggie client would accidentally step on them. Who knows if they are toxic or can hurt my doggie client's paws. Parking was easy as I just found street parking next to the park. There's no restrooms here, and there are some trash bins around.

Pros- we had the park to ourselves, my daughter and I for the first 45 minutes to an hour. Then it…read morestarted filling up. There was a family with 3 or 4 kids age 8 or so and under. One of their little boys through a big rock towards my daughter and it nearly hit her. Parents didn't even have him apologize. This was on a Friday afternoon. Kids are a pure product of their parents and it's sad they don't get disciplined for nearly harming another human, on purpose. The kid was laughing. Shame on his mom and dad for not teaching him how wrong on so many levels that was. Had the rock hit my daughter, there would have been serious consequences including calling the authorities that were the ones who referred us to that park.

And had the chance to breathe and meditate in nature. There was the background noise of children in the playground but my ears focused and concentrated in the bird singing and other type of sounds. Very relaxing place. Some pet parents talking to each other, some people taking a nap, a few others tending the beautiful flower and veggie gardens at the corner next to the playground. It is the perfect city park where you can spend hours reading a book and doing nothing else than checking the clouds passing by.

It had been several years since I last visited this park, but I enjoyed my recent run here on a…read moreTuesday afternoon just before sunset. Parking was easy, and there's a restroom near the main lot for convenience. I appreciated the relaxing atmosphere while taking in the beautiful scenery and exploring the various features of the park. Waterbirds in the pond, lovely trees and vegetation, a few benches scattered throughout, and seemingly endless fields of rolling hills, as well as a creative pattern of trails weaving in and around the park, which made it ideal for running. I even revisited one of the most unique trails here, The Great Spirit Path, a collection of stone sculptures with a nature-themed poem by Susan Dunlap broken up into verses displayed throughout the park (see my separate review for more on "The Great Spirit Path"). I was a little disappointed to find that some of the sculptures, mostly near the parking lot, are missing or destroyed (as of December 2025). But further into the grassy hills, I was glad to see that a majority of the artwork still stands, some marred by vandalism, but most intact having withstood the passing of time. This trail makes for an interesting hike, discovering pieces of art that blend in nicely with the surrounding natural environment.

Small Wunder A…read more940-acre park nestled in the eastern Redwoods and madrone-laden slopes of King Mountain. The name of the park is derived from contractor Martin Wunderlich, who donated the land to San Mateo County. The Good: * Free to visit * Parking lot * Picnic tables available * Restroom in parking lot * Seventeen miles of trails, including several loops. * If you like horses, then this is the place for you! There's a really cool old historic stable and lots of equine action to be found. * Camping available (https://www.smcgov.org/parks/make-reservation) The Meh: * Currently, no recreational horse activities like trail rides and lessons are available. * Crazy elevation gains, as trail elevations run from ±350' to over 4,300'. Be sure to check the trail guides to make sure you don't get in over your head. * No dogs allowed The Ugly: * The restroom has no running water, just hand sanitizer. * I'll admit, I'm not a fan of horses, and having to share trails with horses isn't my idea of a good time. Conclusion: Not the biggest park in this area that's full of fantastic OSPs, but it's certainly worth a visit--especially if you're a hippophile.

Hiked at Wunderlich Park on a sunny Saturday in March! We used AllTrails for directions and we…read morereached around 9am - to our surprise, the parking lot was full by then so definitely recommend coming earlier. There were multiple cars circling around looking for a spot as well. We ended up waiting about 30 minutes before parking. We did the Bear Gulch and Alambique trail clockwise. There are some brief steep sections, but for the most part, the trail was moderate in terms of difficulty. We didn't encounter too many people despite all the cars in the lot. We spotted a small snake on the trail and there was a lot of horse manure on the Alambique portions, so we had to watch our step closely. The trail was mostly shaded which was nice, but there wasn't much of a view. Overall, the trail was well marked and maintained (minus the manure on Alambique). Good hike for a sunny day, but the parking lot situation could be improved.

We came here around 10am on a Saturday and had no trouble parking. There's a map at the entrance, and we decide to start with the Old Stage Road, which is paved. It's almost all uphill for about 3/4 miles, and then the rest is pretty flat with great views. There are lots of different trails to take, and there are markers to keep you on track. We did about a 3-ish mile loop. As we approached a herd of deer, we remained very quiet and kept our distance, and they just continued grazing. There are interpretive signs along the trail, which we used as a scavenger hunt list. I don't think we would have noticed the turkey tail mushrooms if it weren't for the signs. We look forward to returning in Spring to catch even more wildflowers.

The park itself has a lot to offer including soccer fields, baseball fields, mini skate park, dog park, basketball courts and even bathrooms. It can get busy throughout the week with many people practicing for sports but there's a huge amount of parking throughout the entire park. No matter the time of day I always feel safe walking through the park and recommend people to check it out. It is fairly clean so I encourage others to do their part and keep the community clean for others :)

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.
