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.

Joinville Park is a nice sized public park in San Mateo, CA. It's also known as "Bayside/Joinville…read morepark, " as it's adjacent to the Bayside Academy. This multi-use park features: -outdoor swim center -baseball field -multi-purpose field -playground -restrooms -tennis courts -dog park -picnic tables (reservable on park website) https://www.cityofsanmateo.org/3335/BaysideJoinville-Park I was in the area, and my GPS indicated that this park was nearby. So I went for a walk and visited the park. It's pretty easy to drive pass the entrance. The walk-in path is at Kehoe Ave & Kelly St. There's also a driveway leading to a common parking lot with Bayside Academy. It's not clearly marked, and it looks like you're driving into a school campus. So, I parked on the street. Based on the photos someone posted 12 yrs ago, this park hasn't changed much. It's looks fairly well maintained, and pretty clean of litter and dog turds. It has a cool walking path that goes by the Mariner's Lagoon. This community park is a nice place to rest, exercise, walk your dog, or just take a break from urban life. Located at 2111 Kehoe Ave, in the City of San Mateo.

I've been here when it has been busy and times when I have the place all to myself. There are times when a dragon boat organization uses it to practice. Have used this ramp for many years - SUP & kayak only. It's pretty clean (but watch out for the geese poop), 3+ level acres, and has lots of parking. There's an adjacent dog park and bathroom. Picnic tables and lawn area makes this park a nice place to picnic although according to the Park & Rec webpage, it's not reservable. Go and enjoy the waters!

As a hiker, be aware of your surroundings and stay on one side of the path, and be ready to move out of the way when a bicycle approaches. Sometimes bicyclists can approach from behind. The marsh gives off a not-so-pleasant smell. Scenery is ok; not spectacular but you'll see the bridge along this trail. No shade so wear a hat and bring water if you're planning to take a longer walk.
