    It was very nice weather yesterday. It was warm and sunny. I am glad I could have some fresh air. The tree house and chair are so cool and beautiful. People are walking and playing with their dogs. Parents are taking their kids and few people are doing exercise here. It's very nice place to go to. :)

    This park is next to Burlingame High School, which is the large building on the park. There is lots of grass to walk on and many tall trees around the park,many eucalyptus. There are some interesting carvings from tree trunks in the park--little houses with stairs and other things. It is a fun thing to run into. It is convenient to the Caltrain station and the gardens are nice as well. It looks to be pretty well-maintained.

    Not my favorite park. It's new and very nice but on this particular evening Was completely invaded by teenagers. About 25 in total in about four or five different groups. One group took over the swing sets aggressively swinging and trying to break the double swing, another group Commandeered the cave, another group going berserk taking over play structure after play structure scaring all the little kids away and the last group of tween girls Planted right in front of the entrance to a climbing structure taking selfie's for about an hour and a half. How many freaking pictures do you need of yourself? Anyway, used to be a pretty decent park and it was mostly Burlingame Families but it seems as if the word has gotten out and now you've got teens coming from all over the place.

    Entrance to the community center, where I saw kids in a martial arts class

    Beautiful setting. Very well kept park. Stopped for a bathroom break & public restroom was clean & modern. The Community Center & other buildings there were impressive & apparently rentable for parties or meetings. It all looked brand new & it was a comfortable experience watching kids on the playground. I even took a video because I wished OUR town had something so beautiful. I saw a sign that it was built by a non-profit organization.

    Modern day Ace Ventura, taking a P.G.Gym & reading by sunset I stumbled upon a lost dog sign.  Please keep an eye out!

    This place is your nature-filled hidden gem amongst the run-of-the-mill lined streets of varying degree of rustic, contemporary, or historically coveted-style houses. Feel free to reserve spots of the park for celebrations, enjoy the convenient dapples of shade provided by the plethora of different species of trees, walk your dog or your kids (please don't be rude and pick up after them), or enjoy the BBall courts, baseball diamond or playground with its wood chipped foundation. Either way, the sunsets are amazing and tranquil, while the afternoons, whether it's crisp and lazily foggy or sun soaked with gentle breezes, this is the perfect place to be. Besides the poke stop and the gym, constantly claimed by team Mystic, bring a good book, cook some barbecue, or even sleep in the shade. Just don't think Team Mystic will give up the gym that easily!

    They just installed a new playground. I believe this is in prep for the new rec. Centre. Worth having a look, my kid loves it

    Courts are nice but many players over there hog the courts and don't respect the posted guidelines and other players waiting.

It's the closest you'll get to anything so pristinely Japanese, capturing the essence of the culture. It's a step into another world, little benches to sit and relax, loads of greenery and different species of trees and flowers. It's all awe here, such a treat. I'm mystified because another Yelper wrote that it was "sad with the koi pond and all ... " Completely bewildering because if there's anything "sad" in this gorgeous oasis away from the race of the cacophony loudness elsewhere int he world, away from cars and horns, away from business of foot traffic and blare, this is the best escape ever, to step into a little garden so replete with a sense of wonder and saturated with every shade of greenery ever. The groundskeepers fro a magnificent job of maintaining it, pruning and cutting, trimming everything, feeding the fish ... all of it requires diligence and dedication. This is an oasis. Refuge. A welcome mat for all things nature and love! Love love love.

There were two rangers standing there having a seemingly pleasant conversation which smiles and laughter. I walked up because I noticed a price per car for $6 but didn't notice a price per person for pedestrians and wanted to clarify and pay the appropriate fees if needed. I was impressed that I didn't need to stop their conversation, they stopped on their own, greeted us with big smiles, asked how they could help us. Brandon and Lee let us know that as pedestrians we didn't need to pay or occupy the time limits. I let them know my buddy would be picking up the girls when he got off work and leaving immediately. They stated no charge, I gave them the vehicle type, they weren't worried. I gave my buddy their names and let him know. Upon his entry he had no issue entering without paying since he was just looping through. Using the restrooms, they were clean, stocked, had soap and were useable. The bbq pits were cleaned from dirt and debris and ready to use. We went to sit on a picnic table and were stopped by a gentleman who stated he had just finished painting those specific tables and was currently adding a "wet paint" label to the tables We obviously were grateful for that. He ushered us to tables that were clear to be sat at and enjoyed. Parking areas were cleaned and so was the beach. On thing I did notice was a pathway of material in several different areas. I hate walking through deep sand and getting sand into my shoes and being stuck with it all day. My second thought was that that wasn't the intended use, that possibly the intended use for for individuals using wheelchairs, walkers, other assisted devices or for those with mobility issues to have a smoother surface. This made me happy that the facilities were seemingly inclusive as much as possible! I mean it is nature.

Hopefully, that atmosphere will return, I'm pretty sure it will and I'll check out this park again!!!

Great place to walk your dog and burn some calories! In the morning/early afternoon the weather is typically mild, but as the afternoon hits, it gets windier and windier. This trail runs along the bay, from Millbrae to San Mateo. I start at the Burlingame Marriott, and make my way towards to Coyote Point park. What's great about this trail is that you can make it as long or as short as you want. I typically can make this hike anywhere between 5-10 miles, depending on how I feel that day. You'll be treated to stunning views of the Bay, SF skyline, and of course plenty of airplane taking off and landing. Currently Facebook's new building is being built, so you'll want to watch for construction in the area as you head towards Coyote Point Rec center. I typically park by the Marriott right off the Millbrae ave exit, across the street from New England Lobster. There's a public lot with 10+ parking spots, so if you get there early, parking is easy. Come bit later, you may need to park across the street. Wherever you decide to park along the trail, HIDE ALL BELONGINGS! Car thieves are common in this area. If you plan to park closer to the Burlingame Dog Park on Airport, I had my car broken into while parking here, but it was my fault for leaving stuff out in the back seat. Definitely a lesson learned.
