I absolutely love to take a walk here whenever I can. You can surround yourself with beautiful, fragrant roses or enjoy the calm atmosphere of the Japanese garden. With green lawns, a dog park, playground, tennis courts, and plenty of benches and chairs...not to mention many great restaurants nearby...truly a wonderful spot to relax in the bustling downtown San Mateo!

We love doing engagement photos here! It's perfect and our couple had so much fun. No permit required and a lot of variety for backdrops. Can't wait to be back to do more engagement photos

Nice public park in downtown San Mateo. Large playground for young kids, and plenty of grassy area for older kids and dogs to run around. Useful bathrooms and some drinking fountains. Beware of cyclists if you’re wandering around with headphones on!

Really nice community park with a lot of space to walk around.
