"San Mateo County proudly operates two dozen parks that offer fun for everyone," said Parks Director Nicholas Calderon. "From the San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean, your county's parks offer natural spaces, playgrounds, special programs and more. After a very challenging year, we encourage everyone to get out and breathe fresh air in your county parks."
Parks staff members are available by phone and email, Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., while appointments for in-person service can be made through the site https://parks.smcgov.org/contact-us.
While the department's main office at County Center in Redwood City remains closed to the public, camp reservations are now available for group and youth camps.
Most services, such as making reservations, purchasing park passes, and park and trail news, can be found at SMCoParks.org.
Youth camps are also back, and reservations can be made starting June 21 at 650-363-4021.
Notably, all restrooms and walk-in picnic areas are open (except in construction zones), while round-trip hiking has resumed in all specific areas.
