The San Mateo City Parks and Recreation Foundation was established to encourage community engagement, volunteerism and philanthropy in order to insure that our rich parks and recreation heritage continues into the future. San Mateo’s park history is nearly 100 years old and began with the acquisition of the 16 acre Kohl Estate in 1922 which later became Central Park. After 90+ years, San Mateo’s park system has grown to over 30 developed parks and 275 acres of open space.
The Foundation is committed to conserving and improving the quality of our city parks for current and future generations to enjoy.
