Parks & Nature

Japanese Tea Garden (part of San Mateo Central Park) is a must see. Small walking trail leads you through a winding path of bonsai trees, tea houses, and koi ponds. Beautiful, serene and no entrance fee. Great place to eat lunch/dinner or just hang out. Get there early to enjoy Tai Chi. Join a game of volleyball, kick around a soccer ball, play tennis or just lay on the grass. Enjoy music in the park every Thursday evening in the summer.

Great paved trail to walk/run or ride your bike. Beautiful views of the reservoir and native wildlife. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed. Parking can be challenging but worth it.
