I remember when it used to have the big tire swing and the metal slide that burned in the summer time. It has completely changed from when I was a kid.
They moved the fire station on the corner which gave room for a small playing field and picnic tables. They added a water feature to the park and upgraded all the playground equipment.
It has a small basket ball area and a large tennis court next to it. The water feature is fun for the kids too.
This is a small park so parents please, WATCH YOUR KIDS, The Popsicle truck drives around and parks near the sidewalk, be careful that your children don't run into the street.
Other than that, it should be fun. -

This is small park in Redwood City very close to Hwy 101 between the Woodside and Marsh Road exits.
The park has the usual playground equipment plus a nice water sprinkler in the spring and summer months. Kids love running through the sprinklers and it was designed just for it. The sprinklers shoot up from the ground and some of the older kids like to stand on them or push around each other to get near them so if you have small kids they may get intimidated. It just depends how many kids are there. Generally, though this park has really well behaved kids and the other families there have always been nice.
My only complaint is that this park often has trash on the ground. It doesn't seem to get cleaned as often as some of the other parks in Redwood City, but generally speaking Redwood City has great public parks and you should take advantage of them, especially on hot days.
Fyi...this park has a lot of shade so if your kids want to run through the fountain on a very hot day this place may be a better choice than some of the other Redwood City parks. -

this is a GREAT park. discovered it today while out running errands. i love that there are two separate playgrounds (big kids, little kids) and are well enclosed by a gate. lots of green for those who want to picnic or relax and plenty of trees that provide tons of shade. the only reason i docked a star is because i don't like parks with wood chips (seems very popular in this area?). i'd prefer if it was all made of the squishy flooring that you see when you enter the playground area. wood chips just seem like it could collect bugs and things as well as give kids splinters. other than that, wonderful place to play. i also like that there is a basketball court as well as a lighted tennis court. nicely varied for everyone in the family to enjoy.

This place got a much needed makeover years ago. I agree with the first poster about everything. Please keep in mind that this is a TINY park. Watch your kids because the street is very close. Other than that, it's a pretty decent place to chill out.
