Parks & Nature

This grassy park is at the end of the block. It has park benches and tables under large old trees that provide shade for an afternoon. Families walk around the park, kids kick soccer balls and play frisbee. Two iconic lion statues highlight the entrance to this park. The park was created almost 100 years ago as it is one of the oldest neighborhoods built in Redwood City.
