As the days get longer and the weather heats up, San Mateo residents start heading to the local parks for fun and recreation. The Bay Meadows Park is a particularly popular destination, thanks to its twelve full acres of wide open, well manicured lawns and athletic fields.

In fact, during the afternoons and on weekends you're likely to find the park's soccer fields and baseball diamonds pretty crowded with local youth leagues and family outings, and yet despite the park's heavy usage, there always seems to be enough space for everyone. Bay Meadows Park's on-site picnic tables and outdoor grills make it easy to pack a lunch for your friends and family to enjoy, while the park’s regular special events ensure there’s a little something for everyone going on. Spread a blanket and enjoy one of the free outdoor movies as dusk falls, or bring a group of friends to sample tasty treats one of the park’s many festivals or food truck gatherings.
