San Mateo County is a popular place to live. As it ranges from mountain ridge to rugged coastline while connecting San Francisco proper to Silicon Valley, it’s easy to see why. Add accessible outdoor recreation opportunities at the 24 county parks, and you’ve got yourself one high standard of living.
But all those beautiful parklands don’t maintain themselves, and the San Mateo County Parks department has plenty on their plate. That’s why the San Mateo County Parks Foundation was formed, to help the county park uphold and improve the open space experience, through fundraising. The Foundation, a non-profit, raises money through grants and donations to support habitat restoration projects, recreational events, public education, and volunteer opportunities.
