For 30 years I’ve been experiencing Central Park and I feel so lucky! I’ve jogged through the rose garden, said hello to the statues, rubbed the dog’s nose, strolled in the Japanese Garden, put on a party at the Community Center, played tennis on the courts, played softball on the field, enjoyed soft ice cream at concessions, ice skated, watched my young kids go round and round in the small train, go up and down, climb higher and higher on the structure, learn to do the monkey bars, held birthday and sports end of season parties and baby showers in the grove, bought plants and attended art shows in the plant shop, observed morning tai chi from the bench, staffed a table at the Pride festival, ate chili and drank beer at the chili festival, picnicked and played soccer, T ball, volleyball and frisbee in the grassy middle, reflected on lowered flags, admired the storytelling signs during Covid, watched dance recitals and Shakespeare, danced, chatted, and grazed at summer concerts, learned ceramics, honored our sister city in Japan and now heroes from San Mateo, meditated in the gazebo, and over and over again met new and old friends in our beautiful community hub!

Fantastic place to walk around with a stroller and kids. Japanese garden is serene and beautiful. A great place to spend a quiet weekend afternoon.
