Tucked between Foster City on San Francisco Bay and Interstate 280, San Mateo is home to more than 90,000 people. Its centralized location in the mid-Peninsula allows Bay Area travelers to easily appreciate the fine features that make this charming city the only one of its kind.

If playing a round of golf is more appealing, Popular Creek Golf Course is an 18-hole course with rolling fairways and fast greens.
San Mateo also has more than 30 parks that include such facilities as playgrounds, athletic fields, swimming pools, youth programs and scenic views. Harbor View Park overlooks San Francisco Bay and is adjacent to the Coyote Pointe Recreation Center. This popular activity center welcomes picnickers, windsurfers, cyclists, joggers, fishermen and boaters – from professionals to the hobbyists. Magic Mountain Playground recently opened at Coyote Point with slides, swings, a castle and dragons so children can entertain themselves all day long. At the end of the day, the downtown area has countless eateries to help you recuperate – from burgers and pizza to French and Italian cuisine.
