The Volunteer Group Grant Program – Awardees
The San Mateo County Parks Foundation provides grants to volunteer groups that look after one or more San Mateo County Parks. Volunteers provide a variety of services on behalf of parks and park visitors, from pulling weeds and growing native plants to leading hikes and picking up litter. We are beyond grateful for the good work these groups and countless volunteers do to care for San Mateo County Parks.
Quarry Park Pump Track Moves Forward
One of the most popular elements of the Quarry Park Master Plan is the pump track. A pump track is a continuous circuit of banked turns interspaced by rollers and other features that can be ridden on a bike without pedaling.
