In 2022, we hosted the first San Mateo County Parks Staff photo contest, open to all employees of the Parks Department. We asked staff to submit their photos celebrating the people and work of the department and its service to parks, visitors and the community. We also asked for images of the County Parks system that highlight the scenic beauty, flora, fauna and unique attributes of the system.
Congratulations to the winners!
