Nice park! Very chill, good energy! I love bringing my kid here. Has a good time running aroundread more

I'm extremely disappointed with my recent experience at the San Bruno Recreation Center,…read morespecifically with an employee named Jordan. My son has come here many times to play basketball and previously enjoyed it, but after this experience he doesn't even feel comfortable returning. Jordan questioned my son's membership/age, told him his membership was invalid, and made him leave, even though another employee later confirmed that he still had 8 paid scans remaining. When I came in to ask questions and requested to speak with a supervisor, Jordan became confrontational, raised his voice at me in front of my children, and told me that if I continued being "rude and disrespectful," I could be kicked out and no longer welcomed at the facility. That was completely unacceptable to me. Parents should be able to respectfully question a policy or advocate for their child without being yelled at or threatened with removal from a community facility. I do want to recognize Kayla, who was incredibly kind, professional, and helpful. She showed that policies can be explained and enforced while still treating families with respect. I genuinely feel Jordan could benefit from additional training in customer service, de-escalation, and how to appropriately communicate with children and families. Working in a community recreation center means interacting with people of all ages, including children, and even when enforcing rules, those interactions should be handled calmly and respectfully. I've been part of the San Bruno community my entire life, so it's especially disappointing that my son and I now feel uncomfortable returning. I truly hope management takes this concern seriously and addresses it so families can feel welcome and respected here.

"WOW....!"-exclaimed 3 eight year olds. The rope "structure" and bridge that leads to the a slide…read morewas fun to climb through. My 1 yo got to play in the smaller structure -slide -bongos -monkey bars and baby swings. Oh! I need to also mention that we love parks with the recycled rubber when you are pretty much walking/running/jumping on clouds. There is also a basketball court and field with plenty of well kept grass. We wanted to check this park out since the remodel and it was a hit. Ok I'm done. :)

Parking: There are two lots. One by the baseball field…read morewhich is a shortish walk to the kids playground, and one right next to the playground which I didn't park at because I couldn't figure out how to get there. A wanderer explained I would need to get back on the freeway and go around etc. so I just shrugged and hauled myself on the paved path to the park. Playground: I'm such a fan because my son is 17 months and the playground was a great size for him. The slides are low to the ground so I feel comfortable with him going down on his own. I wish the swings were longer cause it's a lot back and forth quick swings but he doesn't complain and asks to jump back and forth between the two options. The area is very small, but not crowded so a sweet low key option for a parent who doesn't want to run around too much. There's a fun dome like spinning seat and a larger swing to sit with your kid in as well. There's not a ton at this park but what there was enough. Safety: I felt super safe here! I There were a handful of people with kids resting at some of the few picnic tables who kept to themselves. There were a few teenagers that strode in but they also kept to themselves. The flooring at this park is spongey and I had no worries about my son falling. There is a concrete "stage" with concrete seating around it that my son loved climbing on so I was close-by for that play area. Resting: Plenty of grass for picnics and 2-3 picnic tables that I noticed. Nothing was shaded though. Overall: I would definitely come back. My son was not ready to leave as he loved it here. I just need to figure out the correct parking lot!

Another recently redone park. Besides the basketball courts and a community center there, the…read moreplayground is broken into 2 sections, small kids and big kids. Designs by Kompan, there are a bit more rope climbing stuff. Nonetheless, it is a very nice park and has rubberized ground. Parking is plentiful!! (unless there is a party at the center). Bathrooms are clean and spacious. Tables are everywhere and it is a place to find people hanging out.

I've been going to this park since the 80's when the park wasn't in a good shape. The main reason…read morefor going to this park was to play pick-up basketball when I used to be gung-ho about playing. Even if the court was outdoors, there were always good competition with older Filipino men to go around. Even though I was a kid and younger than them, I gave 'em a few bumps and bruises. After so many knee surgeries, playing basketball is no longer an option for me...let alone playing outdoors on hard concrete. I'll leave that to the younger generation now as I've come to terms that my glory days are way over. Besides, I don't want to be embarrassed as I've become that old Filipino man that I use to clown on the court. Yup, growing old sucks. Since my playing days are long gone, the city and county has poured in a lot of money to improve, not just the basketball court, but the entire park. There's two separate playgrounds for the older kids and toddlers. Both floor decks are made from recycled rubber, which has become the norm for modern playgrounds. It's very soft and bouncy with a little give for extra padding. There's plenty of picnic tables, that is often rented for parties and events. It's also handicap accessible with wheelchair ramps built in for easy access. There's plenty of grassy fields in the picnic areas as well as the baseball field. Dogs are welcomed too and poo bags are available for your disposal. Bring your dog to the old football field just besides the baseball field to let them run around off leash. There's plenty of free parking spaces available in the parking lot, as well as street parking. There's two tennis courts in an enclosed fence that makes it feel like a private court. They have offices and a community center inside, but I've never been in. If you live in the neighborhood, there's pathways that leads you to the park. Be careful though since I've encountered a few coyotes living in the area, including my sister, who lives just a couple of blocks away. It's a good place to be outdoors to get your exercise, walk your dog or just breathe fresh, foggy and cool South San Francisco weather. It's a clean and well-maintained park that's a good place to hang around and staying active.

We came here for the Sing Tao Event. First time at this place. It's a big facility with a big front…read moreyard and a lot of spaces.

What a wonderful facility!…read more This building is very new (only ~1.5 years old) and absolutely beautiful! You walk into a large naturally lit lobby, with local event flyers and news on display, as well as Millbrae branded merch (hats, shirts, etc) for sale. There is a reception desk with staff there to help and answer any questions. I came specifically to pick up a custom SF Giants Kleenex box that I ordered at the recent Millbrae Art & Wine Festival. We were greeted by Laurie, who was very friendly and told us all about what they had to offer at the Rec. Center. Just behind some glass doors near the lobby, is a game room. This is mostly targeted towards kids, with a giant TV and various video game systems to play with. We saw around a dozen kids hanging and playing in this area as we walked by. As you continue down on the first floor, there are classrooms, conference rooms, and even a giant hall that can be rented in full (or half) for private events! They also have a kitchen connected, which is helpful for events serving food. There are several clean and accessible bathrooms, as well as lots of fun historic photos on display. They have a Fitness Center with various equipment, and space for aerobic classes. There's also a room dedicated entirely to Ping Pong! If you get hungry or thirsty, there are two vending machines with drinks and snacks, and several water fountain/refill stations throughout. There is also an entire upstairs area. In addition to private rooms, there is a "Senior Lounge" which has comfortable seating, a large TV, and a half-kitchen. There is an outdoor patio connected up top with over a dozen lounge type chairs to enjoy some fresh air. They also have space for outdoor activities for people of all ages. There are multiple playgrounds for kids, in addition to multiple tennis courts and a large field. The Rec. Department also oversees many other fields (school and other) and a skate park, according to their website! If you live in (or near) Millbrae, you gotta check out this Rec. Center! There is a ton to do, it's super bright and clean, and the staff is all very friendly and welcoming! I'm looking forward to coming back again and utilizing some of these amazing features!
