    Girl Scout rocks

    This is a huge park with one full baseball courts, two baseball practice field, one fully equipped batting cage, open soccer field, three tennis courts, two basketball courts, three bocco courts, water fountain playground, sandbox playground, multiple playgrounds.

    Back of the stage, I don't think I've ever seen a park with a stage before

    Came here to burn some time when too early for preschool, it's in a wealthier area so it's immaculately maintained and something I wish was more standard for kids playgrounds. Floor is rubberized in the playground area with different elevations and fun levels for kids to climb around without getting bored quickly. The most terrifying and hilarious part of this set is the slide is set at a pretty crazy angle, I want to say it's at 70 degrees and will send your kid flying. My "not in kansas" moments happened at this playground when I saw the Bocce Ball court and a mini amphitheater for live music and performances, two things definitely not at standard parks. I also liked the old oak trees and colorful landscaping. Bathrooms are clean and also very nice basketball courts, tennis courts, and a baseball diamond.

    Nice Playgrounds!

    Beautiful park. Bring your kids, bring your family, enjoy the Sun (or rain) and live your life to the fullest. Love this park. It's clean and pristine. There's playgrounds for all age groups. There's basketball hoops and lots of grass. Stop reading this and just go see for yourself.

    Dino swings!!
    Anita T.

    One of my daughter's favorite playgrounds, even though it wasn't the closest to our house. We used to go for an hour or so after her gymnastics class. Pros: Not too crowded or crazy. For all the times we went, it was never so overcrowded that I'd be worried about my daughter getting pushed around. Other popular playgrounds (i.e. Magical Bridge), I wouldn't be able to say the same. Separate gated area for toddlers with infant swings, sandbox, smaller play structure; larger spacious play structure nearby with larger swings. Rubber bottomed on the ground so jumping off the structures is easy on the knees. Clean -- people here are respectful about keeping the place looking great. Safe neighborhood -- traffic is not crazy, so I don't get anxious even though the park is open to roads bordering all sides. Stage area for performances -- I believe the summer music series is here Near ball fields, nicely kept up paved paths, and the San Carlos Community Center (enjoyed gymnastics class here!!) Other facilities (i.e. bocce) are also nearby. Bathrooms available in the park and also SCCC. Cons: Parking is often pretty congested due to the classes being run at the San Carlos Community Center, which shares a small lot, but side of street parking all around and leading up to the lot is usually available.

    Basketball courts closed
    Albert L.

    Great spot pre-COVID-19 for kid and family friendly playground, grass area, 2 full court basketball courts with a nice floor finish, and tennis courts. Basketball courts are closed during COVID-19, and understandably so Looking forward to the day when they're back open again and COVID-19 "dies" down

    toddler playground...gated

    purchasing a new home in san carlos and finding burton park just down the street....making visits on weekends for the little one to play...a gated playground for toddlers with swings, slides, sandbox and more...picnic tables ready for reservations for bigger parties...bigger playground just outside the gates....clean and everything in proper order...baseball field and youth center all within the park... water feature located between the gated toddler playground and the bigger playground...black round sensor pad to stomp on to activate on the ground...1 shooting an arch of water...2 others squirting water up...pretty small water feature to play in...ryder park in san mateo has a much nicer water feature...

    Beautiful San Carlos

    Oh San Carlos! The beautiful view at night and the most upscale houses that I have seen! If I could afford to live here, trust me I would. I first found out about San Carlos as I was applying for my job (3 years ago) and lucky I was stationed out of San Carlos. It has grown from the 3 years that I have seen it. Nice shopping centers. Beautiful houses and condos! Great schools! And lets not forget the Deers that decide to come out in the day and night :) I make sure that no matter where my job relocates me to, I'm somewhere close to San Carlos. :) At night, when you go all the way up San Carlos hills you can see the beautiful view of San Francisco and San Mateo bridge. A+ for the variety of different schools within the area such as: Edison Montessori school, Sequoia children Center,Central Elementary school, Heather Elementary school....the list goes on and on... The area is mostly populated by families and older adults. Nice family community. There are tons of parks around the area such as: Burton Park, Highlands Park, Eaton Park, Crestview Park...The list goes on....Long story short! This city is perfect for families with children :)

    This recently redone park is almost ideal, with cushy ground that makes it one of the safer playgrounds and a latch gate to the toddler section that toddlers can't open and close themselves. The park features: * 3 types of swings * Sandbox * Water to play with * Play structures (fenced off area geared for kids ages 2-5, area geared for kids ages 5-12) * Large open lawn * Tennis courts * Basketball courts * Picnic tables * Street parking Tips: Bring spare clothes and shoes for toddlers so you're prepared when they soak themselves with water play, unless it's a really hot day (in which case - whee!). Suggestions for improvement: - It would be better if they had more baby swings - there are only 2 in highly populated area (should have at least 4, and there's space for it). - The park could use a bit more shade in the toddler playground area, especially on really hot days. It's a gorgeous park and probably my new favorite.

    Another baseball game........another early day......

    Ask the Community - Burton Park

    Is Burton Park dog friendly?

    It is ABSOLUTELY dog friendly 🐶 I bring my dog there every time I go. There's also a field right in front of the stage and one 10x as big right next to the youth center.

    What time does the ice cream truck usually arrive?

    The Mister Softee ice cream truck usually arrives from 1:00 pm to 1:30 pm on Wednesdays, and the other one arrives at 3:00 pm on all weekdays except for Wednesday.

    Does anyone know if the water features at Laureola and Burton parks are working? We wanted to go this weekend 9/16, but weren't sure if the dates were through September or ending on Sept 1. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

    Yes, the water feature will be on on 9/16. The water stays on through the month of September and turns off in October. Have fun.

    Are there batting cages?

    Yes, on the edge of the baseball field

"A lovely, intimate park located in a ravine alongside Ralston Ave north of El Camino in hilly Belmont. The park follows a babbling brook and includes lots of picnic areas and shady places to rest. Located just down Ralston before El Camino Real, Twin Pines is a 19-acre park owned by the city of Belmont, which houses the Belmont Historical Society Museum, Belmont Parks and Recreation, and the Senior and Community Center. The park is frequented by visitors picnicking and people attending various events throughout the year, including free afternoon concerts each Sunday in the summer - Hungarian Heritage Foundation The beautiful Twin Pines Park is home to Belmont City Hall and the Parks & Recreation Department. It is truly a treasure hidden in the middle of the city, where you will find a combination of rental facilities, parks, picnic areas, and short trails. Come explore the creek or simply enjoy a nice day outside with the fresh scents of nature! There is plenty of parking available. Open sunrise to sunset. See the expanded map here or here. Reservations: You can reserve picnic areas such as Buckeye, Redwood, or Meadow. Facility rentals accommodate 25-250 people and include the Cottage, Lodge, Manor, and Senior & Community Center. For the future of the park, check out the Twin Pines Park Master Plan and the Twin Pines Park Tree Succession Plan, a recommendation of the Master Plan. Organized activities (parties, professional photo shoots, meetings, retreats, etc) must make a reservation with the Belmont Parks & Recreation Department.

The entrance is down a side alley off of Old County Road so it can be easy to miss. However, once you pull in, there is plenty of parking.

The play area has rubberized floor for safety, tents above the structures for some shade from the harsh cali summer sun, and very light touches of a log-cabin/ wood theme. For younger kids the most dangerous and sometimes fun areas are: -The larger slide, getting to the top is a bit sketchy with a small ladder you have to climb off of to the right instead of straight. The slide itself is almost hilariously tall with lots of bumps and tight curves that seem like they are designed to injure your kid, just look at the pictures. -Wave machine, if your kid is into space and nasa you can get them an early start by jumping on one end of this and launching them into orbit.
