Crestview Park is a cute but small park with a playground, soccer field and rubber running track. I really enjoyed visiting this park. I hiked through Eaton Park to Big Canyon Park to Crestview Park. It's a really pretty park and super family friendly. I'd recommend visiting this park if you live in Redwood City. There is parking at the entrance and has beautiful views at the north end of the park with shade from eucalyptus trees. read more

Nice little park in the middle of 3-4M dollar homes. Pros: Semi-fenced, very clean playground with little kid and big kid structures, and a sand pit. Kids and their parents have been really respectful of masking up and being cautious. Nice, neat soccer field with a rubber track - great for doing your laps while being able to see your kids. Umbrella shaded picnic tables - good for lunchin' before or after playtime. Garbage cans at the ready. Exceedingly safe, apparently -- I left my diaper bag here once with my phone in it O_O and found it untouched in the same place that night! Dogs allowed, but not a lot of walking space for them. Everyone seems to respectfully pick up after their dog, which is great. Cons: WINDY!!! If it's windy in flatlands, it is VERY WINDY here! I thought I was dealing with a breezy day close to downtown, but you come up here and I half expected farm animals and fence posts to be flying around! Small parking lot that is often packed on the weekends. Expect to park roadside on steep hills at popular times. Playground is pretty small compared to some of the bigger ones like Burton in SC or Red Morton's Magical Bridge. read more

i've lived in rwc for nearly 10 years and never visited this park until a couple weeks ago. granted, this park is in san carlos, but it's only a couple miles from where i live and i never ventured here! my friend suggested we meet here to start a trail run/hike at nearby eaton park & big canyon park. crestview is very easy to find, located in a quiet neighborhood, and a very pretty and well-maintained park. amenities: **free parking, but maybe only enough for 10-12 cars **proper flush toilets in the restrooms **drinking fountains **paved, circular track for guests to run or walk around (unsure of exact distance though) **basketball courts **play structures for kids will definitely be visiting here more in the future! read more

Searching for accessible flat trails. . I walk with assistive device but not allowed on cushioned path. This is accessible for some, but not walkers/scooters/wheelchairs. . Otherwise its a beautiful well-maintained small space. read more

Great park! Clean bathrooms. Even got a gender neutral bathroom. The play structures are unique and fun. There's a huge grass lawn that's well-kept and has a track around it for walkers. Lunch tables, basketball court, and nice views also available here. The only downside is that there limited parking but street parking is easy. read more

small parking lot with some street parking at the top of san carlos....large playground with everything off to the left (closed during covid-19)...picnic tables and basketball court to the back...large flat grassy field surrounded by a walking, jogging or biking path...many people walking along the path...kids riding bikes....a good park on less windy days...can get windy because of the location.... read more

Another reason why it's great here. San Mateo County Astronomical Society have their Crestview Star Parties here. That's where they bring their telescopes and those cool astronomer's laser flash light thing that points at the stars to tell you how many light years away they are and teach the little ones about the stars and galaxies. It's really friendly meetings of star struck people. http://www.smcas.com/events/at_crestview_park/ read more

Really nice park, only downside is parking lot is small so you'll need to fish for parking on a somewhat hilly main street. Nice slide and jungle gym fixtures, beautiful track/soccer field, and restrooms arent bad. read more

It's a very visually appealing play structure, but my child didn't care about the nice metal flowers or cute bug climbing ramp. Not kid useable. For example, the ramp was hard to climb because of the cute raised characters. Or the interesting sandwich statue doesn't offer any use for play. The neat jumpy pad is inaccessible to parents, so limits a smaller child getting on, which may be good to self select who plays on the possibly bigger kid structure. It's not fenced in. It's far away from any other places, so limits lunch adventures to bringing your own picnic. Maybe we caught the park on an off day, but it seemed the children weren't very friendly. It is very pretty, has unique play features, clean, well maintained, and has a bathroom. read more

Cute park on the smaller side but has two playgrounds (one for older kids, one for younger), a sand pit, basketball courts and fields nearby. The playground areas have soft foam carpeting and the play structures are unique so the kids have a lot of fun! read more

We frequent here with our dogs or my in-laws dog. Walking distance from up or down the hill it's clean and nice. If you are walking down the hill just be aware the hill going back up is a doozy!!!! Not sure why people are complaining about messes. The place has always been super clean when I come here. And please dear god keep picking up after your fur kids!!!! read more

Newly renovated and re-opened mid Nov 2014. A great playground with a sand pit for young ones and older kids too (they will love the giant peanut butter sandwich!) There's a new grass field, running/walking track, basketball court and picnic tables. If you love Burton Park, you'd be thrilled with Crestview Park. read more

Crestview Park - New play structure for little ones. Separate area from the bigger kids structure. - Parks Near Me - San Carlos, California

Great neighborhood park and good for dogs. The play area for kids sits in sand is suited for kids 3+. Obviously you can take younger ones there, and I did, but the slide, swinging tire, etc are for the 3-4+. Great cement area with hoops courts where kids can practice riding those small bikes. Walking path around part of the fields (2-3 fields). I went there on a Sat 6 PM - and it was quiet. They also take dogs off leash which is nice. read more

Who let the dogs out!!! I visit this park once a week or so to run my dog(s). If you time yourself right, you can have the whole field all to yourself, but there are a lot of soccer practices in the afternoons. The park picks up a nice breeze, has beautiful views and is very nicely taken care of. A very relaxing place to visit with kids / pets! & You can easily let your dog of it's leash for a little exercise time! read more

Major renovation of Crestview Park is now complete, and they did a great job. Natural grass field is now open, and there is an excellent running/walking track. (5 laps = 1.1 miles) See http://cityofsancarlos.org/depts/pr/prksfac/park_information/crestview_park.asp and http://sancarlos-web.civicasoft.com/depts/pr/prksfac/park_information/crestview_park.asp read more

Great neighborhood park - I do love the track here. Especially nice super early when there's hardly anyone out "City of good living" defined read more

I really like this park. There is a bathroom. It is off 280 Edgewood. The kids play area is covered with a yellow tarp. There is a walk track as well. Parking can be limited if there is an event going on. read more

I really like this park. My kids love it. I like how there's only one spot with sand and it's enclosed also and away from the streets. They also have a nice track field that myself and others like to take advantage of in the mornings. Very nice play ground. read more

This place is brand spanking new, squeaky clean, and never crowded. What a gem. Thank you San Carlos!

Such a beautiful Park! I love the fact that it's well maintained and clean! Perfect park especially for the little ones. Also has beautiful views since it's high up on the hill top! read more

Spent a lot of time here with my son and his soccer team. The field is a bit chopped up. Instead of retrofitting it with astro turf, Id like to see them just redo the field with regular grass and maintain it better. read more

This place is unreal. Driving there is half the fun for my boys - high up on the mountain driving by scenic views of the bay! Playground are awesome, clean, and safe. Plenty of hide and seek options. Restrooms are clean, real grass fields are well taken care of. No complaints! read more

This is a great park! I have a 3 year old and she absolutely loves it here! She can handle both play structures and loves to play with the kids in the sand area. Also, it seems the parents are very friendly here and I am always able to strike up a nice conversation with a parent. The adjacent soccer field is nice to keep you entertained while the little one plays. Only downside is the parking, but other than that it's a great place to bring your little one. read more

For what it is it's a good little park. After public response the plan was revised without AstroTurf and without removing the redwood trees. Renovations finished in December. New playground is pretty good, though the step to nowhere and the concrete sandwich are a bit bizarre. New field looks great though - looking forward to enjoying this in the years to come. read more

Great park for a crawling and climbing toddler. The slides are nice and shallow so my 15-month old can climb up and slide down on his own. The sand pit is fun and he loved climbing the "steps to nowhere" and hopping down the other side. Too bad there isn't more shade. read more

Great atmosphere, kids can play while adults can play basketball, frisbee, or run on the grass.

First discovered this recently renovated playground a few months ago. It is now a favorite of mine in San Carlos. Pros: Very well designed semi-enclosed play area One entrance to playground helps you keep track of kids (not gated but at least only one point of entry/exit) Basketball courts adjacent to playground Picnic tables Overall good visibility and line of sight anywhere in the park Field area surrounded by track is awesome for playing ball, scooting & riding Cons: Not very walkable as it is in a hilly area Parking lot is small so you may have to street park on a hill Not much shade so better in the cooler months Overall, if you are looking for an enclosed playground and grassy area you really can't do much better than this anywhere in San Carlos. read more
