What a fantastic park for the little ones, located at the back of Pacifica. Since it's more in the…read morevalley, it's shielded a bit from the sea winds and the weather is quite nice. The play structure is massive and definitely caters to the little ones' imaginations as you can pretend you're in a castle, complete with turrets. They also have a sandbox, playhouses, and swings, so you are sure to find something for all the kids to enjoy. They also have picnic tables and a giant grassy area where you can run around, hold birthday parties, or just sit to have lunch. A couple of bathrooms are located on site, and they are relatively clean, although they do not provide soap or sanitizer.

For an impressive waterfall it's pretty mid. But the area around has some trails with nice views of…read morethe ocean and beyond. Yelpers have mentioned the trail to the waterfall starts where Westline Dr. and Skyline Dr. meet. From here it's fairly intuitive on where to go. I felt the trail down to the falls seemed too steep to attempt so I opted out. I'm not sure if it was better a few years ago but when I went it felt dangerous and easy to lose footing. I wouldn't recommend this part for someone hiking alone, with kids, or with inexperienced hikers. The trail continues in the other direction along Westline Avenue with views of the ocean. If you continue you can see the top of the waterfall from here. You have to walk a little off the main trail in the ice plant but it's worth it if you want to see the falls. Another way is you can see this waterfall is by walking from Esplanade Beach. From the top of the stairs there the waterfall is about .6 miles. It's so much easier to get to this way and it's a nice beach walk. From here you can't see the waterfall as clear because there is a lot of debris in the way. In this sense it's almost a better view from above. The waterfall comes out of a storm drain which isn't as nice and only flows after a big rain. I wouldn't come out of my way to see this waterfall. But I think it's worth coming to see if you are already at Esplanade Beach or live in the neighborhood and are walking the trail alongside Westline Dr. From the start point to the beach and back it's about a 3.4 mile hike.

This is a nice enough spot to go for a hike. It was easy to find my way to the Sneath Lane Trail…read moreParking using google maps, a small lot within a residential neighborhood, that fits about 10-15 vehicles. It was foggy, cold, and incredibly windy during my visit last week, and of course, there's an incline as the trail wraps around the mountain. But it wasn't too bad, the actual climb up didn't feel as difficult as it looked from a distance, starting with the sneath lane trail then connecting to other trails higher up. In fact, there are many options for different trails to take. The Baquiano Trail had a dirt pathway while the Notch Trail toward the Nike Missile Control Site was paved. Near the SF Bay Discovery Site, there's a small restroom building (it was pretty clean for a park facility, on a Thursday afternoon). The gorgeous foliage lining the various paths was captivating, along with lovely views of the hills, lake (san andreas reservoir), and sunlit scenery in the distance. Too foggy to enjoy the views the higher you get though, just a giant cloud of fog everywhere. I barely made it three miles out before turning back. It was just far too windy and foggy to wanna be out there very long (I'm sure hot days would be even worse with zero shade to be found). Plus my legs definitely had a workout from the uphill trek. Luckily the jog back down was a breeze. And I did slow down to appreciate the vegetation and vast array of plant species, once again, before leaving.

There are a few entrances, but I think the most popular one is on Sneath Lane. This trail is paved…read moreand pretty steady and not too difficult for about a mile but then gets a bit steeper for the next mile to the top. On the way up you can see views of the San Andreas Reservoir Lake. After the rain you can hear the water flowing and see some little streams and wild mushrooms. To the ridge is a little under 2 miles. I like the fact there is a small bathroom which I find quite rare on trails like this. To the left is the San Francisco Discovery Site which has a plaque with some information. Apparently, this was the place the Spanish settlers first saw the San Francisco Bay. To the right the trail goes along the ridge to the remains of the old Nike missile site. The views are stellar, and one can see for miles on end, Marin, the city, Pacifica Mount Diablo, etc. I love watching all the planes coming in and out from nearby SFO. From Sneath the hike is about 5 miles and 2 hrs. I've also gone the Mori Trail route which is nice because it's not paved but this trail is steeper. It's worth checking out the funky Shelldance Orchid Gardens which is located at the trailhead but they are only open on the weekends.

There are many different trails, the longest all-encompassing loop in the park is around 10 miles but you can go even further all the way up to Montara Mountain and beyond. I like the like Brooks Fall Loop (2.4 miles) and the Hazelnut and Weiler Ranch Loop (4.6 miles). Brooks Falls is fairly easy with a view of a waterfall in the distance. Keep in mind it only flows after a heavy rain and is rather far away looking through the canyon so you can't hear it flow. Someone with a nice camera lens might be able to get a good close up but otherwise in photos it looks very far away. For a waterfall hike where you can get up close, I'd go to Marin. Parking is $6 and it's cash in an envelope like it's year 2000. I don't understand why they don't have credit card machines because I've been to some other San Mateo parks that have them. The weekends there is a person where you can pay credit card. Lots of manzanita trees, iris, and yellow flower daisies.

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!

It's relatively small, but is quaint and has a great treehouse feeling structure with two slides of different heights. There's also a sand box and a baby swing and a larger seat like swing with straps. This playground is definitely off the beaten path but if you happen to be in the area, it's cute and can provide quite a bit of entertainment for the 5 & under crowd (at least that's who was with me) honestly I am giving it 4 stars for the really cool construction of the tree house, but for what this park offers, it's more like a 3 star park because it's so small (my son got bored in 20 min) and there aren't bathrooms. Some other things to note: - there's only street parking, which isn't much of an issue in that area except for Sunday's which is when a church that's in front of the park holds services. - there's some llamas (or are they alpacas?) across the street that my son loved to look at. He never saw one before and kept moo-ing at them. Lol! - if you walk further down the street you can see Pacifica State Beach and catch a glimpse of the surfers trying to catch some waves. Provided my son a bit of entertainment too.
