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.

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.

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.

A Gem in Our SSF Community…read more Here's what my little family love about this park: Enhanced Sense of Security: Its proximity to the local police station adds an extra layer of safety, making it a reassuring place for families and individuals alike to relax and enjoy. 2 playgrounds - one for toddlers, the other is 5-12 year old. Abundant Seating Around Play Areas:The playground is surrounded by plenty of seating options, allowing parents and caregivers to comfortably watch over their children while they play. Convenient Parking: The availability of a dedicated parking lot makes accessing the park hassle-free. This is especially appreciated by families with young children and picnic-goers with gear. Accessible Public Bathroom: there's a restroom outside and more inside the recreational area.

The park itself is on the corner of Cherry and Park. Shade: the first thing I look for. The big kid playground is under trees and pretty shaded. There are other spots in the park that offer additional shade for picnics. Just look for the trees. It's a good mix of sun and shade. Playground: there is a little kid playground and big kid structure, on opposite ends of the park. Nothing fancy. Swings! There is also a small area for barbecues, a small basketball court and plenty of green grass to run around. All in all, a humble park, but it's got great shade and grass to run around.

We were given a map at the kiosk and the ranger was super helpful, pointing out easy trails and longer options. My boyfriend and I chose the Quail Trail, which was just over a mile which was perfect for a leisurely stroll. We parked near a playground and a picnic area, and the restrooms were decent. There's plenty of parking, even another lot with great views that we decided to hike to instead. The Quail Trail itself was beautiful and straightforward, even though it was a really hot day and I was definitely sweating! But the views were stunning. Just a heads-up though, we saw some poison oak with reddish leaves, so be careful not to stray off the path. It's a fantastic park, highly recommended, especially if you're planning a picnic.

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!

The toddler play structure is excellent, and I especially love that there is a separate fenced area for the youngest children, which helps keep them safe and prevents them from wandering off.

There's a large grassy area that's perfect for picnics, birthday parties, or simply relaxing. My older kids also love using the open cement area to play volleyball, basketball, and other games.
