    Please keep The Garden and adjoining rec center there. We need preservation. SIP should reward all properties with value. We appreciate the heritage.  more »

    Local favorite. Got married here and love strolling through regularly. Hours are little short and they close on some holidays, but that make sense as (I think) there is just one gardener taking care.....  more »

    I nice respite from a populated corner of San Mateo. Go during off hours (no during lunch, maybe 3-5pm) for a bit more access to personal time and space. I saw a couple people napping on benches (non-homeless). Looks like a really cozy area on a nice day.

    Love this place. As a photographer it's great for photoshoots. Kids love the fish and during seasonal times you can feed them!
