    Nice little park. Scenic view of San Francisco airport. It has got small gentle trails with picnic area. You can reserve and have small outdoor party with barbecue pits. Trail has got play area closed currently with volunteers helping maintain the park. Be careful with poison oak on the trails.

    Nice park for a little hike. There are a few different loop trails you can take. It feels like you’re deep in the woods, when you’re actually in central San Bruno.

    really nice facility with tranquil and clearly marked trail heads. nothing intense, but makes for a really enjoyable stroll on a quiet saturday afternoon. not too many people about and people were good about wearing masks and keeping distance. there is a parking fee, but it looked like not everyone paid?

    Wonderful views from the hillside park - also an enormous, impressive two-lane metal slide for kids to fly down (be careful of the speed for littles!). Always super clean, well-maintained, bathrooms on site. Parking is a little expensive ($6.25 as of Feb 2022) especially if you're not planning to stay too long.

    Junipero Serra park is a beautiful little getaway with stunning bay views, meadows, oak groves and redwood trees. The hiking trails are great and there is an awesome playground and picnic areas. The big slides are closed right now - it is very long and steep and a lot of fun so hopefully they reopen it soon. Restrooms are clean for a park and well maintained - they close at 4:00. Very dog friendly with dogs allowed on leash throughout the park.

    Short trail with nice amount of shade. Good views of the bay and the airport. A lot of noise from the nearby highway, so not very peaceful.

    My group had a nice covered picnic area, and the bathroom facilities were clean. Big Slide closed. Nice views of airport to watch the planes land and takeoff 🛫.

    Awesome place to get a fun little hike in and to enjoy the stunning view of the city. 😊 The park ranger I spoke to was nice as well. There's a lot of steep paths, so if not in a good condition that's something to keel in mind!

    Dog friendly, great for daily 45min walk up and around the trail. Careful not to allow the pup in the poison oak though. Well taken care of park in general. Nice park rangers.

    It's a nice place to go solo hiking and trail running. It's very quiet and peaceful. Usually I only run into 0-3 persons if I go on a week day morning. You can get a nice view on the trails too. All trails are very nicely maintained and marked.

    Great for dogs playing and humans hammocking. The side I visited has a pavilion with tables so it could potentially be great for a barbecue. Overall no complaints, I will explore it more again soon!

    Great little local county park with some nice short hikes and great facilities for picnics and parties. It also has a couple of great playground areas for the kiddos and some nice bay views from the top of the hill.

    We picnicked at the drop-in picnic area near the upper playground, which has several play structures, two huge slides, & a swingset. We all appreciated how clean & well-kept the area is, plus the chainlink fence adds a level of safety for children. Amazing views, lovely environment. LOTS of pine & eucalyptus so the air smells wonderful! There are many nice walking trails to explore, too.

    Not only a nice place to take the kids. But also a place where you can go to sit relax and enjoy the scenery. Sometimes I go there to meditate or just be alone. You can see SFO and watch the airplane land and take off without the noise. I also hike. I start at the bottom from Christal spring park and walk up you can take two or three trails that are available. Just remember to take a walking stick because they are warning signs of cougar in the area. I never encountered one, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
