We are very pleased and proud to announce the release of our book, San Mateo County Parks: A Remarkable Story of Extraordinary Places and the People Who Built Them. Written by noted Peninsula historians, Michael Svanevik and Shirley Burgett, the book is a richly illustrated tour of San Mateo County Parks through the years. From the very first efforts in the 1920's to save the magnificent redwood groves of Memorial County Park to the miles of trails built by dedicated staff to the many volunteer activities of today, our County Parks have benefited from the passion of committed individuals. Their stories are as colorful and diverse as the parks themselves. The parks have been preserved, protected and made accessible for us to enjoy only through the vision and effort of dedicated people. We know you'll enjoy these stories of the people behind the parks.
