Park Improvement Projects

The City of Redwood City recognizes the importance that parks play in people’s lives.  Parks provide:

• Access to the serenity and inspiration of nature
• Outdoor space to play and exercise
• A place for self-directed and organized recreation
• Positive alternatives
• Activities that facilitate social connections and human development

Parks enrich our lives, they add value to our homes and neighborhoods, and help connect the entire community.  The following are investments that City is making to reach that end:

	Mezes Park Renovation IN PROGRESS Mezes Park: English Flyer | Spanish Flyer construction began February 11, 2013. The park will be clozed during renovation and parking around the perimeter of the park will be restricted. The tennis courts will remain open; however, they may require occasional temporary closure. Major improvements to look forward to include: New restroom, New, safer pathways, new play equipment and pedestrian lights. Mezes Park is expected to re-open this Summer. Thank you for your patience during the renovation!
