Very nice park. Not too big but not too small. Has nice shady areas in the trees but more open areas as well. Saw many deer which was cool. Not too crowded which is also a plus. Plenty of parking when i went as well

Amazing view of the city from the hill top just minutes away from downtown! A must see!

I hiked through the Sylvan trail with my wife and 5 year old kid. The lady at Park information desk was very helpful and suggested Sylvan trail as we were interested in wild flowers. We started in the afternoon, but didnt feel the heat, as the weather was pleasant and the whole route was covered in shades. It was nice to see a wide variety of wildflowers in their natural habitat. After a hike of 1 mile we were presented with breathtaking view of lush green Meadows, and big patches of wild flowers. My kid also enjoyed his first hike. We would like to come here again.

Beautiful park with some absolutely wonderful trails. Great for all ages. Huge variety of hikes for whatever type of excursion you are looking for.

Im giving this park 2 stars because of the no dogs at all regulation. I used to horseback, ride and hike all over these trails when young WITH my dog. There are plenty of trails here. Couldnt they have one for dogs on leash?

This is a very nice hiking area off of 280 on Edgewood rd. We visited during spring. There were lot of wild flower blooms along the hiking trail. We also saw several deer on our trail. It is a huge area, with several trail options. A great place for hiking and enjoying nature.

Beautiful vistas and loads of wildlife (especially early in the morning)

Another beautiful morning 4 mile hike.

Have come here a few times for casual hiking. Last Sunday we saw 7 deer (including 4 kids), 2 bunnies, and 1 turkey. Sadly, didnt take pictures but it was very cool.

Beautiful park, not that crowded. Saw wildflowers in April.We went at around 2pm on a Sunday. We went up Sylvan trail, on to the ridge, that was full of wildflowers and came down Edgewater trail. It took us about an hour and 45 minutes. The trail gains about 500 ft in under a mile, thats the only strenuous part.There are Parking lots but parking was tight and people were parked on the side of the road too.Dogs are not permitted.

Just a short drive to immerse somewhat into beautiful nature.

A fantastic local hiking park and open space. The trails are all really well maintained and are good for kids. Trails are both open and shaded, and you get views of 280 and the Santa Cruz hills to the west, and Mountain View to the San Mateo bridge to the east. Parking just off Edgewood Road is convenient. The deer were out today on Live Oak trail - see pictures.

Definitely a hiking location! Be prepared with water and snacks.

It has pretty good trails. Lots of poison oak, but still cool

Great trails, beautiful scenery :) loved it, just a couple things- the snakes sign that creeped me out, and poison ivy or oak that mightve been there idk.. thats probably just me lol. Anyways its a great place lots of fun trails and isnt that hard but I think theres harder ones :)Ok byeeeeeeee

Great place to run and hike thats big and small at the same time. Parking lot can get full though during popular hours.

Best in spring when the hills are green and there are wildflowers. The rest of the year is very yellow, very exposed at the top half of the hike and lots of highway 280 car noise. So be aware. But its so close to home that Im a regular.

Hiked here several times, including last weekend with a group. Saw several deer, as usual. It was a beautiful day, mostly overcast. Instead of entering through the main entrance to the park, we entered from Edgewood and Canada, where the park backs up to Filoli, across the street and there is quite a bit of parking. Nice views of the Bay and surrounding cities, at various junctures. The poison oak was just starting to sprout, so not really a problem but Ive seen when it is, a little later in the season.

Great views and a multitude of trails make this big park a Peninsula favorite. Its a great place for running, walking or just having a picnic.

Nice little walking trail!

Lovely little county park with lots of trails, but also lots of poison oak so be wary of your surroundings. There isnt a ton of parking, but it seems to suffice for the amount of visitors this place gets (at least on weekdays, I havent been here on a weekend). There are wild turkeys running around right now which is kind of fun to see.

Edgewood Park has great views of the valley with trails suitable for beginners hiking a few miles, to trail runners looking for tough terrain.Though it looks small, there are lots of routes that meet up in a web-like, sprawling map. We hiked 4 miles without even realizing!

Nice shaded trail toward the middle of the trail. It wasn’t too busy on a weekday afternoon.

Nice place for a short hike or trailruning.

Good place for daily exercise. We visited on Sunday morning walk. Did 2ml trekking. There was different route with different miles posted on entrance. Easy for everyone. We mistakenly ( thanks to google maps) reached different part of this park but fortunately we sited DEER on the way.

Love this park for hiking and would normally give it 5 stars but unfortunately the directional signs are down and people are going in all directions, some with, some without masks. I hope the signs go back up and please if they do abide by them.

This park is dry. Exposed. Steep. Good views at the top, tho

Various ways to access this park. I use Edgewood road between 280 and Canada. Fantastic trails for walking or running. Knolls, hills, views, groves of trees and more. You can go for miles and miles. Fantastic little escape. Awesome place to take in the beauty and tranquility of nature. There has been mountain lions spotted in the past so avoid being on the trails too late. Ive enjoyed the hikes at least a hundred times without an issue. You will be happy you tried this wonderful excursion m!

Edgewood Park is a fairly small hike and picnic area close to both Redwood City and San Carlos. While you dont get fully secluded from the buzz of civilization you can get a decent couple hours of nature without driving too far from those two cities. You can bring kids and expect them to enjoy it too.

Lots of short and easy hiking trails. Great place to see spring wildflowers.

Perfect for a good one hour walk

Good inclines. Limited shade. Start early to avoid

Great local park for a good hike. Close to the city but feels like you are away from it all.

Its easy to hike, views are beautiful.

We did the Edgewood trail loop with our 4 year old son. There were some closures so call up the park before you go. Part of it is shaded and rest is open so advice you to start early morning (also the parking gets full on the weekend) Beautiful wild flowers in the trail.

Good moderate hike.

I enjoyed my trip to this park for a quick hike. Hit the sylvan trail as I was pressed for time, and it was a nice easy hike with good views. Id definitely comeback to explore the other trails and even the learning center which is open 3 days a week.

I really enjoy this park. There are a series of loops so I can do a short or longer hike. Great for trail running

Always a great place to hike and relax :)

Great location, views and trails

Nice place to hike. The views of the bay area are beautiful. Some hills but nothing an active grandma cant handle with a few rest stops.

Scenic views of the bay! Neat preserve with free parking.

This is a great for an hike. Some part has shade some not.

Great hiking place with lots of live oak, deer, winding trails, and a fantastic sunset trail to watch the sunset. Lots of poison oak, but that’s common at every Bay Area hiking spot. Good spot for mushroom spotting, too!

My favorite little county park. Great place for a hike or trail run. Plenty of trail options and a few spots with nice views.

Edgewood Park is a gem. Beautiful views, little foot traffic, and nice diversity of trail terrain, forest, grassland. My family calls it the nature park and its a great way to get a little exercise on the weekends. It also connects with Canada Road, for easy access from 280.

Wonderful place for walk I love it

It’s good place for pregnant women. I hope mybaby can come on time~

This is the perfect after work hike if you only have an hour but still want to get away from the concrete jungle. Follow the trail markers and stay on the trail.

Great place for a hike. Go out on a wild flower walk..

Good place for a brisk or leisurely stroll.

Beautiful & peaceful scenery. Theres numerous trails that you can take and theres a part where you can see the city. I really enjoyed hiking here. I was able to find parking when I arrived, but theres not a lot of parking space overall. Theres also a bathroom located at the base of Edgewood park.

A great place for a short or long hike. Its not flat but most of the slopes are pretty gradual so its a great place for people of all levels!

Love coming here for a quick trail run.

Currently theyre resurfacing the trails. Wider and smoother sure makes them nice.

Nice hiking area..!!

Gorgeous wildflowers. Well maintained trails. Clean bathrooms!

Conveniently located off of 280. Well maintained, easy to moderate trails, some with tree cover some open. Pretty views.

Great spot for a free day hike to stretch the legs.

Great park and hikes with a solid couple hours of hiking available. Great greenery. Watch out for abundant poison oak lining the trails in shaded areas.

Nice easy walks and you can come across deer.

Nice trail. Around 3 miles, take 1 to 2 hours to finish depending on your style. Great for morning hike.

Long narrow trails, lots of shade and wildlife. Dogs arent allowed, horses only up to some trails - we entered from the Edgewood road, walked for around 1 hour. On top of the hill youll find a scenic spot with a view on Redwood city and the bay.

Nice trail, looks beautiful, varied environment so not boring, nice park for leisurely walking...

This is the place to come for wildflowers. They are everywhere, especially in the larger meadows. The trails meander through wooded areas and open meadows. Youll notice that in many of the wildflower areas there is a presence of serpentine rock. Plenty of parking, and multiple access points to the preserve.

Excellent bay and coastal range views. Resident deer herd and we’ve seen bobcats here too. Keep to the east side to avoid 280 noise and don’t miss spectacular wildflower bloom in season.

Favorite hiking trail

Loved hiking here. Great views and fresh air

Good shady trail, safe for kids

I love to hike here. Many different trails, lots of deers and birds.

March 24th, 2019. Decent number of wildflowers with Indian Warriors being the most predominant. I suspect full bloom will occur in the next few weeks. In general, park is accessible to people of various physical abilities and offers shaded and open area. Friends of Edgewood offers free nature walk... Check them out

Nice park, well maintained. But nothing to write home about.

A great hiking area with multiple miles of trials that range in difficulty. One of my favorite hiking areas on the mid peninsula. Not to crowded during busy hours due to the large size and multiple trials. Would highly recommend.

Tough hiking for young kids, but beautiful and worth it.

What an amazing place to go hiking and sight see crowds arent too bad . Love this place

Beautiful park! Unfortunately very little parking. Cars parked along the street typically block bicycle lane, and police either gives parking tickets ($43 as of March 2019) or tows cars right away. But the park and visitor center are wonderful.

A good place for long forest walking trails. Very good place for those who enjoy solitude.

Great family hiking trails. No dogs allowed, though

Please respect this beautiful place. Ive seen bobcats, coyotes, snakes, voles, tarantulas, velvet ants, deer, quails, hares, all sorts of birds. It has a beautiful view on the bay as well as the hills. In the evening, the fogslide appears in the distance. Its a little jewel.

Beautiful place to have a run with trails for horseback riding, fields of wild flowers, and a cute little visitor center. Beware of ticks!

This is a beautiful park. Tucked away in a valley with hillsides overlooking the bay. Nice trails. The park is heavily used and there is limited parking. Be very careful if you park across the road. Its a dangerous road to cross. There is a lot of poison oak along the trails.

Great hiking trails, amazing native plant communities!

Limited parking. Public restrooms available. A few easy to medium trails to choose from. Plenty of shades.

Excellent for endurance runs!!

Wild flowers are beautiful this time of year also a great walk in the park

Really amazing park. Small waterfalls after the rain on Sylvan Trail. The 2.4m loop is moderate effort. Doable for kids 4+

This park is lovely, but dogs are not allowed

Great combination of sun and shade along the trail. Beautiful views and some wildlife sightings along the way.

A great place for a short hike. Lots of trails of varying difficulty, but nothing too challenging. Wildflowers in spring, a few picnic tables close to the entrance. Beware that parking can be very difficult on the weekend

Best himer versus travel time when coming from mid peninsula. Great views of skyline and bay. Come a little before sunset.

Great spot for short or longer day hikes. Beautiful views, including the Bay. Easy trails.

Loved this place!

Great place for trail running and hiking.

Great trail hiking - short or long hikes. Very limited on parking.

Beautiful area. A couple of trails with some strong uphill. Great views along the way.

Great trails and views! Nice trail layout, but nothing too difficult. Ideal for flower and bird watchers.

Great little preserve for spring wildflower hikes. Tiny parking lot though, so plan accordingly - come outside peak times or be prepared to park on the street and walk over.

Meeting point with Nature aTop.

A nice little park by the freeway, good for a short hike

Its not Yosemite, but it is exceedingly well maintained and the trails are well marked, and the wildflowers are a satisfying yet short 1 mile from the trailhead.
