Edgewood County Park, The Bill and Jean Lane Education Center, and Friends of Edgewood
Edgewood Park has something for everyone. We are San Mateo County’s only natural preserve with over ten miles of trails and a surprising amount of biodiversity in just 467 acres. Minutes from downtown Redwood City, the park includes precious native grasslands, oak woodlands, and chaparral habitats. The main ridge in the center of the park rises 800 feet in elevation, where hikers are rewarded with spectacular views of Skyline Ridge, Huddart Park, the San Andreas Fault Zone, Crystal Springs Reservoir, and the San Francisco Bay.
The federally threatened Bay checkerspot butterfly once thrived in Edgewood’s native grasslands, but by 2002 it had disappeared. Learn about our efforts to bring this iconic species back!
Join a springtime wildflower walk, a second Sunday bird walk, or a third Saturday family hike. Our docents love to share their incredible park knowledge and answer all your nature questions.
Lead a wildflower walk, share your love of nature with our Junior Explorers, or help out in the Ed Center. If you enjoy gardening, consider working in the native garden, or joining our weekly Weed Warriors.
Our 2019 Spring Wildflower Walks start March 16th! Our expert docents will be leading walks each Saturday and Sunday morning through June 2nd. The walks will start at 10am, so come early to sign-up, space is limited.
