Movie Night, March 26; Online Survey Now through March 28

    San Mateo County Parks is making it easy and fun for park users to share design ideas for Flood County Park’s 2020 Landscape Plan park features in person and online.

    Information gathered during this period of the Realize Flood Park project will guide the development of schematic designs for new and updated park features, including sports and play areas, picnic and gathering areas, historic resources and the park’s urban forest and ecology.  The design options will be presented to the public for comments beginning this summer.

    The park’s Landscape Plan was developed through a series of public meetings that identified the community’s goals and priorities for reinvigorating Flood Park. In 2020, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors approved the Landscape Plan and certified the environmental impact report.

    Flood Park Movie Night – Disney’s “Encanto” Saturday, March 26, 6 p.m.

    Bring an evening picnic, blankets, and chairs for a showing of “Encanto” presented in partnership with the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Activities League. Enjoy free popcorn and enter a raffle drawing for fun prizes.
