Nature and parks
San Mateo Central Park is a very large park on the south side of downtown San Mateo (a good 30 minute walk). If you have kids there is a nice rubber padded playground, a rose garden, a japanese garden, tennis courts, picnic tables with BBQ spaces and lots of green space. During the colder months, the baseball diamond is has an outdoor skating rink. Also it's only a few minutes from all the shops and restaurants of the San Mateo downtown.
