I love that there are amazing trails within walking distance of my home in San Carlos. My favorite is Eaton Park. The Kiwanis has recently adopted the park and put in new trails and trail maps. There is now a wonderful loop that you can take from the Eaton Avenue entrance.
We have a dog who also loves to walk and Eaton Park allows dogs on leashes on the trail. They even provide baggies at the entrance so that you can conveniently collect any "gifts" your pet may leave on the trail. If everyone follows the rules - it works out great!
It's a wonderful hike that will take you to the top of the hill to an amazing vista and even over wooden bridges and tree shaded areas. If you have not tried it yet, I would strongly recommend it.
Happy trails to you!

  Shakespeare in the Park 2013 (website) Saturday, August 10, 17 & 24 • 7:30pm Sunday, August 11, 18 & 25 • 2:00pm Sequoia High School Campus (map) Celebrating its 31st year, San Francisco Shakespeare Festival brings its performance of “Macbeth” to Downtown Redwood City for 3 weekends in August! Kenneth Kelleher returns to direct Macbeth. Generally regarded as one of the Bard’s major tragedies (along with Hamlet, Othello, and King Lear), this is the first time SF Shakes has produced it for Free Shakespeare in the Park. Macbeth is memorable for its suspenseful plot and thrilling scenes of witchcraft and swordplay. Audiences will recognize Macbeth’s famous soliloquies, including “Is this a dagger which I see before me?” and “Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow”, as well as the witches’ rhymes “Double double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble”, which have become an ingrained part of English-speaking culture. Shakespeare in the Park will offer 3 evening shows on Saturdays and 3 afternoon shows on Sundays while providing an opportunity for everyone to see high quality, professional theater in the relaxing setting of Sequoia Campus, free of charge. Free Shakespeare in the Park began in 1983, with its debut production of The Tempest in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. It is now one of the major free Shakespeare programs in the nation. Free Shakespeare in the Park provides an opportunity for everyone to see high quality, professional theater at no cost. |
