Coyote Point Recreation Area is one of 18 parks protected, preserved, and enhanced by the San Mateo County Division of Parks. Once an island in the San Francisco Bay, Coyote Point’s 149 acres now support distinctive stands of eucalyptus and Monterey cypress, and its remnant salt marsh, beach promenade, marina, and breakwater provide habitat for a number of native shorebirds and songbirds. Coyote Point also offers a wide variety of water-based recreational opportunities and walking trails for observing and enjoying wildlife.
Projects at the location will include:
- Refurbishing handicap accessible ramp and deck at historic Captain’s House
- Native planting, mulching and removal of nonnative plant species
- General clean-up of tree and plant debris
- Removal of broken and rotted lumber used as a border and replacement with new redwood lumber
- Shoreline clean-up and removal of nonnative plant species at Coyote Point Marina
Note: After the service project, a special tour will be offered at CuriOdyssey, a museum for environmental education that connects children and families with the natural world through interactive science exhibits and up close encounters with native California animals. CuriOdyssey is part of the Recreation Area.
