Redwood City is a city on the San Francisco Peninsula in Northern California's Bay Area, approximately 27 miles (43 km) south of San Francisco, and 24 miles (39 km) northwest of San Jose. Redwood City's history spans its earliest inhabitation by the Ohlone people to being a port for lumber and other goods. The county seat of San Mateo County, it is the home of several technology companies such as Box, Informatica, Oracle, Evernote, Wealthfront, and Electronic Arts. At the 2010 census, the city had a population of 76,815. The Port of Redwood City is the only deepwater port on San Francisco Bay south of San Francisco.

Malibu Grand Prix's previous location is currently the construction site of a new additional Jail and Inmate housing facility.

We went to Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve. There are nice views of the hills and distant views of Pacific Ocean. Its a good place for a hike and enjoying the views. There is also a tribute to Audrey C. Rust, who was the President of the Peninsula Open Space and helped to get much of this land available for public use.

I’ve been going to Edgewood park for 25 year. They have made wonderful improvements with the nature center and trail maintenance. However the main drawback is parking. Because it’s become so popular, folks often have to park on the street.
