Redwood Shores Historic Walk
Reply
Explore your neighborhood and learn about the history of our community with the Redwood Shores Historic Walk!
To help you learn more about Redwood Shores’ past and present, the Redwood Shores Community Association created a Historic Walk that takes you to various scenic and historic spots in the neighborhood. This two-mile walk is accessible by foot or bicycle (or car, if you would just need to get out for a quick cruise.)
You can log into the Redwood Shores Historic Walk link for Google Maps on your phone and take the tour with your mobile device. This digital, guided map will take you through each of the nine spots marked as relevant to the history of the Shores. At each point, you will find a short history lesson as well as archival photos which help tell of how Redwood Shores developed. There are also a few “Bonus Views” of spots to explore if you’re feeling like stretching your legs even further.

On select weekends of the year, you can also look for signboards marking these points of interest for Redwood Shores. Nine signboards in total mark the various points on Bridge Parkway, Marine Parkway, Marlin Park, Davit Lane, and Shell Parkway.
Printed copies of the Redwood Shores Historic Walk are often available at the Redwood Shores Branch Library.
The Redwood Shores Historic Walk was originally created for the 40th Anniversary Celebration of the establishment of Redwood Shores in 2010 … which means, Redwood Shores is now over 50 years years old! Come review the history of Redwood Shores dating back five decades.
Since 1970 RSCA has been THE advocate on issues that impact the quality of life in Redwood Shores. From early controversies over where Shores children would go to school, to the recent levee crisis with its potential effect on local property values, RSCA has been the primary voice of the Shores community.
As we begin our fifth decade, RSCA continues its efforts to keep the Shores a great place to live and work.
