Redwood Shores Community Association (RSCA) has served Shores residents, businesses and visitors for over 50 years.  As our anniversary approaches, we are building a database of historical information to celebrate the uniqueness of our community.

Take the Redwood Shores Historic Walk

To help you learn more about Redwood Shores’ past and present, RSCA created a Historic Walk that takes you to various scenic and historic spots in the neighborhood. This self-guided two-mile walk is accessible by foot or bicycle (or car, although not every spot has available parking.)

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.

Add Your Story to the History Archive

RSCA also invites residents to contribute to the Redwood Shores History Archive. You can provide historical details or photos about your HOA, or share memories from years spent living, working or visiting Redwood Shores.
