The Redwood City Parks & Recreation & Community Services office will be hosting another community session to speak with residents of Redwood Shores about plans for a new playground space being considered for the area near the Redwood Shores Branch Library.
The Redwood City Parks & Recreation & Community Services office will be hosting on Thursday one of a regular series of pop-up community events to speak with residents of Redwood Shores about updates to the general plan. Specifically on the docket is a new playground being considered for the area near the Redwood Shores Brand Library.
Those who have opinions, suggestions, or just interest for this project, set your calendar and drop in to chat with City of Redwood City representatives about Shores play spaces.
Want to know what’s happening here in the Shores? Come out to the Redwood Shores Annual Community Meeting, hosted by RSCA, and get the latest update on “The State of the Shores”.
(*NOTE: Past Annual Meetings have been held at our local Redwood Shores Library, but the event has outgrown this space! To make more room for attendees, speakers, and guests, the 2024 meeting will be at the Sandpiper Community Center, adjacent to Sandpiper School. Please make note of the change.)
Get out and get fit! Redwood Shores is home to a brand new Fitness Court, located near the Redwood Shores Library. This state-of-the-art outdoor gym caters to all fitness levels, featuring easy-to-use equipment with on-site instructions accessible via QR codes or an app for personalized workouts.
A planned dedication event was to take place on January 20th, but due to inclement weather, it has been postponed. In lieu of this, the Redwood City Parks & Recreation Department will be holding a pop-up discussion opportunity inside the Library from 11am to 1pm to share ideas and listen to your feedback on outdoor play space planning in Redwood Shores.
2023 is in full swing, and it is already February, which means it is time for the Redwood Shores Community Association (RSCA) Annual Community Meeting. After a few years of having the meeting via Zoom for safety and other concerns, we finally are able to have this event in person with community of Redwood Shores.
Wednesday, February 8th, 2022 at 6:30-8pm,
at the Redwood Shores Library.
You’re invited to Redwood Shores Community Association’s Annual Meeting
on Wednesday, February 2nd, 2022 at 7-9pm.
This meeting will be held online only (not a hybrid meeting as originally planned).

To our Community,
The entire Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Team would like to express how our hearts and thoughts are with each of you as the situation with coronavirus (COVID-19) escalates. We are diligently working to slow the spread of the virus in our community by following the continued guidance of all county and state officials as this fast-moving pandemic unfolds worldwide. We are doing our best to make the necessary changes to our operations, while being conscious of our community needs as it affects our most vulnerable.
While we have already cancelled and postponed a number of classes, programs, events, rentals, services, and more, we are expanding by closing a number of our facilities beginning Monday, March 16 through March 31. We will continually reassess the extension of closures and provide updated information. Our primary focus will be supporting essential services through senior food distributions, safety net services, homeless support services, and human service information and referral services.
We understand that these closures and cancellations create a hardship, and we thank you for your understanding through this unprecedented time.
Classes & Programs
Online registration is open 24/7 for Summer Camps as well as classes that begin after April 12. Classes from April 12 to May 31 will be assessed as information changes.

It’s finally time again to play in the park! Redwood Shores’ Marlin Park has been under construction for a few weeks, but at last it is finished and ready to be opened to the public.
The all-new Marlin Park playground had its grand re-opening on Saturday August 4th, where residents were able to celebrate the renovation of Redwood Shores’ central park and be amongst the first to enjoy the new playground and facilities.
Marlin Park’s playground is now open for play, so come on out and see what’s new to do.
We’re getting very close to initiating the Marlin Park Playground Renovation Project. The contractor has been selected and we are working on a timeline, finalizing orders and delivery dates for equipment, and gearing up.
Up-to-date information on the project’s development and contracting is stored on the Redwood City website at www.redwoodcity.org/marlinpark . Door hangers notifying residents who live within 400 feet of the park will be placed by the contractor within the next two weeks.
