About this app

Welcome to the official San Mateo County Parks app, your guide to enhancing your next visit to one of your 24 local parks.

Get on-the-go access to the essentials, easy-to-use navigation, and exclusive access to self-guided tours on your mobile device. Connect with history and discover nature at local parks across the County.
- Mobile guided tours: Explore at your own pace with interactive self-guided experiences. GPS-triggered stops feature photos, videos, quizzes, and games. Explore on foot, by car, on a bicycle, or hike a trail. Go behind the scenes and learn about the untold stories of your favorite locations.
- Discover new places in your own backyard: use the "near me" feature to get a list of locations listed from closest to furthest from your current position.
- Accessibility: Enjoy in-app accessibility support for screen readers, and content in Spanish and English.
- Available offline: Download the app in advance and use it when you're offline. Download guided tours and use them from anywhere, including locations with no cell service.

By using GPS features, you can see your location on maps, get customized lists, and use GPS-triggered self-guided tours. Continued use of GPS in the background can significantly decrease battery life
