Recreation for Youth & Families
The City of San Mateo Parks and Recreation Department is a great resource for parents looking to enrich their children’s lives. Whatever strikes your child’s fancy, we probably have it. From karate to guitar lessons, we have one of the most comprehensive and diverse offerings on the Peninsula.
While fun is key, it is not our only focus.  Your child can explore new things and expand his horizons in creative, safe and non-competitive environments.
The Parks and Recreation Department has also designed several after-school programs and summer programs that allow your child to learn, have fun and give you peace of mind that she is well-cared for while you are at work.

After-School Programs
For over 20 years, the Building Blocks Preschool Programs have been dedicated
to providing a safe environment for each child to grow emotionally, physically,
socially, and intellectually. Our teachers make a commitment to support families
and children by following Developmentally Appropriate Practices. In our
programs, each child is recognized and respected as an individual, and each
is nurtured and cherished. We strive to embrace your child’s strengths while
helping them build self-confidence and self-esteem. Through this process, our
hope is that your child will leave our programs feeling accomplished and ready
to move on to the next
level of learning
The City of San Mateo is committed to implementing the intent and spirit
of ADA legislation. Those who may need assistance in order to enjoy our
programs should contact the appropriate program director or the main
Recreation office (see City Contacts, page 42) so we may arrange for the
