The City is grateful to the nonprofit Friends of Half Moon Bay Parks & Recreation for their support!
This group assists in fundraising and other activities to help ensure that the people of Half Moon Bay and the coastside have access to parks and recreational opportunities.
Learning, fun, fitness, and community are at the center of Half Moon Bay Recreation!
The Half Moon Bay Recreation Department is dedicated to providing a range of recreation programs, services, and opportunities to the entire community, along with parks, trails, and playing fields for your outdoor fun.
Recreation Classes are on hold until further notice.
There’s something fun, affordable, and educational for everyone in the family, year ’round!
The City has a number of parks, playgrounds, and trails for your year ’round use. You can even volunteer to “Adopt-a-Park!” And for the skateboarders in our community, we offer a world-class skate park completed in 2016, located at 535 Kelly Avenue.
The Recreation program also manages several facilities which are available for your parties, meetings, celebrations, and other activities.
Cameras are not the answer. Invasion of privacy. With facial recognition, network storage, drones, and Ring/Nest products, video cameras everywhere are destroying any last semblance of privacy. And for what benefit? Peace of mind? Maybe, maybe not. How many people have been arrested and convicted because of Nest camera footage of an act of porch piracy? Video cameras are lazy, invasive, and not all that effective of a deterrent. Yet another social rubicon we have blown past without a second thought for the supposed benefits of security and of course, profit–never again to regain what was lost: our privacy and dignity.
