Wildflowers fill the grassland meadows from March to June
Located on the edge of the San Francisco Peninsula suburbia with the coastal Santa Cruz Mountains as a backdrop, Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve is an excellent place to enjoy a variety of terrains and views.
Spring time is a great time to marvel in the wildflower displays of the grassy meadows at the park’s higher elevations. In the summer the park provides shade under the canopy of the oak woodland on the cool east facing slopes.
