Recreation services

Recreation programs

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.

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. 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.
