San Mateo

San Mateo is best known in California for the Japanese Tea Garden in Central Park, designed by Makoto Hagiwara. On the San Francisco Peninsula, the city extends from the edge of San Francisco Bay toward the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Downtown around B Street combines established commercial blocks with restaurants and shops, while its Caltrain station links the community with San Francisco and San Jose. Central Park’s pond, bridges and pagoda make the garden a distinctive cultural landmark in this busy part of the Bay Area.
