Magic Mountain Playground— San Mateo

Ummm hello giant shiny playground of wonder!

This park is located at Coyote Point Recreation Area and is just one of many of the fun things this Rec Area offers.

The play area is broken into two sections. One is gated and the other is not. The gated side has bucket swings and a chair swing, a crawling tube, a spring balance platform, a balance beam, ride on rocking toys, a giant purple dragon head, a short climbing structure that looks like a cracked egg, and another structure that looks like a rock arch, and two slides down a hillside. On the open gate side, there are standard and bucket swings, a giant climbing arch, two tubes slides down the hill, monkey bars, and Zipline plus picnic tables with chess/checkerboards.

In the center of it all and accessible from both sides is the two-story castle with a giant tube slide down the center. On the small side of the tower is A ramp to a spiral slide, steps to two slides off the tower, and hiding places underneath. From this side, there isn’t access to the big tube slide.

On the open side, there is another ramp to a spiral slide, a sidewinder slide, a ladder, a spiral staircase to get to the top of the tower, a rope climbing ramp, and a rope obstacle course. The slide was very fun but very with just my jeans. I sat on my jacket and flew down! It has windows periodically so that it isn’t pitch black (that’d make it way too scary). At the top, there is a lookout balcony but most of the siding is solid. It’s good so that kids don’t fall but it’s very hard to see your kids when they’re up there

There are bathrooms nearby. There is a parking lot, but the parking fee is $6. The pay machines are at the front entrance.
