This large community center, tucked inside Martin Luther King Park, is one of several managed by the San Mateo Parks and Recreation Department. It features plenty of field space, a giant assembly room with a stage and full kitchen, a dance studio, two other meeting rooms (all four spaces can be rented) and an Olympic-size swimming pool at the adjacent King Swim Center. City residents, most especially youth, are welcome any time during normal business hours. Be sure to watch for special holiday events.
