Memorial Park’s historic campgrounds, which have been closed since October 2019 for improvements, will welcome back campers in late May, some of whom will get to enjoy brand new restroom, shower and water fountain facilities.
The popular camping spot in Loma Mar is undergoing the first phase of upgrades that will continue over the next three years, when Memorial Park celebrates its 100-year anniversary in July 2024.
The first phase has included the installation of new accessible restroom and shower buildings with accessible water fountains, along with infrastructure improvements that include a new wastewater treatment plant and collection system, which are near completion, according to the San Mateo County Parks Department.
“Campers with reservations in Sequoia, Redwood and Tan Oak areas will be the first to experience the improvements when they arrive beginning late May,” County officials said.
By 2024, officials hope to have a total of 21 restroom and combination restroom/shower buildings installed.
Memorial Park was dedicated on July 4, 1924 and all 300 campsites were full that evening. Memorial Park currently has 141 campsites and served 57,000 campers during the 2019 camping season.
