A Hidden San Carlos Treasure: Arguello Park

July 10, 2007

Living here in the middle of Silicon Valley, with its fast pace of life, its love affair with technology, and its high cost of living, it’s easy to forget that there is a lot of nature around to be enjoyed. On Sunday I went for a walk with some friends in Arguello Park in San Carlos. I’ve driven past many times, but never stopped to just enjoy it. It’s surprisingly large, considering it’s completely surrounded by homes.
A discrete sign marks the way on Wellington, just off San Carlos Ave.

Though it was a hazy day, the Stanford steeple was visible in the distance.
