Welcome to The Friends of Huddart And Wunderlich Parks
The Friends of Huddart and Wunderlich Parks is a group of park enthusiasts and stewards who provide a wide range of programs and events in two historic redwood parks in the heart of the Bay Area. We lead hikes, provide environmental education, showcase local history, and celebrate the unique horse heritage of San Mateo County.
Activities and Resources for All Ages
Our Organization
The Friends of Huddart and Wunderlich Parks is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the local environment and historical legacies of these two exceptional redwood parks in the heart of the Bay Area. The Friends are a combination of volunteers, donors, paid staff, and board members — all collaborating with the park rangers to preserve and protect these special resources.
Current Events and Initiatives
Saving Local History
Ten years after finishing the Folger Stable restoration project, volunteers are again attempting to preserve another slice of local history that is on the brink of collapse. Help us save one of our local historic places.
2023 Impact Report
Our Impact Report showcases all of the welcoming, inclusive, and engaging nature-based programs we have been able to implement in 2023, thanks to the generous support of our community and donors.
Carriage Room Museum
The Carriage Room Museum at Wunderlich Park highlights the rich history of the estate property and surrounding area. Exhibits include a life-size replica of a blacksmith shop, original 19th-century carriages, and more.
Ranger Residence Rehab
Help us rehabilitate this trailer at Wunderlich Park so a ranger can live onsite. Having a Ranger Residence will enhance visitor and park safety. Onsite rangers can respond to overnight emergencies, potential fires, or emergencies with the horses that live onsite. Ranger Residences provide affordable housing for our hard working rangers and enhances Parks ability to recruit the best staff. An added bonus is that rehabilitating this trailer will make a significant aesthetic improvement to the beautiful Folger Historic District. This work is being done by County Parks staff to ensure that it is an affordable and fast rehabilitation project. Join us today with your designated donation.
