The park is only 3.5 miles west of Highway 84. With barbecue pits, a playground, grassy meadows, and hiking and riding trails, Huddart Park makes a great place to have a picnic or explore a redwood forest. Huddart Park offers numerous trails, some for horseback riding and hiking, and some for hiking only. Trails run along gulches and creeks, others traverse unique hillside habitats and lead you to breathtaking views of the countryside. **The event will take place in the Oak Picnic Area.** **About Our Organizers** **Peninsula Open Space Trust** protects open space on the Peninsula and in the South Bay for the benefit of all.  Since 1977, POST has protected over 87,000 acres in San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz Counties. **Friends of Huddart and Wunderlich Parks** is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the local environment and historic legacies of these two exceptional parks in Woodside, CA.
