Information on Pershing Park Located in the Burlingame Park Neighborhood!
Aug 18th, 2008 by Brendan Aiello
Growing up in San Mateo Park, my mom and dad often took me to Pershing Park located in neighboring Burlingame Park. Pershing Park was actually an old elementary school that got converted into a neighborhood park in the early 80’s (However, I was too young to remember it as a school).
I have so many childhood memories at this park, although; the park I used to play in is not the park you see today. About 5 or 6 years ago they remodeled the park and added some new features, but removed the sand. Instead, they added a new type of rubber ground under the play structures which is safer for kids to play on. While safety padding may not be as fun, at least parents can rest assured that their children are playing in an area that is as safe as possible.
The park is smaller than most local parks but is not to be overlooked. It has a few half-size basketball courts, a backboard style tennis/raquetball wall, a decent sized play structure, and a great size lawn that is pet/dog friendly. The park can get a little crowded on weekends during peak hours. However, if you are able to bring your children to Pershing Park during a weekday, I consider this park to be second to none.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Yours is excellent, lots of good information on the area, nice history and photos. Lots of buyers and sellers (and “landlords”) visit mine, it’s been around for awhile. It’s a good marketing tool, but also a good connector and place to share information!
