San Mateo County Park Prescription (Rx) Program is part of a national initiative to promote spending time in nature to improve health and well-being. Time spent in nature benefits your physical health:

• Reduces blood pressure and headaches
• Promotes overall health and well-being
• Promotes faster healing time
• Lowers Stress

And improves your emotional health:

• Increases academic performance and productivity
• Improves mood and behavior
• Reduces mental fatigue, anger, and frustration

Explore the outdoors anytime. Join your community in one of the many open spaces in our area or ask your health care provider for a Park Prescription today.
