    • Bay Meadows Park (page 2)
  • What are your priorities for a recreation facility at Bay Meadows Park? Please allocate the dots to your top priorities.
    • FITNESS (1)
    • Other - Open Green Space - Leave Bay Meadows Park as is. I would also consider a dog park enclosure, but that would take up very little of the available open space. (5)
  • What are your perspectives as relate to the relationship between the Recreation Facility and the surrounding park?

    I'd be curious to understand the role that Nueva plays in funding and maintaining the facility. Assuming they will use the space as they use the park grounds today.

    The wetland garden area is pretty unusable space, and it would make sense to turn that into open picnic tables under covered trees.

  • What is your vision for a recreation facility at Bay Meadows Park?

    I had never considered that there would be an indoor facility at Bay Meadows Park. One of the draws to this part of San Mateo was that there was wide open space that was untouched and available for public use. I love it just as it is.

    Anything that happens in terms of adding facilities that create additional congestion should also include underground parking. We should not under any circumstance give up open green space for concrete parking lots.

    I have a deep concern for the parking and traffic problems that already exist with AYSO and soccer activities going on there - the drivers park in the red, make U-turns everywhere, and honestly are not looking out for other drivers and pedestrians. They are just looking for their kids as they are in motion. It's very dangerous.

    • Joinville Center (page 3)
  • What are your priorities for a new multi-service Joinville Center to replace Joinville Pool? Please allocate the dots to your top priorities.
    • AQUATICS (6)
  • What are your perspectives as relate to the relationship between a new Community Center that replaces Joinville Pool and the surrounding park? If necessary to accomplish your Recreation Facility priorities, would you support expanding the Recreation Facility size? Please discuss your perspectives.

    The existing aquatics facilities should be retrofitted so they are safe for the public to use. This should be a priority above all else.

  • What is your vision for a new multi-service Joinville Center?
    No response.
  • Please select the next community center you are interested in providing feedback for:
    • Martin Luther King Jr Center (page 4)
  • What are your priorities for King Center? Please allocate the dots to your top priorities.
    • Other - Spend the money to upgrade facilities so they are safe for the public to use. (6)
  • What are your perspectives as relate to the relationship between the Recreation Facility and the surrounding park? If necessary to accomplish your Recreation Facility priorities, would you support expanding the Recreation Facility size? Please discuss your perspectives.

    My guess would be that 47 spaces is not enough for the surrounding community to remain unimpacted by the influx of visitors. A picnic area would be nice... outdoor gathering space.

    If the city of san mateo is going to be in the business of offering preschool facilities and services, they should be to the standard that CA puts forth for large daycare facilities. If not, then they should use the space for other things or tear it down and build a great outdoor park an playground for the community.

Speak Up San Mateo! has two participation channels:

  • The Registered Channel: Sign in before or just after you submit your response. Either way, Community Feedback will show your response on this website.
  • The Unregistered Channel: Don't sign in and remain anonymous. Community Feedback will just share your response with San Mateo staff.

Note: The first time you sign in, you'll need to register (establish an account on Speak Up San Mateo!). Registration is free.

The City of San Mateo has contracted with Community Feedback to monitor responses shown on this website.

  • To prevent any single user from dominating the forum, the City of San Mateo restricts the number of responses any one user can post on selected topics. Registration helps Community Feedback enforce this restriction.
  • Users, staff and government leaders often want to know the neighborhood from which a response is posted. Community Feedback uses registration to show the neighborhood next to each response (not the address).
  • If a user posts a response that does not meet the City of San Mateo guidelines for civility, Community Feedback uses the user's email address to invite the user to resolve the issue.

Community Feedback will get your contact information. The company is under contract with the City of San Mateo to hold it in strict confidence per their privacy policy.

  • Since you'll see your own response on Speak Up San Mateo!, you'll be able to confirm that your response was posted as you intended.
  • You'll be able to change and/or delete your response as long as the topic is open.

Yes. Sign out, then set your privacy preference to be "No - just show it without my name to staff". You won't need to register.

While no authentication procedure can perfectly detect every fraudulent registration, Community Feedback is able to secure the registered channel against systematic fraud: cases where users submit enough statements with fraudulent registrations to sway the overall interpretation of the feedback.

Community Feedback is unable to secure the unregistered channel against systematic fraud, because unregistered users are anonymous.

Neither the registered nor the unregistered channel represent a certified voting system or ballot box - and that caveat is footnoted on every page of feedback. Instead, both are additional channels for feedback to government.

Users can participate on the registered channel (by signing in) or on the unregistered channel (by remaining anonymous). The City of San Mateo offers both channels in order to broaden participation and maximize decision makers' insights.

The registered channel enables users to assure decision makers that their feedback comes from a real person in a specific neighborhood. It also enables users to participate in a public discussion on the website, as well as manage their own response after posting it.

The unregistered channel is for users who want to provide quick feedback without registering, and/or whose privacy concerns would prevent them from participating if required to register. Because many users with valuable insights will only share them anonymously, this channel gives decision makers the option to consider those insights in their deliberations.
