Friends of Bedwell Bayfront Park

Welcome to the Friends of Bedwell Bayfront Park website

NEW

New informative signs!

Three interpretive panels were installed in September 2009 along the walkway of the parking lot near the restrooms.  Designed by good Friend of the park Kathy Switky and installed by the city (thanks, Menlo Park), they use graphics and text to show:

  1. Who Mike Bedwell was and why we wouldn't have our park without him,
  2. How the landfill became a park, and
  3. The natural environments and some of the birds and animals.

The text is in both English and Spanish.

About us

Our Organization

Formed in 2005 to counter the proposal to develop a golf course at Bayfront Park, Friends of Bedwell Bayfront Park also fought the next plan to put playing fields at the park, culminating in the resounding defeat of Measure J in the November, 2006 election. Our goal now is to ensure that Bedwell Bayfront Park receives more permanent protection as open space for "passive" recreation. We would also like to make a few improvements to the park.

Friends of Bedwell Bayfront Park is an officially sponsored project of Acterra.

Friends of Bedwell Bayfront Park is also a member of the Kepler's Community Partners Program. Whenever anyone mentions our name while shopping at Kepler's, they record the transaction and quarterly donate back 5% to us.

Our Mission

The mission of the Friends of Bedwell Bayfront Park is to enhance the unique open space of Bedwell Bayfront Park and to promote it regionally now and for future generations.
