Recreation Fee Assistance


Did you know? The Parks & Recreation Department offers a generous Recreation Fee Assistance program for residents of City of San Mateo who qualify. This assistance is available to discount the daily lunch fee or many of the hundreds of classes and programs offered by the department.

We also offer lunches at Martin Luther King (MLK) Community Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays at noon for a suggested donation of $4.00, for those 60+ years old, $7.50 for those age 59 and under. Lunch reservations are requested; walk-ins will be accommodated if availability permits. No eligible individual will be denied participation because of failure or inability to contribute.

This program receives financial support from the Older Americans Act.
