Children will whoosh down a new slide that towers two stories above Junipero Serra County Park during the dedication of a playground on Monday, April 20.
The 23-foot tall, 54-foot long slide is the crowning feature of the newly renovated Meadow View Playground. The dedication takes place Monday at 11:30 a.m. at the park, located at 1801 Crystal Springs Road, San Bruno.
The newly renovated playground also features a large cable-net play structure, a smaller climbing apparatus and climbing boulders — amenities appropriate for children ages 5 to 12.

The playground has been enlarged to include a slide, climbing structure and spring riders appropriate for children between 2 and 5 years old. A rubberized surface area of 6,000 feet provides a safe play environment.
Positioned near the top of the park, Meadow View playground offers sweeping views of the Bay. Visitors can also watch landings and take-offs at San Francisco International Airport. The nearby Buckeye and Meadow View picnic areas and the Bay View Shelter are favorite spots for group celebrations and picnics.
Construction began May 2008 and was completed in February of this year. Rains have delayed the opening.
The project was funded through the County of San Mateo and California Department of Parks and Recreation Propositions 12 ("Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2000”) and 40 ("California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2002”). These are State bond acts that address park infrastructure needs. The project cost was $690,780.
