About the San Mateo County VHP
The purpose of the Volunteer Horse Patrol is to assist the San Mateo County Parks Department in providing safe and enjoyable trail use for park visitors. The scope of the volunteer activity is to observe and report trail use and conditions while riding horses within county parks, and to inform and assist park visitors. Parks participating in this program include Edgewood Park in Redwood City,Huddart and Wunderlich Parks in Woodside, Pescadero Creek Park in LaHonda, and other county park lands where horses are allowed.
