Edgewood Park has long been a springtime destination for wildflower-lovers, who feast their eyes on the colorful flowers that enliven the hills and meadows of the preserve, located just off Interstate 280 and Edgewood Road, near Redwood City.
The county park and designated natural preserve comprises 467 acres of grasslands, chaparral, coastal scrub regions and foothill woodlands. Serpentine soil on 160 of its acres nurtures native plants that don’t thrive in most other environments.
On Saturdays and Sundays through mid-June, volunteer docents lead free hikes from 10 a.m. to about 1 p.m. Depending on what’s in bloom at the time, hikers can see flowers ranging from Indian warrior, owl’s clover and lupine to fairy lanterns, Ithuriel’s spears, farewell-to-springs, and shooting stars.
Hikers are advised to bring water, a hat, sturdy shoes, sunscreen, and a snack, if desired.
