San Carlos Parks & Recreation

Adopt-A-Project is a City-wide volunteer program that enables groups and individuals to assist in the general care and maintenance of public spaces in San Carlos.

Adopt-A-Project helps to provide safe environments and strengthen community image and sense of place.  Our well-maintained public spaces attract and retain businesses and residents.

Areas within the city that can be adopted include:

• Signs
• Landscaped areas
• Public spaces
• Pedestrian zones

Volunteers can help care for their adopted areas in the following ways:

• Cleaning Projects:  signage, planters, sidewalks, litter collection, City creeks, parking plazas
• Planting and Maintenance:  trees, shrubbery, flowers

Have an idea for a long term volunteer project? Let us know by completing this interest form! Learn more by emailing events@cityofsancarlos.org or calling the Parks & Recreation office at (650) 802-4109.

Where are the other beer and wine booths? Booths that are being staffed by sponsors or service groups are on hold right now - there will still be five total pouring locations at the Faire as always! Any shifts that are not filled will be released for sign-ups as they are available. Keep an eye out for email notifications when shifts open up!

San Carlos Day of Service is a one-day celebration of our wonderful city through acts of service and the opportunity to learn more about the community organizations that make San Carlos so special!

We live in a community that is unique in its strong and vibrant identity and pride. The Day of Service grows our sense of community through one day dedicated to giving back. Join our one-day volunteer crew for coffee, snacks, and a fun way to meet new friends!

Thank you for visiting the Youth Sports page! We are so excited in your interest in being involved and coaching a youth basketball or flag football team! 

If you are new to coaching this year, you will need to have a live scan completed to the first game. We will have a mobile live scanning service at the Flag Football and Basketball tryouts free of charge where you can complete this portion of the application process.

Feel free to contact with any questions or concerns about the upcoming season!
