There is a large grassy area alongside the Shoreline Sailing Lake that is ideal for individual families to bring a blanket and a picnic lunch. Shoreline At Mountain View is an environmental preserve and, therefore, unlike many City parks, does not provide areas for individual or group barbecues, large functions or organized sports. Cuesta and Rengstorff Parks, both located in Mountain View, have picnic areas that can accommodate multi-family get togethers as well as large groups. For more information, visit the Reservations page or call the Shoreline mainline at (650) 903-6392.

The Rengstorff House is open to the public for tours of the historic home on Tuesday, Wednesday and Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Other than those days/hours, the House may be rented for private functions. More information is available by visiting the R House webpages or by calling the Rental Coordinator at (650) 903-6088.
