Sunshine Gardens Neighborhood

Sunshine Gardens is a densely populated, racially diverse middle-class area in northwestern South San Francisco. This neighborhood is bordered on the northwest by Holy Cross Cemetery across from Lawndale Boulevard. It’s bordered on the northeast by San Bruno Mountain State Park across from Hillside Boulevard. Chestnut Avenue serves as its southeast border. It’s bordered on the southwest by the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center across from Mission Road and the South San Francisco Centennial Trail.

At three-quarters of a square mile with 7,000 residents, Sunshine Gardens is a fairly large neighborhood. A moderately sized playground with the unassuming name of Playground Park lies in the center of the neighborhood, but many Sunshine Gardens residents prefer to travel farther to the extraordinarily large San Bruno Mountain State Park.

Although most Silicon Valley residents use San Bruno Mountain State Park for hiking, many Sunshine Gardens residents use it as a very large version of the public parks many communities have. There are a number of picnic sites with tables, barbecue pits, restrooms, and drinking water available for public use. Volleyball and Frisbee courts are on the grounds, and many of the pathways are used by canines and their human companions. Of course, hiking is also available in spades, especially on the routes leading to the top of San Bruno Mountain.

One of the most exciting parts of living in Sunshine Gardens is the habitation of a number of rare birds, plants, and butterflies. Some of these flora and fauna are not found anywhere else in the world except within the 1.5-mile radius around Sunshine Gardens. Montara Manzanita is a flowering shrub growing wild in the backyards of Sunshine Gardens, yet occurs in the wild almost nowhere else. The San Bruno Mountain Manzanita is a close relative of Montara Manzanita that only has six populations other than those in Sunshine Gardens and neighboring San Bruno Mountain State Park.
