The Folger Stable was built in 1905 by James A. Folger II of the Folgers Coffee Family. It is listed on the National Registrar of Historic Places and was designed by Arthur Brown, Jr., famed for his work on several San Francisco landmarks including Coit Tower, the Ferry Building, and City Hall.
Due to its historic nature, pristine setting and equestrian roots the Friends of Huddart and Wunderlich Parks in conjunction with San Mateo County Parks and Recreation initiated a rennovation project for Folger Stable in 2002. It took eight years to complete, but the rennovation was a huge success and now Folger Stable is the premiere public boarding facility in the San Francisco Bay Area. Please drop by and see the fabulous work yourself!
This park was once a part of the Folger family estate and was donated to San Mateo County in 1974 by its last private owner, Martin Wunderlich. With a 17 mile system of well maintained trails for hiking, riding and running it is the perfect setting for Bay Area Equestrian Connection's Riding and Boarding programs. The park is perfect for horseback riding as there are no dogs or bicycles allowed.
