San Mateo County has closed a number of the region's parks and trails to deal with the aftermath of recent weather events.
The county is reporting ongoing flooding, mudslides, downed trees and washed out and debris-covered roads.
Although the forecast for rain has diminished, the impact of ongoing rain has over-saturated the ground in most parks. Downed trees have causing additional damage to park facilities, as well as with road and trail failures. These conditions can present hazards to anyone in the area.
Park crews have been working diligently throughout the week to repair storm damage.

- Cowell-Purisima Trail
