I was pleasantly surprised by the Hayward Japanese Garden. It is actually really nice, especially considering that it's free. While on the smaller side, it is definitely bigger than San Mateo's Japanese Garden. It is very close to the highway so very easy and convenient to get to. There are two parking lots: one right off the street for general parking and one closer to the entrance that looked to be all handicapped parking.

My husband grew up in San Lorenzo (as did his father and grandfather). We bought our first home less than a half mile from the house that his father and grandfather built in the 50's. In the short time I have lived here I have come to love this area! We found this museum/society after yelping for a good breakfast place (the cannery). After eating there, we decided to become members and I was fortunate enough to meet with one of their archivists this morning!
