Ideally located in Marin County just across the bay from San Francisco, San Rafael offers a wealth of activities for children and teenagers or families as a whole. One popular park is McNear's Beach Park, located just off Point San Pedro near Peacock Gap. This 35-acre park boasts sandy beaches, a fishing pier, an outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts and numerous family picnic areas. The Terra Linda Community Pool in northern San Rafael offers open swimming and lessons for all age groups from April to October. Families with an interest in history will enjoy visiting China Camp State Park on North San Pedro Rd. Formerly a Chinese fishing village, the bayside park offers hiking, horseback riding and biking trails, boat launches, fishing piers, windsurfing and plenty of barbecue pits and picnic tables. Animal loving families will want to visit Wildcare, a rescue center for injured wildlife. Located at 76 Albert Park Lane, the center features one-way glass windows that allow visitors to observe recovering animals and birds without disturbing them. Indoors are hands-on games for children and wildlife displays.¹ Children and teenagers looking for indoor entertainment can visit San Rafael's own little theme park, the Starbase Arcade, or the Country Club Bowl.
