Planning a Summer Get Together

Plan Your Next Gathering at Holbrook-Palmer Park!

Whether you're hosting a casual picnic or organizing a large community celebration, the Town of Atherton invites you to make use of its Day Use Permit at beautiful Holbrook-Palmer Park or Special Event Permit programs for a gathering at your home

Day Use Permits

Ideal for small groups and family gatherings, Day Use Permits offer access to the park’s open spaces for recreation, relaxation, and connection. It's the perfect setting for playdates, walking groups, book clubs, or a quiet afternoon under the heritage trees.

How to Apply

Visit Atherton Town website at https://atherton.news/Park-Rentals  or contact the City Manager’s Office directly at (650) 752-0500. Our staff is happy to help guide you through the process.

Let’s keep our park vibrant, welcoming, and well-loved—one celebration at a time.

Events at Your Home

Planning a wedding, fundraiser, corporate event, or seasonal celebration at your home? Special Event Permits—issued by the City Manager’s Office—ensure your event is coordinated with care and aligned with the Town’s commitment to safety and community stewardship. Permit holders enjoy priority scheduling, onsite support, and access to designated facilities tailored to their event needs.

Waste Reduction in Atherton 


By 2030, the Town's goal for reducing landfilled waste is 35% less than 2005 levels. And by 2040, we'll have reduced our waste by 90% of 2005 levels. 

As of 2023, we have surpassed our 2030 reduction goal due to a decrease of ~6,000 tons between 2021 and 2023. To learn more about actual data click here.



Did You Know?


San Mateo County - Office of Sustainability has an upcoming workshop on composting. 

Learn how to turn your food scraps, leaves, and plant cuttings into nutrient-rich compost that helps your garden retain moisture, suppress weeds, and prevent soil erosion, while cutting greenhouse gas emissions. It is rewarding to know you are turning what some consider organic waste into a nutrient rich organic material for your garden.

Date: July 19, 2025

Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Location: Friendship Park, Huntington Ave & Berkshire Ave, Redwood City, CA
