The Park provides a restful alternative to hotel or restaurant sites, enabling companies or other groups to plan their own events and catering. Whether the goal is to motivate employees, honor an outstanding executive or visiting dignitary, or picnic with friends and families, Holbrook Palmer Park will convey the right impression. Organizations using the facilites have a wide range of catering options open to them from elegant catered affairs to deli sandwiches or "pot luck" dinners.

An ideal location for off-site meetings and corporate banquets, Holbrook-Palmer Park provides the secluded atmosphere of a country estate within one hour's drive of most Bay Area locations. Park personnel will assist by providing a list of meeting planners, caterers, and suppliers of audio-visual and other equipment needs. Serene views of the oak and elm studded park create an atmosphere conducive to creative thinking. During breaks, conference participants can enjoy the gardens and view the historic buildings.

Extensive patios and lawn areas expand the facilities and are used during most of the year. Picnics, dinner dances, receptions, birthday parties and other social gatherings take on a special flair when held in a park setting. Soccer, football, frisbee, baseball, kite flying and other sports add to the fun of a Holbrook-Palmer Park event.

Holbrook-Palmer Park is located between Middlefield Road and El Camino Real at 150 Watkins Avenue. From the Bayshore Highway 101, take the Marsh Road-Atherton Exit.
