The Friends of Huddart and Wunderlich Parks is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the local environment and historic legacies of two exceptional parks in Woodside, California. The Friends organization encourages environmental awareness and provides educational opportunities for children and adults through community participation in the enjoyment of our parks. Our work is guided by our theme: Hikes, History and Horses. The Friends provide children's hikes in Huddart Park, and at the historic Folger Estate Stable site in Wunderlich Park promotes exhibits, gives guided tours, and assists with school programs. The Friends of Huddart and Wunderlich Parks organization was founded in 1992 and became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 2002. Dedicated to environmental education and land conservation, the early programs of the Friends supported various aspects of park management. In 2008 the Friends raised funds for and directed renovations of the Folger Estate Stable that were completed in 2010. The Folger Estate Historic District includes the main stable, carriage house, blacksmith barn, dairy house and stone walls and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. There are many ways to join the Friends to support our mission. We have ongoing opportunities for volunteers to serve on our board of directors, become a docent at the Carriage House Museum at Folger Estate Stable, lead hikes as part of our Kindergarten Huddart Hikes program, or support field trips to the Folger Estate Stable.
