In the early 1900s, the seashore along Coyote was used as an amusement park - "The Coney Island of the West", but this theme park eventually fell into disuse and was dismantled.
Later in its history, the area was used as a Coast Guard training school. In 1942, San Mateo County acquired the lands and turned it into a park.
