Bay Meadows

Motherhood is beautiful, but it can also feel incredibly isolating—especially in the early days. You don’t have to do it alone! Whether you’re brand new to town or just craving community, sign up to walk with others at The Mom Walk Collective San Mateo. All moms are welcome—messy buns, spit-up, strollers, and all!

 

How did you discover The Mom Walk Co.?

As a new mom, my social media feeds naturally became filled with all things motherhood, and that’s how I stumbled across The Mom Walk Co.! I saw a post from a walk in another city, was immediately intrigued, and headed straight to the website to learn more.

Can you share a bit about the concept and how membership works?

The Mom Walk Co. was founded by Jamie Eaton, who started it during a really vulnerable chapter of her life—she was newly postpartum and navigating single motherhood. Her doctor encouraged her to get out each day: move her body, get some fresh air, and maybe grab a coffee. That daily walk eventually turned into a beautiful community. Today, The Mom Walk Co. helps moms around the country connect through local walks. Anyone can join—there’s no formal membership process, just register at the link in our Instagram bio!

What inspired you to launch this group in San Mateo?

When my husband returned to work shortly after our son was born, I suddenly found myself home alone, navigating the early days of motherhood. I was starting to get stir crazy. I started with short walks just around my neighborhood and once I was confident enough taking my son out alone, we ventured to downtown! I actually began documenting my daily walks on TikTok, where I have a community of moms all over the country. Hosting a walk in San Mateo felt like a natural next step.

Is this the first Mom Walk in San Mateo? Are there others nearby in the Bay Area?

Yes, this is the first official Mom Walk Co. in San Mateo! But the community is growing—there’s a chapter in Belmont that just launched in May. We’re already planning a joint walk soon, and it’s exciting to see the movement spreading throughout the Peninsula.

What are your 6 favorite walking spots in San Mateo and why?

I live close to downtown San Mateo, so that’s where most of our walks have been over the past 9 months!

• Downtown San Mateo & B Street – My son loves people-watching with me, and I love grabbing a little treat or coffee along the way.
• Central Park San Mateo – It’s beautiful, spacious, and perfect for stroller-friendly strolls.
• The Library – Walking through downtown to the library makes for a fun little outing.

And now that summer’s here, I’m excited to explore: Ryder Park, Coyote Point Park and Seal Point Park!

Do you have any walks scheduled for June?

Yes! Here’s what we have planned for June so far:

• June 5th at 9:30 AM – Meet at downtown San Mateo’s Blue Bottle; we’ll walk through downtown to Central Park.
• June 17th at 9:45 AM – Meet at Backhaus, then walk to the library for Baby Story Time (ages 0–18 months) at 11:00 AM.
• June 20th at 11:30 AM – Location TBD. Stay tuned on Instagram for the announcement!
