Called the City of Good Living, San Carlos still tries to maintain the small town feel even as the population grows every year. To maintain the hometown feel, many of the townspeople spend a lot of free their time in the 16 gorgeous parks fishing, swimming, picnicking, playing ball, or whatever else they like to do.
Although you may want to take your kids to the park or walk your dog, sometimes you just don’t feel up to it. At times like these, you should talk to one of the committed therapists in San Carlos. They can be very helpful at times like these.
