After picking up some lunch, we needed a place to sit and eat because we had the dog with us. We…read morepassed by Farragut Park and it looked relatively clean and neat. I drove around a few blocks to get back to the park and parked in near some picnic tables. Once we finished lunch, we walked the dog around the park. We have a poop bag container attached to each of our leashes, but it was nice that the park had a dispenser. The one thing that was missing was that the water fountain did not have a spigot at doggy level. People were friendly and returned our greetings. Before returning to our vehicle, we took advantage of the restroom which was clean. We noticed as we were leaving that numerous other people were beginning their walks with their dogs at the park.

One of my favorite parks - small, beautiful grounds , shade - one of the key things I look for in a…read morepark. COVID: there is a limit on the number of people who can be in the playground Shade: The park has trees for multiple areas for shade. You can easily put down a picnic in the shade. The playground itself has shade sail things that cover the structure itself. In the snack area, there are adult tables and kid tables and offers a little bit of shade there. Playground: it's not a big playground, but has a nice play structure and swings. Sandbox area. All in all, a nice, quiet park and has easily become one of my favorites to bring the kids.

This park is humongous and slightly tucked in to a residential part of Foster City, but there's…read morelike no one here, and I've played Pokemon Go so I know. According to the fact sheet, this area is 11.2 acres. There's just large amounts of lawn where you can have an isolated picnic, and it's a fairly long stroll for a neighborhood park. It's cool that it runs next to a mini creek, closer to the residential houses. For sports, there are areas for sand volleyball, basketball, tennis (four courts), soccer, and baseball (which looked well maintained, with bleachers). There's a large playground with tanbark and picnic tables. There is an additional covered pavilion (technically you need to contact a city official to reserve this) with picnic tables and small coal barbecue pits, though they looked pretty rusty and dirty. Next to these tables is this amphitheater-like section. Parking is somewhat in a small lot, but there's street parking all over the perimeter that's readily available. The bathroom size is above average, for a neighborhood park. The main park in Foster City is superior, but this park is not bad if you want more seclusion, in some sense. It's right next to a highly trafficked road, but expansive enough to accommodate many parties without bumping into each other.

Boy compared to what I grew up with, these Foster City parks are where its at to play tennis. To…read moregive some background, I have played tennis on courts with cracks, torn nets and blown out bulbs. All of the Foster City parks seem to not have these kinds of problems. Everything appears to be checked and kept up to standard. My doubles partner has said that I have become more boujee every since I started playing in Foster City. Surrounding the two tennis courts there is a beach volleyball area. Sometimes sand creeps up onto the tennis courts due to the wind. Adjacent to the tennis courts is one full court for basketball with lights also! I have never seen this before. There is a little playground next to the basketball court. Lastly, there is a huge soccer field that always seems to have games going on. What I think is crazy is that the Foster City lagoons/canals are right there. I just always wondered what would happen if a soccer ball gets kicked into the water and/or how often. Back to the tennis courts, my only gripe is that typically there is a warning light to tell you when to hit the light button. For whatever reason - the bulb is probably blown - we didn't get the warning and the lights turned off on us. Therefore, to solve this solution, my doubles partner and I hit the button ever 30-45 minutes, sooner than later to be safe. The picture I added shows when the lights went out on us, although it does look pretty. This is my go to court. The only other court I really enjoy playing on is on Edgewater, but this court has league play on Tuesdays and Thursdays which can be a pain to plan.

Gated playground more for kids 5+. Nearby tennis courts, volleyball courts, soccer field and views…read moreof the water. Downside is that there is no shade.

This has become one of my favorite places to kayak. Last year we purchased an inflatable tandem…read morekayak and have been exploring different waterways in the peninsula. Parkside is awesome, they have clean bathrooms with a changing room. I can't recall if they have showers? There is a boat launch area...wahoo! Okay now the real talk, because this park is so amazing, parking fills up quickly. Many families come out here for BBQs and to just have their kids play on the playground or in the water. There is a ranger station onsite, they come out once and a while to check on the area. Heck they even manage the water via boat, we were told that we had kayaked into a private waters? We didn't know? Oh well! Despite some challenges, we are in love with this park. It's truly a gem. It's all free, you bring what you need to have fun.

In the residential neighborhoods across the lagoon there is a long walking path, which offer a view of this park. My sister-in-law told us about the boat rentals available there. It would be a pleasant area to be out on the water. There are numerous birds enjoying the space. We saw 7 white pelicans, which I didn't know existed in that coloration. Similar in size to swans, they definitely had pelican-like beaks. Maybe they are a different species? It was a beautiful place to walk and enjoy the vistas. I'm sure it would be fun to go boating and check out the other facilities at the park.
