Foster City Parks Master Plan

The Foster City’s Parks System consists of 24 parks, eight miles of levee pedway, and various other public open spaces. Despite continuous maintenance and improvements, many of the City’s parks are aging, requiring renewed attention to park infrastructure to ensure the parks system remains relevant and continues to meet resident needs now and in the future.

The Parks & Recreation Department has launched a Park Master Plan to guide the development, maintenance, and funding of the community’s parks and recreational facilities and programs for decades to come. The Department is leading this planning effort with the help of a consultant team to facilitate the project and write the plan.

Public workshop, community pop-up event, and online survey results

In June and July 2025, feedback on the Parks Master Plan recommendations was gathered through three engagement opportunities: a workshop held on June 18 at the Vibe Teen Center; two pop-up events at the July 4 celebration and the “Off the Grid” food and music event on July 9; and an online survey available on the City’s website between July 2 and July 27. In total, approximately 375 people provided feedback.

At this stage, public input was needed to refine the Plan’s proposed guidelines and policies, park standards, and recommended park improvements. Each engagement activity yielded valuable feedback, which will help shape and improve the final Master Plan recommendations. See the community engagement results.
