After trick or treating, take a walk through our Spooky Boo Trail!  Our Leo Ryan Park hilltop and forest will be haunted, and decorated with spooky Halloween decor. The Spooky Boo  Trail is a paved pathway with a slight incline, but no stairs.  

Foster City Recreation will be hosting Pumpkin decorating contests.  Those who enter the contest will have their pumpkins displayed on the hilltop, and all attendees will be given the chance to vote for their favorites.  Contests spots are limited, and will require pre-registration.   Registrants can register for the decorating (painting, coloring, etc) contest, or can register for the pumpkin carving contest.  All pumpkins must be dropped off at the Recreation Center by Friday, October 29th by 3pm.  Winning pumpkins will be highlighted on our Recreation social media pages,
