July is Parks and Recreation Month

Since 1985, the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) has designated the month of July as Parks and Recreation Month.  Now that summer has arrived, the Foster City Parks and Recreation Department encourages you to check out the many parks and recreation opportunities available for the entire family!  Come enjoy participating in the many free special events, such as a Summer Concert, the weekly mobile food truck marketplace through Off the Grid, or the Community Bike Ride.

Family Games

Join the Foster City Parks and Recreation Department's Summer Camp Staff for an afternoon of fun family games! All family members are welcomed and encouraged to participate in some of our favorite games like Potato Sack Races and a Watermelon Eating Contest.  Join us in the Leo Ryan Park Meadow from 1:30pm-2:30pm!
