Join the Foster City Parks and Recreation Department the first Wednesday in October and the second Wednesday in May by walking, biking, or rolling to school.

The Foster City Parks and Recreation Department strives to provide a variety of quality special events.  Over the course of the calendar year, the Parks and Recreation Department leads approximately 20 community events, some of which occur on a monthly basis making the grand total of special events nearly 40 per year. No one agency can provide everything for the community. With the support of individuals, local businesses and organizations, we can create community through people, parks, and programs.

Foster City Recreation strives to provide excellent service, exciting programs, and exceptional places! We do this through the use of our three recreation facilities to offer classes and room rentals; 24 community parks that provide a variety of amenities for any occasion; and over 20 special events a year that bring the community together! Click on the images below to learn about the different opportunities you can be involved in,and support, the community.
