I love my walks here along with the Zen vibes near the water, ducks, & walking deck. It is beautifully scenic with the gorgeous trees and landscaping. To admire the beauty of the park you have to stop and enjoy just about every corner, angle & view of this amazing meditative healing park.

Beautiful lakeside park with a beautiful sunset. Summers are perfect to enjoy this park to the fullest, where its cold and windy during winter months. Visited this park in late Aug evening. Fortunately there was Summer Days event ongoing, like a carnival. But despite, just being here and enjoying the calmness of the lake, blue skies that turn amber at sunset time, watching people go by, kids playing in the park, every moment is worth experiencing. Love it!!!!

We came here for the Water Lantern Festival on August 8, 2023. The park is so beautiful, everything was organized so perfectly! we have so much fun! Feel like we were in the movie Tangled.

I can't wait to come back for another events, the only downside is parking is limited. This is definitely my favorite park in Foster City.

Good weather today and the walk was fun. come in the evening and hopefully less people.

A beautiful park to relax. Turquoise water with blue sky makes it an absolute sight. There’s a small walkway around the Central lake. It’s a dog and kid friendly park with a bunch of spots for picnics. There are some good restaurants as well a short drive from this park.

Very nice and quiet place for all ages. It’s also a good spot for kayaking and boating. Big parking lot and clean bathroom make it convenient walking. It’s amazing that we heard several lovely songs by two singers at square of the park. We also saw lots of American coot eating and swimming. Besides there’s a shopping mall opposite the park. So enjoyed at such a beautiful day!

Beautiful park. However, some dog owners are untrained and clueless on the boardwalk with their dogs. I saw a woman today that had the dog leash tied around her waist and standing in the middle of the boardwalk and her dog was jumping around unrestrained in the middle of the boardwalk. I was walking my German Shepherd and simply stepped away until that woman with her dog passed by. Looks like that woman needs training on how to walk the dog in public places. Other than that, it’s a beautiful place.

Very neat n clean peaceful place to visit

So happy to discover this park! Fairly clean, great space, and very peaceful. Great place for picnic with family and plenty other activities including pedal boats.

Wonderful park. Nice views and good sidewalk.

Beautiful park, if you have never been there, go check it out.

Love the park specially under the California’s colorful sky as presented in the pics. It’s surrounded by a lake with gorgeous sunsets looking upon the city. It’s has a beautiful waking path around the lake, benches to sit, grasslands to lie down on a perfect sunny day and many more. I used to visit this park everyday when I lived in Foster City. Beautiful park in a wonderful city. 🙂

The place is sooooo nice . quiet .good for work ..kids can play around but there is not any playground around.the place .very good place for relaxing and enjoy the water

On July 4th, this is a great place to eat dinner from a variety of food trucks and then have a great view of the fireworks.

It was beautiful and peaceful. I love everything about it - the blue waters, the rose bushes around the park, the white and blue houses in the backdrop. There's lots of places to sit. There are some picnic tables and a small ampitheater.

Went for Holi Celebration today 03-20 22. Perfect location, beautiful vibes, and very well maintained. Would be a great choice for any event. Had a really great time to last a memory of a lifetime.

This is one of my favorite places to go for a short walk. Majority of the time the weather is great. Parking can be hard to find on the weekends. They do hold events here once in a while as seen in the photo and Parking is almost impossible.

This park was really fun to play at and enjoy over our weekend. The pickle ball courts we're perfect for our needs and we were able to play together using the facilities. There's a skate park attached in the surrounding area where lots of kids were skating on scooters and skateboards. There were lots of dogs and people walking up and down the trail along the water. It is so picturesque at any time of the day but especially during sunset. This place was great!

Very nice little park. Occasionally hosts rowing competitions as well.
