Confirmed from Bridgeview Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Informal park with picnic tables and public restrooms on a trail overlooking the bay and San Mateo Bridge.
What runners say about Bridgeview Park
“It's a small park with a few parking spaces and a nice clean bathroom for walkers and cylists and all Bay Trail visitors.”
“There is a beautiful walkway where you can go on the inside of it where the bay side is or the outside of it where the houses are.”
“Part of the Bay trail which is great for strolling, running or pedaling bikes.”
Great trail for families. My kids love it. The best parts are easy parking on the street, clean restroom and no cars. Make sure bring your jackets. Will come back again to bike all the way to SF Airport
Great to ride bike or walk or run Perfect place.. it doesn't matter the time. Day or night 👍
Nice park, and I'll update the review once the path to the bay trail has reopened, but currently there isn't much of a reason to visit unless you want picnic tables in a park with limited landscaping where no one else is present. Which is actually kind of useful and nice, but not usually what you want.
Not really a park but rather a parking lot to get to some of the best parts of the Bay Trail in Foster City. Right at the foot of the 92 bridge, the park gives an option to walk along the Foster City coast or head up to Coyote Point. Typically clear views. Lot's of runners and cyclists.
