Confirmed from Foster 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.
Public green space featuring picnic areas, baseball and basketball courts, plus playgrounds. Walking trails are also on hand, and concerts are staged regularly.
What runners say about Foster Park
“Absolutely gorgeous park - no matter what the season or weather.”
Absolutely gorgeous park - no matter what the season or weather...plenty of beauty to see, and very handicap accessible. Check out the giant whale or the walk bridge over the river! Plenty of parking and plenty to do!
This is a great city park to have small concerts at. Several kids play areas, tennis, skate area and just walking distance from the city pool. Theirs a small strip mall area across the street.
Attended a free concert over the weekend at the Art Pavilion in the park. Parking is at the opposite end of where the the pavilion is, but it offers a pleasant walk through the park.
Nice playground for kids a skate park, tennis courts, pickle ball courts and more. We have been here for multiple free community concerts throughout the years. There have been several community events that we have also attended throughout the years. The Preforming Arts Pavilion is awesome for this community.
