Confirmed from Foster Village 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.
12 acres with a basketball court, 4 baseball fields, 2 tennis courts & a playground.
What runners say about Foster Village Park
“Kind of run down but they have lots of shaded picnic tables with little grills that look very inviting.”
I have lived up the road from this park since before was there. We have owned 1of the first houses there was a wind mill top of hill for maybe a couple of years. We have Loved this park throughout our lives. We have been here since 1976. Thank You Foster Village for Soooo Many Memories 🙏 ❤️ 💙 😊
Great place to spend time with family and friends. Great basketball and tennis courts, small playground for the kiddos (plus for being covered!!!) Nice redone picnic areas and some added walking paths. Also fun for the furry family members too! 🐕
This is a lovely park with playground, tennis, basketball, a house to rent for parties, and tons of sports fields. Early morning, empty and great for dog walking ( pick up after yourselves, neighbors!)
Nice place to walk your pup. I didn't realize so many people played tennis. It's pretty cool to see the EMS/fire fighters playing tennis on their breaks, but it'd be better if the did so in full gear.
