Looking for fun ways to keep your family engaged during the San Mateo County’s important shelter-in-place order? Come to our Virtual Recreation Center at www.fostercity.org/virtualrec. Here you will find suggestions and resources to keep you and your family engaged, active, and informed.  Take a virtual fitness or enrichment class, do a Foster City Parks-themed puzzle or game or get information to help you thrive.

Recreation has launched a weekly #FCFunAtHome programming on its social media platforms:

  • Motivate Me Mondays - Based on the Recreation Center’s popular inspirational quote board, an inspirational quote will be written in chalk in a local park.  
  • Trivia Tuesdays - Take our trivia quiz on our social media accounts. Answers will be released 2 hours after posting.
  • Read Aloud Wednesdays - City staff and community members will read children’s stories.
  • Top 5 Thursdays - Learn more about City staff and community members through their Top 5 Lists.  
  • Family Fun Fridays - Staff will share ideas for fun family projects.

Among the virtual events to look forward to, get ready to join the Neighborhood Egg-Venture.  In this Virtual Egg Hunt, families and individuals are invited to decorate paper eggs and display them in their home windows by April 5. Between April 6 and April 12, explore your neighborhood (while practicing social distancing) and count how many eggs you find. To download an egg template or to get more information, visit www.fostercity.org/egghunt2020.

Parks and Recreation #FCFunAtHome programming can be found at www.facebook.com/FosterCityRecreation (you do not need a Facebook profile to access). Do you have ideas for activities or a great resource that you would like to share? Email us at recreation@fostercity.org.
