Parks and Recreation

The Parks Maintenance Division is seeking proposals for pruning, trimming, removing, chipping, stump grinding and haul off debris in City parks and medians as identified in the scope of work in the Request for Proposals linked below.

Who doesn’t love a good mystery?  We’re closing out National Parks and Recreation Month with a Clue-style Scavenger Hunt.  Grab your cohort of aspiring sleuths and see if your team/family has what it takes to find out who committed the “crime”, how they did it, and where they took the victim! This FREE event will require you to travel (we recommend biking) throughout Foster City solving riddles and puzzles along the way.  After you have collected and examined all the evidence, you will be able to successfully solve the crime.

Join Chabot Space & Science Center's astronomers on Facebook Live at 9:30pm from the observation deck!

The astronomers will guide you through spectacular night sky viewing through Nellie, Chabot‘s most powerful telescope.
