My children refer to this park as "The Castle Park". It has two awesome, age appropriate playground fixtures for younger and older kids. There is plenty to climb, crawl through and slide down. There are also numerous benches for parents to sit.
Like the others before have mentioned, there are tennis courts, a basketball court and soccer fields. The bathroom has always been clean when I have gone there. The covered area for picnics is very large and very busy on sunny days and weekends.
If you are looking for a little something for everyone, this is the place. -

The children's play areas are not fenced in, but they are set back enough that you can keep an eye on your kids without too much worry. This is a nice big park that many in the community enjoy.Listed in: Park Rundown - Where to take…

During our first Boothbay visit this weekend, my 3 and 5 year olds were blown away by the cool playground structure complete with climbing wall, plastic rock face and slides of varying speed. If we lived a little nearer by, we'd be here all the time.
The covered picnic area also served as a great base camp for the birthday party we attended -- convenient to the parking lots, relatively close to both fields and playgrounds, and yet off-street enough to ease your parental concerns about little ones running off.
Cool suburban park. -

I think Boothbay is the nicest park in Foster City. It has a new children's playground, baseball field, basketball court, multiple tennis courts, and beach volleyball area (sand is a bit rough, though). Boothbay has a nice covered picnic area, as well as picnic tables in the surrounding areas with a few barbecue grills, too. Also, the restrooms are nicer than those at other public parks- real toilets, not portable ones.
At 7 AM a group of dog walkers walks around the park's trail, off-leash. If I had a dog, I would totally join them because they all seem so nice. I joined them once, with my auntie and her rottweiler. :)
A little later, around 8 or 9AM, you can find a handful of older Chinese men and women exercising. They practice non-martial Tai Chi, I think. -

Yes, a great park. However, there are a number of steps near the playscape that claim injury to children on a weekly basis. On the weekends there are many events with soccer teams (practice, games) as well as regular players of cricket on the large expanse of grass right off Boothbay Drive. Kids love this park and it it wasn't for the hazard with the steps it would rate a full 5 stars.

They allow dogs off leash early in the mornings. I think it's between 7-8am. It's a great way to get a walk in and let the dogs run around, play and get exercise. My dog has lots of fun coming here. Most, if not all, dog owners do clean up after their pets, so you don't have to worry about stepping in dog poop. For families, it has a playground with sand, lots of grassy areas, baseball field and tennis courts. If you want to have a party, they offer covered picnic tables and barbeques.

This park has four decent tennis courts, but they're not lighted. The courts are adequately spaced. The two middle courts are laid out slightly offset from the two outer courts.

i live close to the this park and pretty much grew up here. theres a lot of memories held here. i played some of my baseball games here and had a lot of practices here. also had some soccer practices here as well. the grass is very green and it has a huge open land. i learned how to ride a bike at this park. also has some good tennis courts that are fun to play during a nice day as well as one full basketball court and a sand volleyball court which is very hard and not forgiving. the jungle gym is decent. not the biggest out there but sufficient. i broke my arm on the monkey bars when i was younger. theres a picnic area with a covering for the rain and some bbq pits. i walk my dog here everyday. she loves sniffing the grass and playing in the open field. you can let your dogs off leash in the morning from 5-8am. however, some owners let them off leash at other times too. just keep your dogs under control! but at least the owners all clean up after their dogs so theres not really any dog poop. a lot of parties get thrown here on the weekend, seeing lots of those bouncy houses for little kids.
when it gets dark, it gets super creepy. theres no lights except the ones for the bathroom which is barely lit.
