I'm writing an updated review now that we have a second dog and take her here for more often…read more What I wrote in my prior review still stands. This dog park is all dirt and gravel, one of my dogs doesn't like that much on her paws, and it's also terrible for their teeth to be chewing on chuck-it balls with a layer of dirt covered. The dirt + the dog's saliva makes the balls like sandpaper, grinding down dog's teeth. This dog park should be covered with grass like the neighboring field, or at least artificial grass. The grassy field right next to the dog park is such a waste. Why isn't it part of the dog park? I see dogs play on there anyway. It should just be fenced off for dogs only. My second pup comes here regularly. She doesn't mind the dirt and gravel, and she also doesn't play fetch, so this place suits her. She just comes here to play with other dogs and to socialize. In balance, I guess this dog park does its job and is better than nothing. But definitely has room for improvement (like the grass). On the upside, this is the cleanest dog park I've seen. People pick up after their dogs. Hardly any poop. All the dogs are well-trained. Owners are responsible. I've never seen a dog fight here.

Cipriani dog park is a convenient place but also made up of dirt gravel that can do a number on your dog's paws of they are runner. Many owners use the large grass field that's part of the school but it does come with a risk of a fine There are some nice people that go there with their well behaved dogs but there's always that one guy who ruins it for everyone else. I stopped going because of this one owner who has become belligerent and continues to bring his dog who has attacked other dogs and people. The owner has made threatening comments to me and others. He's the type of person you never want to run into anywhere. My suggestion is if you want to go to this park, avoid him and his dog and go after work where many really nice owners congregate with their dogs and behave like adults.

I try to get Little Sweets out of the house once in a while to see new things. My aunt still has his sister and he can get lonely - he copes by playing video games in his bedroom and he can't stand my spoiled cat MrMoose with his demanding SCREAMmeows all day. Its time to get him out of the house. Let him sniff something. Lots of dogs here for him to sniff. They can do some sniff swapping or flea swapping or whatever they do - I don't mind - he is on some good flea control stuff. The fenced area is safe for roaming and decorated in small metal dog shapes. Near is the waterway. It is pleasant. This city has more waterways than I ever knew existed. From a look on the map all manmade. There is a larger park nearby too. All of this is under larger power lines. I think that is good use of land space. Not much more could go under here.... but my friend Johnny would tell you not to spend too much time here because of EMF or something or another.

Love that it is partially turfed up so that the dogs can play without getting too dirty. Alot of dog owners are very courteous about rinsing the area with the designated water spout for when their dog poops or pees on the turf. Good amount of benches, but not enough coverage around the park since the sun can get pretty strong in Foster City.

I tried it w/ Sadie and gave me the look are you for real, Mom? Lol Overall it was a great 3 miles workout for us rookies as it's been awhile since we took our dogs out for a hike!

We will definitely come back again once it's open! 4/5 stars for the closure and only one restroom made available at the parking lot (I also did not see a water bottle/fountain filling station) Parking: There's a free parking lot (fits ~20 cars) and ample street parking if it's filled. I recommend coming on a week day to secure a parking spot Easy Trail: the cordilleras trail is wheelchair and stroller friendly! It's a 0.3 mile flat trail that breaks off into other trails leading to the dog park or towards the creek. This trail is paved, so no worries about bumpy roads or muddy patches Moderate Trail: the blue oak trail has a steep incline immediately at the start of the hike. It zig zags and is a ~200 ft elevation increase for 0.4 miles. It gets dusty but is doable due to the many trees for shade. It leads directly to the off leash dog area

Once you get to the hill to climb up to the top, the elevation picks up very quickly. If you plan on going to the top (and coming back down) to enjoy the panoramic views from the city to the ocean, I highly recommend proper hiking shoes and walking sticks. Along some of the paths, make sure to watch out for poison oak on both sides so take it slow. All in all, well worth the exercise and very fun experience! Lots of parking on the street outside too!
