What an awesome venue for a grad party! We recently rented the entire facility for a party of…read moreabout 100 people. The entire facility holds up to 200 people and contains a full kitchen, courtyard, billiards tables, ping pong table, air hockey table and more. The cost for Foster City residents is $156 per hour and non-residents is $208 per hour. You can rent part of the center for a lower cost as well. We had food catered in and was able to keep most of the trays warm in the oven while we served some of them. We scheduled a walkthrough a few days before the party and provided details on how we wanted the tables to be set-up. Parking is plenty as this center is where Leo J Ryan Park is. This venue is going to be one of the top on our list of venues for future party/gathering needs.

Now the area is infested with RATS! and pigeons! I was walking here everyday between 6 & 7am until the pigeon/rat feeding got underway. I was very angry when I saw what was happening. I yelled to him, Are you feeding these birds? Had to say it twice. He told me it was none of my business. I told him, you are messing with eco-system out here! I said I am reporting you. He drove his SUV right at me, stopped it just in front of me!! I moved to the side and told him we didn't have a rat problem til you started throwing food everywhere!!! He flipped me off and reversed out of there. I've reported him to Foster City Police and Wildlife, Fish & Game, They directed me to Parks & Rec..which has not done anything about it. It's been weeks of this that I know about...very sad and dangerous for this park and the bay wildlife. :( Google says: Pigeon droppings can expose humans to many diseases, including salmonella, Newcastle disease, candidiasis, encephalitis, orthosis, and toxoplasmosis. In addition, they can also carry cryptococcosis, and coccidiodomycosis, which cause meningitis.

I highly recommend it.

Michael Turner at Edgewater Marina goes above and beyond, even on a Sunday…read moreEight years ago, we bought our Duffy 22 from Michael -- and that purchase turned out to be the beginning of a relationship with someone who genuinely cares about his customers long after the sale. After leaving our boat untouched for six months, I ran into battery issues the day we needed it for a gathering with friends. I hit a wall troubleshooting online and took a chance calling Michael on a Sunday. Not only did he invite me to come by, but he already had the cables I needed waiting when I arrived. Rather than simply ringing up the sale, he walked me through the fix, explained the risks, and made sure I knew what to watch out for. When I discovered the damage was worse than expected -- acid corrosion on additional cables -- Michael had already left for the day, but still called into the shop so his colleagues could get me what I needed. He also answered my text messages asking him more questions. Thanks to him, we had a wonderful cruise with our friends that afternoon. It's genuinely reassuring to know that a knowledgeable, generous Duffy dealer is nearby -- not just when you're buying, but whenever you need real help.

The Shoreline Park towards the Foster City side, has a bridge to observe wildlife refuge. This is where I spend most of my time especially, during the summer months to watch and observe wildlife. But more importantly, I sit there to zen, reflect, remain still and quiet; all awhile rejuvenating my sense of balance. I recommend coming here if you need to decompress and try to experience a moment of stillness. You might just discover another world of yourself that you didn't know existed. Cheers!

I had to update my review. I still stand by the quality which is what begets the 2 stars. They're…read moreclean and well maintained. However I thought their practices around the fee structure were extremely shady. First of all, for a community center you charge a crazy amount. It's meant to be accessible and not an elite club which is what this has turned into. A name change should be well in order if they're not serving the community they belong to. Please note they are a non profit organization. Secondly they will charge you an arm and a leg for classes and membership, they will update your pricing and not give you notice. I think the fact that they don't list their prices on their website are true testament to my statement. I dropped my membership as it stopped being worth the $500 I was paying for me and the kids per month (only one of my kids was doing swim lessons) their swim classes helped for a little and then the teachers were replaced with new ones who didn't care much about the students. I ended up quitting and unless their pricing is more transparent and less elitist I'd rather drive a little bit longer.
