Foothill Park is a large open space and park. It has 27 acres to explore. It has three playgrounds that are all different. One even has a "piano" kids will like to play. Two playgrounds are by the parking lot, and another playground is by the street before the parking lot. There are swings at all three playgrounds. There is a huge covered BBQ area with lots and lots of benches. The walking trails are nice and peaceful. The recreation offices are located here, as well as at Rusch Park. You can go and get more information on all the parks, amenities, and recreation happenings. There are bathrooms here as well. The trees are sparse around the playgrounds so in the summer you might want to come when it is cooler in the day. This park has two tennis courts, soccer fields, and bathrooms that are close to the BBQ areas.
