Information on Foothills Park (PA)

Foothills Park is part of the City of Palo Alto's park system. It is the only PA park which requires proof of citizenship to get in. There are many fine picnic spots, as well as a trail system to hike into the surrounding hills on. Some fine overlooks provide views of Silcon Valley. You can often see deer grazing in the main meadow, while bobcats are not hard to see in surrounding areas.
