Parks & Recreation
So many parks.  So little time.
The East Bay Regional Park system, spanning 96,000 acres across Alameda and Contra Costa Counties, provides over 65 parks and 29 regional inter-park trails. Boating, swimming, windsurfing and fishing are a stone’s throw away at Shadow Cliffs Park in Pleasanton, and Del Valle Park in Livermore. Facilities include BBQ sites, boat launches, fishing license purchase and roped-off swimming areas. There are excellent hiking, horse riding and off-road cycling opportunities, from a gentle stroll through Sycamore Grove in Livermore, to a hike through the wilderness at Sunol Regional Park.

Try out a 21-mile, cross-country bike ride from Dublin to Martinez, or traverse up a mountain like Augustin Bernal Park in Pleasanton, standing at 1,600 feet. If you like a challenge, try Mount Diablo (“Devil’s Mountain”), gazing down from 3,849 feet. You will be well rewarded at the top with an outstanding view of the surrounding East Bay Area.

Naturalists will love to explore the local fauna and flora, including the endangered red-legged frog, eagles, hawks, coyotes, rattlesnakes, and occasionally the elusive mountain lion. Rangers are happy to answer any questions and there are always great classes for kids.
