    Lions Wayside Park has a long stretch of grass. near the left end is a band stand where Summer concerts are performed from. people can randomly come here and bask in the sun. didn't see any "closed" signs. there's a sprinkling of seating tables thruout the park. there's parking in the area

    Empty describes the former Heritage tree location
    Stefan T.

    Stately, majestic - grand... all these words describe Pleasanton's Heritage tree well - its former site now a sad empty place of mourning thanks to the local city council. The scale of the tree was best appreciated with a person or furry four legged friend in front - this towering tree could make Arnold Schwarzenegger look tiny and insignificant. Today, a particularly warm evening shade from said tree would have been appreciated by all walks of life. Apparently there was some fungus that infected the tree that nobody could see and the tree looked to be in perfect health. Nearby there is a tilted, sick and dying tree that was left standing - and I suppose because of this conspiracies started brewing of parking lots or other motives. So, one branch falls and we cut down 150 years of history. Yeah... I'm no arborist but something just doesn't add up.

    I found this park on TikTok and I'm so happy I did! While the main park was a little crowded, there…read morewere so many other areas of the park you could explore, that really didn't matter. There's a larger park - with a zip line, a little obstacle play structure + slide, swings, and many more activities. There's also a smaller park on the other side that's suitable for younger children. You can also find shaded areas to sit and eat down at. A large grass field to run around or fly a kite. And a trail that goes around the park - perfect for walking, biking, or roller blading. I mentioned earlier that the main park was crowded, but the green area is very quiet and peaceful. I'm considering having one of my kid's birthday party's here. I truly enjoyed it. And I got to try out Mister Softee for the first time - which was parked out front for the day.

There was also an area where there were hammocks, a monument area, and even a community garden. There were also multiple bridges all spread throughout the park. The playground is a great place to bring kids, I loved the amenities they had, such as a jungle playground, zip line, and a giant slide for kids ages 5-12. This is a great place to bring your kids to play, and awesome place to walk your dog. There is a huge field of grass in the center of it all. We also saw cyclists.

They stock trout, catfish, bluegill, and black bass, and have convenient monofilament and fluorocarbon recycling bins. Parking fee is $5 (and plenty of it), as well as fishing, and additional fees if you bring boats here. There is no reception in various areas. It looks like it's a poppin' place for hiking, picnics, and other recreational activities. There is swimming allowed in the main lake only, though it's not the cleanest lake I've seen. The entire park area is quite expansive, that you'll have to drive around to visit everything efficiently. I suppose you can hike, but the road is a bit gravelly, rocky, uneven, and dirty with random poop. If you're walking to some of the fishing docks, you'll have to be careful about trekking up and down the hills with your gear. It could have been the day, but this was one of my least favorite fishing spot around the bay. The fishing docks were whatever, the fish weren't biting, the cleanliness wasn't there, and the trails were annoying. It started hailing/heavy raining randomly on our spot, even though it was going to be a warm afternoon. Also, an otter stole one of our catches. Still, the topography was interesting so I'd be open to coming here again to see if I'm being unappreciative.
