I met a co-worker and her family here today to watch her son's little league game. It's the first…read moretime I've been to a little league game in Clayton, and my first time at this park. I spent a little bit of time on the playground with her daughter in between her son's innings at-bat. There are a few fields here and they all had games taking place while we were there. A private parking lot at the top of the hill has lots of parking, and there are also spots on the side of the road leading up the hill, and near the park at the bottom when you turn onto Regency Drive from Marsh Creek. The fields were nice and in good condition. The playground was also really neat, and had a play area for 2-5 year olds separate from the one for children a little bit older (who can play unassisted). There are several tables and shaded areas, and also paths that lead to the open space. I used the women's restroom and sadly a small, injured bird lay writhing in pain and flopping around one of the stalls. I didn't even know what to do about this, except go home sad, with a heavy heart for this hurting animal. As we drove away, (I swear this happened), like a scene from the nature channel, a hawk swooped down and grabbed a different bird, and it screeched in fear and pain, fought the hawk, but was eventually carried off for dinner. It made me want to bring the other bird out of the stall where it was dying and let nature "take it's course" but I drove off instead, not being able to bring myself to pull the scared creature outside it's concrete tomb. Aside from the uniquely sad scene I witnessed in the bathroom, this is a really cool community park.

My family and I enjoyed a concert at The Grove during our recent trip to the Bay Area, and we were…read morestruck by just how lovely this park is. My husband's grandparents live in Clayton and regularly attend the concerts; we can see why. The Grove has lots of shade and is in the middle of downtown Clayton, surrounded by some restaurants and stores. There's a large convenience store nearby, in case you need a few items or drinks to round out your picnic. The grass was well maintained. There's a path around the space, so that you don't have to worry about walking through people, like if a concert is happening. The bathrooms were reasonably clean with baby changing tables. And there wasn't a bad seat for the concert. Still, though, my husband's grandfather did head over to the park early to set up chairs and save our space. That didn't appear to follow the rules on the signs, but he was far from alone in doing this. All in all, this park and its musical programming were great for enjoying a beautiful summer evening.

I'm not going to lie, most if not all are pretty challenging especially the Mitchell Creek to Diablo Summit. That is a 14 mile hike and it will kick your butt for sure. I must be crazy because I love getting my butt kicked by this mountain LOL. We keep coming back for more. The elevation is no joke as there are numerous inclines and declines. Theres hardly any shade so make sure you sublnscreen up and stay hydrated. The views are absolutely stunning. Strenuous hike but the views are worth every ache and pain. Enjoy the views. There is parking but there's a $6 dollar fee (not bad). Parking lot is open at 8am until sunset. There are bathrooms. The ladies room is clean for the most part. As clean as it's gonna get at a park. I absolutely recommend this mountain if you are looking for some challenging trails to hike.

This by far was one of the hardest trails I've ever hiked. The incline is insane! The entire trail…read morewas uphill, I was breathless. But the views the entire time made me just as choked up. It costs $10 to get into the park, gates open at 8AM. There's a 12 mile hike, loops the site. And an 8 mile hike to the Summit (round trip). At the top there's a museum inside which has an exhibit and gift shop. I got a cute T-shirt for $18, they also had a showing of the history behind the summit and how it came to be. We saw a couple deers, baby coyote, various species of birds, lizards, and butterflies. During this time of year, majority of the trail was dead. I rarely saw any hikers, mostly bikers! Most visitors drove up to the summit for pictures and views. The hardest part was definitely going up to the summit! We cut our time by half on the way back down. It was steep, so we temple ran our way down. Really fun! I highly recommend going early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the heat. Not a beginner friendly hike! Challenging. Trails not shaded. Park rangers are very friendly. Maps are also provided at entrance.

Newhall Park is a large, neighborhood park not far from where I live. It has many things to…read morerecommend it, and yet it has been ages since I've been there - maybe I'm guilty of the "grass is always greener" syndrome. But finally, my wife and I returned on the recent Sunday and were reacquainted with all it has to offer. It's a good park for walking: there's a flat, dirt path that circles the park; I didn't measure it, but it's a decent length, especially if you make multiple rounds. Along the way you see the park has a large bocce ball court, a popular dog park, and a good sized hill for cardio purposes with the Concord Vietnam Memorial on the top. A weekend adult soccer game was going on in the middle of the field. On the other side of the park is a pond (we saw an egret, ducks and geese), and a marsh-like area with tons of cattails. Galindo Creek, heavily shaded with trees, borders the edge of the park. A number of benches let you take a break when you need it from your walk. Newhall Park is a little rough around the edges visually. There's none of the graceful elegance of a Walnut Creek Larkey Park, with its paved path, lush green grass and stately trees. Newhall's grassy areas are functional, but look beat up with numerous dead spots (maybe blame the soccer). The walking path is hard dirt, but can be messy after a rain. The parking lot also is unpaved, and is in poor condition with bumps and holes. We noticed a number of cars parked along Turtle Creek Road prior to the park entrance. But these are minor concerns. In the uber-populated East Bay, any park is a welcome break from wall-to-wall homes, stores and concrete. Newhall Park is an easy way to get out and breathe the fresh air, and deserves the popularity it enjoys. That Walnut Creek park may have greener grass, but sometimes that park down the street is all we need.

It's perfect especially for those who live in the area and have pets to walk. I've l seen lots of families walking around and hanging out in the park, and also kids playing sports (soccer, volleyball, etc.). It has a good playground there too. But what I like the most about this park is it provides complimentary doggie bags to encourage dog walkers to help keep the park clean. It also provides plenty of trash cans for use. My dog seems super happy whenever she's at this park - the grass looks healthy, some trees look well grown and huge, which tells me they're watered and taken care of well. I also feel safe walking around this park during the day.

It's very popular with dog walkers but not much to see in terms of flowers or landscaped scenary. Lots of trees that look wind blown and tired. There's a warning about coyotes. This is supposed to be coyote territory so I was scared to venture beyond the busier main area to explore. There's also a small community garden nearby but it's locked up and you can't enter it but it's super small so you can see pretty much everything from the outside of the fence. A bit of a sad park. I recommended Blake Garden in Kensington which has very limited hours but there's so much more to see there and it's also free.
