    I can't say it's the most exciting trail but a decent trail when the flowers are in bloom. It's a fairly easy hike at that.

    Went hiking at Tassajara Ridge Trail. Lupine (yellow and blue) were giving a stunning display at two areas along the trail. One area is very accessible near Longleaf Clr entrance. The other (even more impressive along hills) closer to the water tank area round the top of the loop. Cattles were grazing everywhere but they were friendly.

    The boyfriend was looking for a hiking trail in the area and came across this one. We decided to come on afternoon hike on a Sunday last month. This hiking trail has lots of open space. The trail was enjoyable to walk, it was easy. We also enjoyed the views too.

    Fairly nice local place for a hike. We went during the summer, very dry. You get to see cows up close along the trail. Can get windy as you go up the hill deeper into the trail.

    Great place to be. Open, private parking lot with a good amount of parking spots. Dog park located close by. Main attraction is the trail that leads up to the mountains. Beautiful spot to sit back, and enjoy the beautiful environment of San Ramon. Absolutely stunning view of sunset / sunrise. Has a path, not a trail to hike up, and explore. Watch out for the cows!

    If you are looking for a quiet hike - place to be; though as others have said quite a lot cows graze nearby and in the area - sometimes they purposefully stand on your way to say Hi - many of us are simply to busy to Moo Moo and have to choose alternate paths. Hike has some parts that are decent grade - for example if you take the first left after starting - you will be treated to an earthen walkway where you can go really high up (not rock climbing or anything but just very steep grade). Those are fun - very very quiet - at least when we went it was - I plan to hike here regularly so will report back. Just being away from cars and noise is an amazing feeling.

    I live in Windemere (housing development in San Ramon with tons of houses) and bike, hike and run through the surrounding hills on a daily basis. The Tassajara Ridge Staging Area is part of my 15-20 mile mountain biking loop regimen (I run there occasionally too.) It is an amazing open space - miles of cow pasture open space with a continuous five mile fire road/trail up and down the hills. There are lots of cows, coyotes, deer, birds of prey and even a badger sighting! Oh, and I can't forget the burrowing owls - super cool! There is a really nice dog park at the Tassajara Ridge parking area - my dogs love to run around and meet up with much larger dogs there. What a cool place to have in my neighborhood - FIVE STARS!

    Amazingly easy & fun trail! I was able to easily take my double BOB stroller up and down the terrain.

    The dirt path can be uneven at times, so please be careful and yes, watch out for cow dung.

    This is a great little dog park in a central residential location. There is plenty of street…read moreparking available and the small dog area is much larger than a typical small dog area at a dog park. The park seems well maintained and there are a number of benches. They also have a nice grassy area as well as a cemented section so your dog has options depending on their preferences or the weather. There is shade and sun and the area and other patrons were welcoming and quiet. Our dog had a lovely time sniffing about and we enjoyed gazing at the beautiful spring blossoms. We will definitely return.

    Okay. I admit it. We cheated. We're sorry and we don't do it again. Promise…read more We were out and about with our 3-year-old Shiba Inu. We had picked up some lunch and were looking for someplace that we could eat it. I searched for a Dog Park on my GPS and it brought me to this park. After I parked, we walked by the gate and saw that it was limited to small dogs 20lbs and under. There was no one using the park. We walked down the street where we had seen some picnic tables and had our lunch there. Our Shiba just sat there patiently waiting for us. She did score a few small pieces of oxtail and that may have helped keep her on point. While we ate, we kept an eye on the park. No one used it while we were eating. When we were done, I took a calculated risk and took her into the park. We chased around for a few minutes and then it was time to leave. One woman walked by with a small dog, and I asked her if she wanted to bring her dog into the park and we would leave. She basically laughed at me and said no. I found out later that the large dog park was across town, so we'll have to look for that one next time.

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.

    Beautiful hike in the Spring, and a bit hot and dusty in the Summer…read more Be aware, there are many ticks here in the Spring. I went hiking with my friends here in April, and both their dogs had tons of ticks crawling around in their fur. If you are hiking without dogs, tuck your pants or leggings into your socks and avoid the taller grass if you can. You can also spray tick repellent on your shoes and socks before starting. That usually does the trick. Very fun and laidback hike otherwise. We've been visiting this trail for years now, and always have a nice time. Great views, and rolling hills. Can't ask for much else, locally.

    "Hot Dusty Trails, but Lots of Free Maps"…read more I love the East Bay Regional Park system, but this is probably my least favorite park. The main trails are just dirt tracks wide open to the elements. You can imagine how it is on a summer day out here. If you enjoy dusty, desert-like environments with no water, and dying of thirst, you'll love this park. I try to come here once a year. Honestly, that's enough. Besides the main staging area, there are a few tricky entrances to the park. In the California Highlands condo complex, there are a few trails that eventually lead into this park. Keep in mind that those entrances are not open to bikes. I found out the hard way. There is an interesting side trail called Donlon Point. I believe it's the highest point in the park. There's a good view up there, plus lots of cow material. There is drinking water and a modern restroom at the staging area. Additionally, there are plenty of free maps at the gate. That's one great thing about the East Bay Park system. They are not stingy about giving out free maps. The day that I visited, the parking lot was nearly empty. You will not have trouble finding a parking spot. On the other hand, there's probably a good reason for that. As a local alternative, I recommend Las Trampas. The trails there are more interesting. Check out the Camille trailhead in Alamo.
