All of the picnic tables were great for snack or lunch and the bathrooms were impeccably clean. My husband I also thought the very sweet apology signs about the grass not looking perfect because of the drought were funny since the grass looked mostly perfect to us! And there are great coffee and food options for the whole family a short walk away. We'll definitely be back!

The park was named after Martha Van De Leur who served as teacher and principal at Yountville and Salvador Elementary Schools for 50 years. There's a plaque on a rock in the park describing the history of this park. It is a tranquil park with tall trees, a fountain in the middle with many pieces of art in it as it is part of the Yountville Art Walk. There are benches and two picnic tables in the park, where we've enjoyed picnic lunches and foods from the nearby bakeries in between our wine tastings. A nice park to chill, relax and enjoy the tranquility and artwork while in Yountville.

The park has a suggested donation box near the parking lot. There was a map with different trail options near it. They were open from dawn to dusk. Since we got there later, we decided to do the closest trail we found and walk up it for 20 minutes before turning around. We did a medium level vista trail that had a clear dirt path zigzagging up a mountain. It was absolutely gorgeous. While we didn't exactly make it to the main vista, we still enjoyed the stunning views of other mountains and the gorgeous wildflowers and trees. I highly recommend checking this park out.

Located in the heart of ridiculously cute St. Helena, this small, shaded community hangout is the perfect place to enjoy any number of leisure activities. We were in town for the day and looking for a place to eat some sandwiches we'd just purchased at a nearby deli. There weren't a lot of benches in town so we headed here. The park is overall well-maintained, with a gazebo, plenty of places to sit and a couple little monuments to view. There's plenty of shade from surrounding trees for those visiting in the peak of summer. I especially liked the little two seat tables that were perfect for lunch. I also appreciated that they had open and CLEAN, fully accessible public restrooms. This is after we were looking for a place to go in town and found everything, including even the visitor's center, closed to the public.

I did, however, have to make multiple rest stops because I was dying lol. View was gorgeous and the picture does not do justice. There were maybe 3 other small groups when we got there but we were so spread apart that we didn't run into each other. On the way back down, I had a mishap and my shoelace hoop hooked onto my other shoes hook and I took a nice fall. It was my mistake and not the trails. I didn't even try to fix my mistake because as we were nearing the parking lot, I tripped again (same reason) and I fell on the rocks right before the asphalt. We had a good laugh. The employee who was on the golf cart was on his way back and saw me on the ground. He kindly asked if I needed help but I was too busy laughing and embarrassed that I declined his help. This will definitely be a memory to remember!

I was able to read some of the book from the Library of Congress archives and found Oliver Evans wrote the guide and patented his design in 1790, the year the patent office was formed, before patents were numbered. In 1804 they retroactively assigned him patent number (X3) three. He licensed his design to hundreds of people including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. He became the first American to live off of intellectual property income.

I have not been here since before the pandemic but it is always an amazing experience.

Modest entry fee.

I think my favorite part about this park is the tall redwood trees and the rose garden. Such a nice touch. The playground itself is nice. There's one for toddlers and another for older kids. The one for big kids was slightly dirty and run down. It also had a lot of spider webs. I also wish the playground had an enclosed gate but there are two huge openings. There's a lot of picnic tables, bbq pits, a bathroom and trash cans around. Plenty of shade for those hot summer days and parking in the residential neighborhood as well. I think they can do a better job at keeping the area clean -- that' was my biggest ick.

I love that the playground is surrounded by a low fence with limited access which makes it harder for little ones to wander off or for strangers to approach. I had an enjoyable visit at this block-sized park. Plenty of space to move around and not have to rub shoulders with others. Street parking is available along the perimeter.

The parking lot will get full on the weekends, especially during spring when you have a better chance of seeing whales. Several picnic tables available with friendly seabirds checking out what you're eating. Restrooms are next to the parking lot.
