Two local parks make for easy retreats with friends and family
It’s amazing how often people can miss great attractions close to home. Discovering beautiful or fun places close to where you live is a great way to enrich your daily life.
I have enjoyed parks in the East Bay for years but still have a lot to discover, mainly because there are so many options. The East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) comprises 65 parks and more than 1,200 miles of trails for hiking, biking, swimming, horseback riding and nature learning. It represents a huge number of outdoor activities and places to enjoy nature throughout Alameda and Contra Costa counties.
