Alviso Adobe Community Park
Pleasanton’s Alviso Adobe Community Park is a unique site that tells the story of California from its earliest human history. This fully restored interpretative park offers a rare glimpse of times past – from its Native American beginnings to the days of Spanish Ranchos managing herds of cattle through a period in the early to the mid-20th century when it was a popular dairy and finally its present as a community park.
Del Valle Regional Park
Deep in a valley framed by oak-covered hills, with sailboats and sailboards skimming over its waters, Del Valle is like a lakeside resort only 10 miles south of Livermore. The centerpiece of the park is a lake five miles long with a variety of water-oriented recreation, from swimming to windsurfing and boating, or for hiking, horseback riding, and nature study.
Brushy Peak Regional Preserve
Brushy Peak is a 1,702-foot landmark at the juncture of the San Francisco Bay Area. The peak and its environs have been recognized as sacred by generations of native Californians. Due to its geographical position, the area lies at the center of a network of ancient trade routes that linked Bay Area Ohlones, Bay Miwoks, and Northern Valley Yokuts.
Dublin Regional Park – Donlon Point
Dublin Hills Regional Park opens up to a beautiful landscape that spans approximately 654 acres within an undeveloped open space corridor consisting of the main ridge that connects Donlon Point on the Park’s southern boundary to Wiedemann Hill located on adjacent private property to the north, interspersed with steep-sloped canyons.
Morgan Territory Regional Preserve
Sandstone hills within the park are adorned in the month of spring with more than 90 species of wildflowers, including the Diablo sunflower, which grows only in the foothills of Mount Diablo. Deer, coyotes, and even the elusive mountain lion may be seen here, and a variety of raptors frequently soar overhead. Expansive ridge top views reveal Mount Diablo to the west.
