Went here yesterday for the first time while running and I like it! Park is beautiful and clean, and there's a really nice trail nearby which I strongly recommend for any walkers/runners/bikers out there. There is plenty of uphill near the end if you take it, but it's honestly not that bad. Reminded me of the creekside trail in Santa Rosa.

One of my favorite spots in the Bay Area to hike! It’s always a nice walk with beautiful scenery and animals, not to mention the quiet at the top! I love the view and the sun feels great during this adventure.
