A Brand New Park …
... with more wilderness to explore! The following from East Bay Regional Park District:
On July 22, the East Bay Regional Park District will open its newest park near the Schaefer Ranch Development in Dublin. This 500+ acre park offers spectacular views of the City of Dublin to the east and rolling hills toward Bishop Ranch Open Space to the north. The trail system includes a portion of the Calaveras Ridge Trail. The public is invited to an evening celebration to dedicate this new park. Information of the park can be found here.
If you miss the dedication, you can explore the park with a naturalist as part of the Tuesday Twilight hiking program on August 10. The dedication and hike will begin at the staging area located on Dublin Blvd. two miles west of San Ramon Valley Road in Dublin.
Disclaimer: This is not a scouting event. The above is posted here for informational purposes only.
