More to do in Pleasanton
Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park offers a snapshot of the region’s beautiful natural landscapes and temperate weather. After you’ve had your fill of shopping, spend some time in the great outdoors, reconnecting with nature. This beautiful park is more than 5,200 acres of oak-covered ridge overlooking Pleasanton and the Livermore Valley from the west.
Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park is planned as the core of a Ridgelands Regional Park, a huge undertaking that will unfold over a number of years. The main goal of this development, though, has been intentionally limited to preserve the pastoral atmosphere.
The park occupies Pleasanton Ridge and beyond. To the northwest it spills down off Pleasanton Ridge into upper Kilkare Canyon, where it continues up onto Sunol Ridge, finally reaching its westernmost corner in Stoneybrook Canyon. Inside the park, elevations exceed 1,600 feet.
Hikers, equestrians and cyclists will enjoy the multipurpose trail system in the park from the main staging area on Foothill Road. Along these trails you’ll experience canyon views, ridgetop vistas, and access to stunning remote, deep-canyon streams.
