  Offers good but challenging hikes since there are a lot of hills. Two different areas to park, one is paid and one is not since it is in a neighborhood. Beautiful views of Petaluma, good place to take the dog to. Some trails are more shaded than others, so definitely bring a hat and sunscreen. Probably 3+ miles worth of hiking to do here, and they’re in the process of building a new trail it looks like!

  Or afternoon! This place is beautiful! Both steep climbs and gentle walks, both open, sunny meadows and green forest. Beautiful views and lovely little glades. The trails aren't too long. The fish pond is so pretty and peaceful. A really lovely place to spend a morning
