East Bay Regional Parks


The East Bay Regional Parks is the largest regional park district in the nation. It is made up of 100,000 acres, 65 parks and over 1100 miles of trails. Redwood Bowl is one of my favorite parks within the system. Not only are the trails beautiful, the bathrooms clean, water fountains for people and pets, the rangers are wonderful. Everyone that works there loves animals. When I take my groups to the Bowl, the dogs go nuts when they hear the carts (aka mules). I have to leash most of them so they wont throw themselves in front of it. The rangers always stop to say hi and fawn over the dogs calling them by their names! Most of the rangers have dogs and cats of their own so they have a real soft spot for animals in general. If you find yourself in the area, stop by and say hi. Let them know how much they are appreciated. They work very hard to keep the park safe and clean for us. Check out their web-site. I have provided a link under "resources".
