I guess because of the ongoing droughts, the drooping economy, & this plague it looks a bit unkempt but its still so peaceful. It used to be very, very, well maintained. The gardiners were there daily. Everything was nicely clipped and edged.

Quiet, peaceful, beautiful tree canopy, but be ready for uneven grass and paths throughout.

Rustic, hilly, well-treed neighborhood park with big level playground area. Several picnic areas, tennis courts, basketball hoops, big hilly lawns. Tiny antique fire museum. Popular place for neighbors and out of town folks. Kudos to the long ago family who once owned this lovely estate.

Nice quiet park with lots of places to chill, place for kids to play, as well as a basketball court. I didnt explore the whole park so theres more to offer than what Ive mentioned.

The park is great, but, the lamp post behind the restroom is losing its globe that sits on top of it. The maintenance man says its been like that for years, but a tree branch is pushing it off. They are just looking for a lawsuit to happen. Be careful around that lamp post. It could fall on top of you.

Small but really neat park in San Rafael. I was there for the Porchfest Music Festival. Benches, places to eat, lots of shade, well manicured!

Wonderful little park with a few nice open space trails in the hills above. See if you can find the long abandoned quarry. The trails ties into a fire road above the quarry and there a few more unmarked trails off of upper toyan Rd. The first trail you come to leads back down to greenwood Ave and is actually a part of an old stagecoach road that went all the way to bolinas!
