Awesome views, nice open trail. Steep terrain makes for a good workout.

Totally one of the most beautiful spots Ive seen in the area. Granted, I visited just a few days after a storm rolled through, but the hills were vibrant green and everything was bursting with life. Hardly anyone around. Easy to get away from the sound of traffic. Just beautiful. Easy to get lost in it, in a good way.

Love riding this spot. Parking is right there and have some pretty sweet trails to ride.

Love this place, probably the best trail in the area. A lot of forking of paths so you never take the same way twice! Theres benches to sit and relax on the top of some of the hills, theres a water dispenser for dogs, trail is kept very clean! Theres also a paved trail more towards the bottom of you dont like running on rocky terrain.

Outstanding open space for those that really want a simple no frills series of trails in beautiful hills. Watch out for cows in certain areas, and be aware that many many people do NOT observe the guidelines for where dogs can go, and ESPECIALLY where dogs are not supposed to be off leash. Also realize that there are four or five diffrrent areas all titled Limeridge that span a number of distinct plots on both sides of Ygnacio Valley road. So it is not just one open area. Occasional snakes and a coyote or two so keep an eye open and enjoy!

Great hikes with dog, alone, wi friends and family. Great model airplane flying. Nature, beauty, bird watching. Beautiful, peaceful, flat, uphill, downhill, as far as eye can see.

Lime Ridge Open Space is beautiful and is very nice to do a wide arrangement of different activities. Lime Ridge is an amazing place to exercise by walking, running and an incredible place to walk your dog. Lime Ridge has a great open area which is nice for flying a kite or letting your pet run around. This open space has beautiful views and gorgeous scenery. I completely love this open area and enjoy visiting this location.

Sunrise here is not bad, to say the least. Conveniently located area to get a little exercise, for those of us in Concord or Walnut Creek who need a side of beautiful natural scenery with our walk/jog/ride. Also cant wait to take my guy here- can only imagine its tres romantique taking in the sunset from the top of one of these hills.

I just love riding in the hills on my mountain bike. The vistas are outstanding.

Nice, easy paced trails.

I love this place! Watch out for the bikers riding through. Theres trails for bikers and then theres trails for pedestrians. Though, I dont see any rules stating pedestrians cant go on the biking trails, but you just have to be careful and look ahead. It was a great location for taking photos of my dogs!

We enjoyed a nice Sunday afternoon hike here recently. It was a great place to enjoy a beautiful spring weekend. Would drive out here again for a hike to see the area

Well maintained and clean trail. Not too congested and quiet. Out of the way from the main roads. Cute wildlife along the route.

Pretty good in sunny day. Pretty sunny and have very good views. The trail is not that long, 2+ miles one way.

Love to hike here. There are multiple trails withdwith elevation. The view is wonderful in winter.

The Lime Ridge Open Space Preserve is a nice place to go hiking or mountain biking. There are a few trails that connect in various areas in the preserve. The hike up the hill is nice and offers views of Mt. Diablo and surrounding area.

Nice little talk and superb view of the town

Stunning views throughout the many trails through the Diablo Hills. (Dont forget your water!)

Great place to hike, bike. No issues walking barefoot. Pretty quiet for meditation but from time to time bikes come through from my experience.

Comparing to Las Trampas or Diablo foothills, looks dirty (just the soil is different); much less green trees.

Great biking trails. Amazing views

Great place to MTB

This place is awesome for hiking and biking. Beware of rattle Snakes late spring and early summer.

Good and watch out for snakes I recommend it to walk there

Beautiful area during late winter and spring... The hills and fields are covered in green grass, yellow wild flowers, and trees are starting to bloom! Good place to walk and/or jog. My dogs enjoy being there too.

As a pet photographer and avid hiker, Im always looking for hiking spots that will get me the best of both worlds. Lime Ridge definitely doesnt disappoint! For being right in the middle of the burbs, its definitely a breath of fresh air.

Good daily hikes. Nothing special to speak of though

Great easy walk/hike. Went with a group of moms and we enjoyed the views and walk around the ridge.

Great place for a family hike.

Excellent place for walks either skiing it with the dogs. A variety of trails at different levels of difficulty.

NO DOGS.A lot of reviews talk about how great this park is for their dogs, but that wasnt what I found when I got there with my two pups. Instead we were greeted by multiple signs prohibiting dogs completely. Another sign mentioned rattlers and ticks, and between that and the NO DOGS signs, I decided not to chance it and just took them to the Diablo foothills.

Its peaceful for walks and relaxation though not far from the city. There are two trails you can take; one its walking or biking on the pavement road and the other through the hills. Im always on the lookout out for hares or birds or other type of animals...I love this place

A great place for a day hike or bike ride in the hills!

Times of mountain biking trails

Just before the entrance to the Borges ranch parking lot if you cut left into the hills and swoop around a power line tower and make your way to the top you can see a horse ranch to your bottom left. This ranch will light up the satellites in the sky. I was fortunate to see the spaceX starlink but it may have also been the a-train. Eighter way its really cool and so is all the wild stuff you hear at 4 a.m. I do recommend you bring a knife b/c Ive seen wild bore, one mountain lion and the skull of a mountain lion with the front teeth looking about an inch long.If you run into one up there no one will hear your getting dismembered. If you have a good headlamp and head for the outer ridge you can see all types and eyeballs staring at you from the surrounding brush making it really unique and if you are really lucky and the fog comes in you will be in for a real treat.

Like to hike here in the earlier part of morning, cool and breezy.

The trails are very nice going up to Lime Ridge Open Space that you can hike or use a mountain bike. There are open areas that are very sunny and some trails that are shady. Once you top the ridge there are beautiful views to the west Walnut Creek with lots of rolling hills and lots of trees or looking east the terrain is hilly, dryer and trees. The area we visited is mostly all uphill until you reach the ridge. You should be aware that there are rattlesnakes that could be on the trail especially during the hotter weather. There are several routes to visit Lime Ridge. The easiest route and shortest is a parking lot off Ygnacio Valley road & Montecito Dr. which is open from 6 am to 6 pm.

Good sunset views

Not much shade but beautiful nevertheless

Amazing view!

Thats good to visit, walking, running, cycling, and playing golf.

Up until last week I would have gave this trail a 5 star. Beautiful scenery, easy access EXCEPT almost getting attacked by 2 pitbulls in front of their owner! I called Concord animal control and they did nothing to send someone out and had me wait 40 minutes just so I can speak to a live person! The rules state the trail is a leashed dog site, but almost everyone over there walks their dogs unleashed and the surrounding residents have a sense of entitlement so youve been warned! If you have a gym membership or alternative place to go please do so! This place is a safety hazard with zero monitoring.

Nice spot for a quick hike. Light to heavy trials depending on what you what to experience.

Its like a nice tuna melt hot unless you leave it out to long

Great place to hike in the Concord Walnut Creek ares

Fresh air great view.every day we should take a time to do some waking.

Beautiful Diablo Foothills and a killer view

Some of the best biking and hiking in the local area. Great views, wild life and generally not very many people to get in your way

Beautiful scenery. Wildlife. Tranquility.

Well. . . Its called Lime Ridge and it was open by the time I passed by in a bus or a car for an instant, so FIVE STARS!!!!

By far one of the best places to go for a walk or a run. Miles of hills and the paths are paved fairly well. There are always cattle grazing (fenced off) and if you hike to the top of the hills there are always great views of the city. Great place to bring your dog on a walk or even a picnic in a secluded part of the fields. Just have to watch out for snakes during certain months.

Great hike for beginners and experienced hikers alike.

Very long and peaceful trails, great for relaxing walks!

Nice short loop, great for dogs

Gorgeous rolling hills you can see for miles, easy trails floor walking/hiking with a few steep inclines, and easy road access. Great place to explore for beginner hikers.

Love hiking here. I only wish we were free to walk dogs here. Lame no doggie rule

Amazing place to hike. Cant get enough of this trail in just a day.

Came here with our 5-month-old son hoping for more hikable and picturesque spot. Its fairly desolate, next to a busy road, and full of speedy mountain bikers.

100% YES. Go bike, run, walk, dog walk.. Great veiws and a good way to get out in nature a bit.

I love going here, its beautiful . You get to see the wildlife at its finest. Free.

Nice trails all around. Many multiples of miles from easy to moderate to hard!

Nice area to hike

Great and quiet trail. I wish hikers would pick up after their pets.

Great place to roam....take walks. Kids love it

Love this place perfect for a beautiful hike.

Very big. Wonderful

Great location for short hike or runs. The access off Treat has a large parking lot many nice trails. The part of Ygnacio is also good, bigger and more hills.

Awesome spot wish I had more time To go further

Went geocaching here and watched the sunset

Great place to go for a jog. Or to take the dog for a walk. The lime Ridge side leads to the san miguel side so depending on what side of the open space you want to visit you can then park accordingly. No water fountains or bathrooms.

Its a nice plays to park and eat your lunch or take a walk bring your dog..like any where Els peaple like to hang out there.ushaly a car there plenty room to be by your self...have fun

Beautiful open space. Great to visit during all times of the year.

Enjoying walking thru the hills.

Favorite place to hike in Concord

Late night bicycle ride. No traffic, no nothing to interfere with our ride. 22 miles. Enjoyed it very much.

Good place for mountain biking. You should only use mountain bikes because of the rough terrain. Hiking is fun there too. The fires burnt it down but it’s growing back like a weed.

Favorite hike spot. Best place to let my dog run off leash

Great getaway for a local walk or bike ride.

Good views, walking along the canal is great with a dog. Keep an eye out for skunks though.

Nice views, lots of birds, saw deer tracks. Muddy after the rains. The mud likes to stick to your shoes.

Beautiful place to walk your dog amd enjoy the local nature. Hiking trails and hills to walk in.

Fantastic place for a local hike or trail run close to Walnut Creek and Concord. Mostly a combination of single tracks and jeep trails. Good variability of flat and open trails with very steep ones.

Great trail running - the trails on the sections north of Treat and south of Ygnacio are the best, the middle section is ok. The south part can get crowded with mountain bikers, so keep your head up if on the single track running uphill. It is the best part of visiting Concord.

Yes it’s a beautiful place, but, NO dogs!! There are many signs about this being a wildlife protection area and dogs are not allowed. Don’t bring your dog.

Great place to hike and beautiful views of the East Bay.

Love taking the dogs off leash

Beautiful and recovering nicely from last year’s fire. Bigly mud!

Fantastic place with beautiful view of the city of Concord and Walnut Creek. During the Falls and Summer, this place is covered with dry golden grass then in the winter and spring the ground is covered with green grass and flower blossoms. We love to come here for a walk, jog and relax.

So grateful to live right here with easy access to the trails. You have your choice of paved or going off the beaten path. Views are great and the changes in elevation are just enough to get the heart rate going.

Narrow twisty trails, up the hill, and through the trees. Great view at the top, and usually a breeze.

Nice hiking trails in a scenic area with lovely limestone rock structures. Includes 2 labyrinths you can explore plus trails under the nearby freeway. Restrooms and good parking at Arbolado Park.

Nice open place for an easy hike or dog walk. Good views.

Lots of space to run / hike / bike ride. Not a lot of shade so be sure to bring lots of water on those hot days. Theres tons dirt trails and even a paved trail that follows the canal for those who dont want to venture off the trail. Be sure to watch for snakes if you head off trail and check for ticks after you get back. Just a reminder as they are around at certain times of the year.

Great day havent ridden hear in years. Just started riding again after my neck surgery and tested out the surgeons work with a big fall. All is well and great day at lime Ridge.

Old times to play

Nice place to get out and enjoy

Very nice place to ride....lots of trails and fire service roads

Not crowded and quiet and beautiful views of the sunset

Fresh air and birds singing throughout the trail. Bay area nature

Nice place for hiking
