There is a spinner to dry your suit. The pool itself is 25 yards wide and has 12 lanes. There are four shallow lanes for people who are doing wading work. There is an advanced class that takes up four lanes at noon so it can get crowded for everyone else at that time. Water aerobics are in the early morning and other lanes can get crowded at that time as well. But the lanes are wide so doubling is not usually a problem.

My husband used to help me with the heavy lifting and building raised beds etc but he recently passed away. So when the dust settles I'd need to see can I do this alone with a bad back and health issues? I've got a little yard which I think is just right for a beginner. I want to learn.

I found this community garden and thought that on top of taking a look and see veggies growing and butterflies flying around, we could have a bite sitting there and smelling the aromas of Spring. We were not expecting that much, but honestly this community garden is awesome! Well protected with fences and trees, funnily you can find artichoke plants outside the walls! All plots are very well organized and looks like the growers-neighbors take good care of them. It is very enjoyable just to walk there. We also learned that there are classes in situ and various community activities, so very educational for children and adults alike. Speaking of children, needless to say that the kidult in me had a blast playing a the tipi tent and posing for pics in front of those colorful little cottages where the tools are kept, as well as played with some kitchenettes and mini picnic tables. I didn't ask if the plots are only opened to Sunnyvale residents...in any case, once you visit there, you will feel the love for agriculture instantly.

Don Biddle Park is a beautiful park located in the heart of Dublin. Despite its beauty, there are…read moresome drawbacks. When we visited, it had only been open for a month or two. The first time we went, it was packed to the brim (mainly with field trip groups, though there were plenty of other kids there too). People could barely move around the main playground, and we were stuck spending most of our time on the purple playground. The second time we visited, the same thing happened. It would be nice if there were a maximum-capacity sign and perhaps even a reservation system for the playground. It would be much more enjoyable if visitors could actually move around and use the equipment without such heavy crowds.

Perfect spot for play dates, birthday parties or just to exist. That's what our daughter loves to…read moredo every time she visits. Since there are SO MANY play areas and structures to explore and enjoy, I have never heard her say she is bored. Our daughter can exist here for hours with snacks and water at hand. Kids are ALWAYS here so it is easy to find a playmate, if needed, for the day. There are restrooms directly behind the big play area with multiple stalls. It is well maintained and usually stocked. There are lots of benches, both with and without backs, surrounding the various play areas. There are numerous hammocks surrounding the park (closest to the swing area).. Be careful not to get too relaxed and misplace your lil one(s). It gets pretty hot out here and with the absence of shaded benches, bring a blanket to sit beneath a tree or an awning and chairs if you're fancy. Parking is directly outside the park. With ample parking it is difficult to not find a spot. During summer months it gets a little harder do arrive early. A grass area separates play from parking. There are plenty of bike racks as well. If you do not feel like driving the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station is a 12 minute walk away. If we ever explored this option I would have to bring a wagon. After play I doubt our little one would want to trek the journey. There are very few food options nearby so definitely come with snacks and drinks. There are working water fountains throughout the park (not refill stations). Come, enjoy! You can make a day of play here without spending a dime.

I have been germinating seeds for a long time and my interest in plants extends to the very life sustaining forests of California Sierras. A community garden brings people together, provides a positive resource in the community and gives people some fresh, healthy organic vegetables to eat. Many seniors in our complex get tomatoes, beans, peppers and lettuce from our efforts. We are so happy to have this garden in Vallejo and hope it continues to grow and thrive.
