Located in the heart of ridiculously cute St. Helena, this small, shaded community hangout is the perfect place to enjoy any number of leisure activities. We were in town for the day and looking for a place to eat some sandwiches we'd just purchased at a nearby deli. There weren't a lot of benches in town so we headed here. The park is overall well-maintained, with a gazebo, plenty of places to sit and a couple little monuments to view. There's plenty of shade from surrounding trees for those visiting in the peak of summer. I especially liked the little two seat tables that were perfect for lunch. I also appreciated that they had open and CLEAN, fully accessible public restrooms. This is after we were looking for a place to go in town and found everything, including even the visitor's center, closed to the public.

The park has a suggested donation box near the parking lot. There was a map with different trail options near it. They were open from dawn to dusk. Since we got there later, we decided to do the closest trail we found and walk up it for 20 minutes before turning around. We did a medium level vista trail that had a clear dirt path zigzagging up a mountain. It was absolutely gorgeous. While we didn't exactly make it to the main vista, we still enjoyed the stunning views of other mountains and the gorgeous wildflowers and trees. I highly recommend checking this park out.

The park was named after Martha Van De Leur who served as teacher and principal at Yountville and Salvador Elementary Schools for 50 years. There's a plaque on a rock in the park describing the history of this park. It is a tranquil park with tall trees, a fountain in the middle with many pieces of art in it as it is part of the Yountville Art Walk. There are benches and two picnic tables in the park, where we've enjoyed picnic lunches and foods from the nearby bakeries in between our wine tastings. A nice park to chill, relax and enjoy the tranquility and artwork while in Yountville.

If you can catch the trail on a lightly traveled day, you can take a leisurely drive next to gorgeous, sun-soaked vineyards and grapevines. There are tons of picture-perfect photo opportunities along this road. There are lots of very high quality wineries along the route too, most are open to the public (and benefit from less crowds)! A lot of the wineries require appointments to be sure to check before showing up to avoid disappointment.
