GPS took us directly to the parking lot and we were amazed. 1:00 pm and there was one car in the lot, which was leaving as we pulled in. It's a large lot leading to a beautiful park with clean restrooms. We didn't inspect the entire park, it was much too warm, at least 91-degrees. We sat at a picnic table under an awning which provided shade. I got a bowl of water for the dog and was quite impressed that the water was cold. We watched as another car came, and someone began shooting baskets. When we were done with lunch, we cleaned up and I walked a little bit just to get a few photos for this review. A word of warning to those who bring children to this park. The park appears to be very clean and safe. Keep in mind that the play structures are fully exposed to the sun all day. Be sure to touch surfaces to make sure they're not too hot for young skin. This is a very impressive little park. The only thing that we would have liked seeing was a dog park.

You basically drive up Faria Parkway through the new housing development known as The Preserve. No traffic signals, but lots of roundabouts. The park has a panoramic view of the San Ramon Valley, and. has two levels. Kid's playgrounds on the first level along with walking trails. Soccer/Baseball fields with artificial turf on the upper level. Picnic area and BBQ grills (with lids!) scattered about. Oh, and yes they have modern, clean and well-stocked bathrooms on both levels, which is super convenient. There are also signs noting the area is under 24/7 surveillance. Our son had a blast visiting this park, and we were impressed by the nice views despite being nestled within a large housing development. This would be an awesome place to catch the sunrise or sunset for sure.

STAR JASMINE, MONARCH RIDGE LOOP TRAIL REVIEW: I found this short, easy trail on All Trails. There…read morewere no signs anywhere, so if it weren't for the navigation on the All Trails app, I wouldn't have known this existed. It's a 2.2 mile, easy walk/hike behind some homes and loops you back to Red Willow Park. The walk is fine, but there's nothing interesting to view, and you can hear the cars nearby so you don't get that out-in-nature feel. The park itself looks nice. There's a little playground with a slide and some swings. There were a few picnic tables with a bbq grill. Looks very clean, and there was no one around on a Saturday morning. We only passed by the park, so this rating is strictly for the trail.

I came here to participate in one of the San Ramon hiking challenges, unfortunately there aren't clearly marked signs for the trail, so you kinda just have to follow the trail. The SR hiking challenge has it as a 2.24 mile hike starting at red willow park and then descending with hidden crest loop. Apparently hidden crest loop was really hidden since I couldn't find it! Haha. There were different trails in different directions, but without clear markings and the higher grass like trees it didn't feel like a good idea. You can find the short trail and back right after passing the bathrooms. You start with a steep incline at first, but nothing too major. Once you get to the highest part of the incline, remember to turn around and take in that beautiful view! Along the way you'll see flowers and wildlife such as unique birds. Spring is the perfect time since everything is so green and in full bloom. A word of caution, stay in the middle of the path since getting too close to the outside with high trees, you may find some other wildlife! I did run into a couple of tiny garden snakes when I wasn't on the middle of the path, but they were harmless and merely trying to get away into the bushes. The mantra I kept repeating was that they are more afraid of you then you are of them! Regardless, stay on the path! Definitely a park that should be explored if you're ever in the area!
