    An awesome park located in the heart of San Ramon!!! A very spacious park, it has a half court basketball court, kids play area, tennis courts, a small amphitheater, a skate park, and a grassy sports field area. Very clean and very popular, it was crowded when I came here and was I was lucky to find a parking spot available. And the community center is here also, right next to City Hall!!

    Recently renovated and SO beautiful -- perfect free summer spot for kids! This place is amazing for letting kids run wild and burn off energy Free water play area -- perfect for hot days Large, modern playground -- tons to explore Lots of shade -- super comfortable even in the sun BBQ area + plenty of seating -- great for parties Clean restrooms available Big grassy field for running around Tennis courts for adults too Summary: Free, clean, fun, and well-equipped Perfect for the whole family -- definitely worth coming back!

    I came to this park for a soccer tournament. The fields were nice. They have a lot of parking. The playground looked big and covered seating. They had some vendors out selling snow cones and Menchie's yogurt. I'm not sure if that's an all the time thing or because there was a tournament going on. It's a nice park.

    Love going for a run here and walking my fur babies. It's a beautiful, well maintained park surrounded by trees, greenery and sport fields in the middle of San Ramon. It's conveniently located right across the street from the library. What a treasure to have in San Ramon...

    Soccer and baseball fields

    One of the things COVID has done FOR us, as opposed to done TO us, is that it has forced us to venture beyond our comfort zone. Especially into nature and the various parks and recreation areas our tax dollars pay for. Where I used to have a monthly restaurant rotation, now I have a monthly park rotation! Central Park in San Ramon is firmly in my park rotation. I happily drive over 10 miles from my home to this park for the following reasons: - soccer and baseball fields, tennis courts, and a jogging track - a nice breeze usually blowing in from the ocean - covered area where one can shelter from the elements - benches and picnic tables to gather with your bubble, or just sit and rest - functioning, well-stocked and clean bathrooms - adequate parking - easy access from the freeway So if you're looking for a nice park to go for some exercise or spend some time with loved ones, head on over. You're welcome!

    I come to this area occasionally and had no idea about this awesome park until yesterday. We spent a wonderful evening walking and hanging out with friends on a beautiful day. There is a lot of greenery and a lot of open space, tennis courts, and a small basketball court.

    Great park with shade and running paths.

    Beautiful public park! This park is well maintained with many areas for different sports-soccer fields, basketball courts, sand volleyball. Plus, there's a playground and an outdoor amphitheater. I appreciate the clean bathrooms located throughout.

    Kids love the splash pad. Specifically sailing boats down the river. Nice shaded areas for parents to sit and watch.

    Ask the Community - San Ramon Central Park

    Is there a walking path? What's the distance and is it a loop?

    Is the splash pad still on through September? When is the last day they turn the water on?

    Can you see fire works from the park

    Does this park have a basketball court? Last I heard it was torn down for City Hall.

    There used be be 3 full courts and a half court that was separate. They got rid of all 3 full courts. There is now only a half court next to the tennis courts. Used to be the most popular courts in the East Bay until they decided to rip them out to… Read more

    PASSPORT SERVICES: Made an appointment for passport renewal…read more& showed up with all paperwork ready to go (pics, birth certificates, ids, checks, application, blood work --JK..I had it all. I was greeted by receptionist (no smiles just a "hello" and asked to take a seat (we arrived 30 min early to our appointment). A few minutes later the passport processor called us into her office. No greetings, just looked at me through the glass & I guess assumed I'd just know to give her all the paperwork. I did. She looked at all of it, started the process & was silent.. except when she had a few short questions. It was extremely awkward & it felt like going to DMV where they're not necessarily mean but not at all friendly. NOTE: THEY DO NOT TAKE PASSPORT PICS HERE.

    San Ramon, you're growing up! How about a bright, shiny and new city hall to get the party…read morestarted? Yes, please. After living in San Ramon for almost 9 years, I was fairly unimpressed with the old City Hall digs in a nearby business park and was very happy to hear that my well-run city was going to get itself a new place to call home. So, how did it turn out? Well, I think it's beautiful! I love the rotunda (the round portion of the building with lots of glass and a shiny floor), it's grandiose and a perfect showpiece for the city. It's clear that the building was built using the latest in environmental and technological bells 'n whistles, which add to it's splendor. I happened to visit the NEW city hall for a trip to their passport office and was very pleased with the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. Congrats San Ramon, you've successfully built yourself something to be proud of - a lovely new City Hall. 5 stars.

    1 of 2 Yelp reviews…read more Quality/Quantity - One of the "newer" cities. One of the nicer master communities (IMO). I remember when you started all those golf course master communities, etc. Things to do and see in San Ramon: If you love nature - Mt Diablo, Diablo Range, San Ramon Valley, Las Trampas Regional Wilderness, Forest Home Farms Historic Park, Bishop Ranch Regional Preserve, Bridges Golf Course, Canyon Lakes Golf Course & Brewery, San Ramon Golf Club, etc. 2014 - City center is still my favorite part of the city. 350k square feet! Beautiful space, plenty of restaurants, a brewery (Fieldworks), etc. Atmosphere - See above. 18.72 square miles, 0.03 of which is water. 2020 census population of 84.6k. Largest employers are - PG&E, Chevron (I believe they are moving, if they have not moved already), Robert Half International, BMO Bank, etc. Service - Good, they cater to a slightly more affluent customer. It also depends on what you do, eat, or drink. Price - Reasonable. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1983.

    So I've lived in San Ramon for the past three years now, so I think I've got a fair grasp of what…read moreit's like living here. These are just my opinions on what it's been like. I'll start with the Pro's: -It's safe. Really one of the few cities left in the Bay Area where it feels like you can walk around in public and not be scared of being a victim of a crime, or worry that your car will be broken into for zero reason. -It's a clean city. You won't find streets or really any areas that have been taken over by trash or encampments here. -Public services are really good. The libraries are really nice. Lots of parks and sports things to take advantage of (skateparks, tennis courts, soccer fields, etc). Plenty of trails through the hills as well. Post office is really efficient. As for the Con's: -Driving through San Ramon is actually a nightmare for no other reason than the traffic lights and terrible drivers. It's like their city planner decided on pure chaos when they engineered the traffic lights here. They somehow managed to make it so that you will hit every red light possible. You'll have a main road with a 50 mph speed limit, and it'll take you 20 minutes to drive 3 miles, because you'll spend 15 of those minutes stopped at a red light. The problem is that their lights both have zero communication with one another, and the side streets take priority over the main roads. Stopped at a red light at one intersection? Be prepared to stop at a red light 100 yards down the street. What's the point of a 50mph speed limit if you're just stop and go every block (looking at you here Bollinger Canyon Rd). Single car just pulled up from a side road? Boom, instant red light for the main road. The lights linger as red's for so long as well. It's super common to get stopped at a red light, notice that zero cars have moved for the last 15 seconds, think to yourself "why is this even a red light", wait 10 more seconds, and then finally one of the lights will turn green and a direction of traffic will move, but usually not yours. -For some reason San Ramon has these walking trails that cut through main roads of the city, so you'll have a main road with 50+ cars stopped for one pedestrian that has suddenly decided to cross the road. Like, your city is rich enough, just build a bridge for the pedestrians. For example, there's one of these a few blocks away from The Lot. Massive and busy downtown shopping area, and you're going to have a pedestrian trail stopping all traffic for one person walking. It's absolutely dumb, especially when there's both crosswalks for normal pedestrians to use at regular traffic lights just a few yards away, and there's already 3 regular traffic lights just between Alcosta Rd to The Lot. You don't need that extra one just for a trail. -The drivers here are bad. I've lived in the Bay Area nearly every year of my 34, and San Ramon has the worst of any city I've ever been in. A very solid portion of drivers here are afraid of the speed limit, and will drive 10 to 15 mph below it. Others are just actually bad, like lane changes without any care for who's next to them, stopping in the middle of the road, or they're glued to their phones. Here in San Ramon, you will definitely have a Tesla cut you off, brake check you, and drive 10 below the speed limit. In other cities, you'll maybe encounter someone like this on the road somewhat commonly, but here in San Ramon it's about 25% of the drivers. -So expensive. I get it, cause it's a very safe spot in the Bay Area, but housing and rentals should not be this much for what you get. Food and groceries run pricier than the norm too. -If you've got any sort of color to your skin, you're more than likely to run into some sort of racism at some point in this city. It's a very rich city with people who like to act rich, and it leans conservative. So be prepared for the microaggressions. And the Mid's -Restaurants are so middle of the road. Most of the restaurants are just okay, not good and not bad. There's Marugame Udon and a Philz. Hooray? Orient Express and MJ Sushi are some of the more hidden gems in terms of food here. A lot of the restaurants here are designed for people who think Chipotle is ethnic food, so take that for what you will. -Somewhat central Bay Area location is fine. San Jose is half an hour away. Oakland is 45 minutes. The City is about an hour away. Could be better, and could be lots worse. -Weather is fine. Way hotter than the rest of the Bay. But, it's the Bay Area and it's better than 90% of the rest of the country anyways so I can't complain much. In all, it's a decent spot in the Bay Area to live. Haven't minded it too much the last 3 years.
