Country Manor Park is a small park in Antioch that I used to frequent as a kid. Before I actually…read morelived in the Bay Area, my Dad would take my siblings and I here to watch the fireworks on top of the hill when we would come to visit. It became somewhat of a ritual when I moved to Antioch, and our family friends would join us here to watch the Fireworks on the Fourth of July and sometimes on New Years Eve. I started coming here on my own with my friends when I was in high school and it became our little hangout spot. Fast forward to today, and this park still offers an amazing viewpoint of the Antioch Bridge, Mount Diablo, and the city of Antioch itself. Every so often, I would take a trip down memory lane and drive down to this park to take a walk and to enjoy the view on top of the hill. I will admit that it's been too many years too long since I've visited this park, but I'm glad that I made a stop here recently. Aside from the wonderful viewpoint, the park offers a nice playground for young kids to enjoy, a paved path for walking your dogs (or just for yourself), a large grassy field, and even a batting cage and dugout for hosting baseball and softball games. There are a few benches and tables along the path and one barbecue pit at the opposite end of the parking lot. The park itself is very peaceful and it has never been crowded during the many years that I have come here. There is a small parking lot that rarely ever gets full and ample street parking as it is located in a residential area off of Asilomar Drive. They also have restrooms but they were closed during my most recent visit due to maintenance. The paved path circles around the field, but it connects to another path that will lead you on a trail behind another residential area. To access the view point, you can take the narrow dirt trail next to the batting cage that will lead you up to the top of the hill. There is one part of the trail that is extremely muddy because of all of the rain and should be proceeded with caution as slipping can be possible. The hill is a short walk up but very steep. The views are totally worth the trek up to the top! Usually this area is pretty well maintained, but it was really grassy when I last visited. I hold this little park near and dear to my heart. It's always nostalgic for me when I do come to visit, even after years of not going. It's a great place to go if you're looking for a local park to take your dog for a walk, your children out to play, or even just to relax and take in the wonderful views on top of the hill.

Holly Creek Park in Oakley, CA is one of the cleanest and peaceful park I've seen in the East Bay…read more It's has a nice size playground and a huge grass area, at times used for kids soccer practice. There's also a walking/running path for you, your family and pets that's about a 1/4 of a mile round. There's also room for family BBQs and small parties. Update 04/10/2023: still beautiful as it was and there has been a few changes. The ground floor for the playground has been changed to a flat, soft, bouncy floor which makes it less hazardous. And I'm happy to announce that there is now a public restroom which is lovely. Now we can enjoy the beautiful park fully. I just hope they continue to maintain a clean park. Thank you to the community park management whomever you are.

For safety reasons, I like to avoid what I call convenience playgrounds. Those are parks that…read morepeople only go to out of convenience rather than as a destination. They'll cut through the park to get to their destination or hang out only b/c it's there close to where they're going. If it was any further away or more difficult to access, they wouldn't be there. Those types of parks invite people who have no real business being at the park which can lead to safety issues. Holly Creek is not one of those parks. It's definitely a destination playground. You won't find yourself up on that hill to the base of the playground just for kicks and you certainly won't make your way up the incline or stairs to get to the actual spots like the tennis courts if you're not intending to play tennis. You're also not taking effort to go up there unless you're really intending to play with the play structures or to find the sweat spot for a picnic. I didn't confirm, but I'm pretty sure the small building I saw on the other side of the tennis courts is a bathroom. Hopefully it's only during Covid, but dog walkers seem to ignore the signs about no dogs being allowed on the baseball field. Saw at least 4. If you're intending to play ball, bring a gang or wear your uniforms so it looks obvious and maybe they'll move away. Do I deserve to be there to fly my FPV quadcopter more than the dog owners just chilling? Debatable. I didn't feel like confronting anyone and certainly didn't want my quad chewed up by a dog. Nor would I want dog owners giving me attitude b/c somehow I create an attractive nuisance for a dog that shouldn't even be there in the first place. The playground structures are on the older side, but the structures seem fun. A single designated entrance/exit which is excellent for safety. You know who's going in/out and there won't be people using it as a short cut to get through the park. Those that don't belong there most likely won't be wondering through there and it'll be obvious to everyone. Single paths aren't the safest of ways to design a park. It forces people who don't want to cross paths to have to cross paths. There should always be an alternative route. The variety of types of spaces makes this place possibly worth a second trip. Remember that hard to get to is actually a good thing as long as enough people make that trek. Population needs to be large enough where anyone willing to make the trek out to a spot isn't vulnerable by being the only ones out there. Worth checking out, but don't get too excited.

Depending on the stage in the treatment process and the wind direction you could be in for a bad time. If you are from the area like us you may just notice its extra funky smelling on such days, but when we first moved here and anytime out of towners join us it's really noticable to the unaccustomed. Fields are well maintained except maybe the ball fields that seem to have an unhealthy amount of rocks for baseball. Drainaige is pretty good but some of the fields get water logged by the rain so come prepared if you are playing on or after a wet day. Parking is pretty ample but when there isnt enough you need to park along Garin parkway, which has a posted speed limit of 25 (good) but actual speeds average 35-45 depending on time of day. Be careful getting in and out of your cars. Crossing sunset isnt as bad as the lights are timed for those kinds of speeds.
