Growing up, this place was known simply as the Ukiah Municipal Park. I'm not sure when the whole Todd Grove thing happened, but it's the in thing to name parks after people. I'm all good with that. Some of the park kid toys are gone, but the giant tractor tires remain. What is it about a giant rubber tire that would get me to spend countless hours entertaining me? The parks iconic symbol to me was always the rocket. Now that was the single biggest childhood attraction for me growing up in the entire town. I still remember the day I felt like one of the big kids when I finally stopped my crying and summited the very top. I swear you could see the Golden Gate Bridge from there. Sir Edmund Hillary has nothing on me. . This park includes two swimming pools, plenty of picnics and countless trees that provide protection and shade from the hot summer sun. I took swimming lessons here as a kid and is where I conquered my fear of the water. I cannot even begin to count the fond memories of this place. From the family summer outings, to the yearly school picnics this place will always hold a special place in my heart.

You can just walk up to the gravity cabin and spend as long as you want. It's like the Mystery Spot except there's no organized tour explaining everything and how things work. I did the train, which was okay, but it goes about every hour so it's more worth it if you are there closer to the departing time otherwise you might not want to wait an hour. Confusion Hill is a definite go to stop on a road trip along the 101.

I think part of the charm in a place like this is to just explore. There seemed to be an attraction called the Gravity House ($5 admission) at the top of confusion hill. There is a train that takes folks there from the parking lot ($10 a ride) up to the top. Since it wasn't running when we came, we had to skip the house since it would have been too difficult a walk. At the parking lot level, there's a small cafe selling standard fare (burger, hot dogs, fries). The souvenir shop is large, and all of ended up buying a few things to remember the red woods. Picture taking opportunities are plentiful, and we ended up taking a picture of the Worlds Tallest Freestanding Redwood Chainsaw Carving, 40' foot totem pole. And of course there are very tall redwoods all over the area.

Folks show up early to stake their claim for prime space, even before the bands show up to start getting ready for their shows. There are food trucks, and sponsor booths giving away various items during the concerts. I was quite impressed with the play equipment the City installed for the community, as well as the fact that they maintain restrooms for public use. I can only hope the concerts continues on for many years to come.

Some tall mature trees and a small playground mark this park. New trees have been planted as the park looks toward a better future. However, it could use a little TLC, as it is kind of scruffy, with threadbare grass. The main pathway through the park, with an attractive border of names of donators, was sullied by dirt and mud. A new grassy area and regular maintenance would go a long way to an improved appearance. It's located in the southeast part of downtown, bordered on the south by Main Street, between Lansing and Howard Streets.

Absolutely love this place!…read more I just wish that there were reviews on how to actually get to the trails/paved walking areas. So for all of you out there that are wanting a nice, serene hike/more of a walk and listen up! First, you're going to want to locate the Beachcomber motel (the green one). The , you're going to want to go one parking lot north of that. On your left side as you're heading north you will see a small parking lot. This is where you want to park. On another note, there is access to that pedestrian bridge through a residential area that is south of the motel. You'll have to map it because we did not come this way and I cannot advise you on how to get here. Lol. There are so many opportunities to walk along the ridge as well as paved areas that share space with all of the coastline motels. Your options are vast and you could easily get a 3 to 4 mile walk/run in this area. I'm actually not sure how much further down it goes because the pup and I got tired. Lol . If you're walking along the ridge, consider wearing pants. I don't recommend tights because there are a lot of branches and bushes that stick out on the dirt trails. Wearing some windbreakers or sweatpants is likely your better option. There are breathtaking views from anywhere you go along the coastline. Either from the paved road or from the dirt paths. I do recommend clothed toed shoes if you are going off the paved path. There are some parts where the sand is loose and other parts where is completely rock. This is where I wish I would've had my hiking boots on, but my running shoes held up just fine. As you get further from what we'll call motel row, it gets quieter and more serene. More importantly, there's less foot traffic and bike traffic. It is very congested by the bridge itself, both on the bridge and below on the beach. This seems to be one of the longest areas in Fort Bragg to walk or ride your bike. There are some cooler places south of Fort Bragg in Mendocino that are also worth exploring. ***PSA*** This is a special announcement for all you doggy owners. Please don't be that person that does not bring poop bags. Your dog is almost guaranteed to shit on that bridge and we witnessed it TWICE. Once from a very large dog, whose poop was kicked around. As well as a smaller dog, who had the case of the runs. Neither of those situations are flattering. If anything, they are embarrassing... for YOU. Forgot to add that parking is free and there is a restroom (use at your own risk).
