Parks & Picnic Grounds

// PARKS & OPEN SPACE
 

Our 1,800-acre valley includes 700 acres of open space, rolling hills, manicured parks, botanical gardens and winding trails, as well as viewpoints to take in the scenic Tice Valley, Mt. Diablo and beyond.

                                                                            natural setting Rossmoor calls home or its diverse
                                                                                 offerings of parks, gardens, trails and picnic grounds.

A Valley Unlike Any Other

When developer Ross Cortese established Rossmoor on the former Dollar family estate, he deliberately planned a community that preserved the natural character of the Tice Valley. Even the functional spaces make the most of Rossmoor's natural setting. Here are just a few of our parks and picnic grounds.

Trails & Hiking

Rossmoor has a trails system for all levels the connects the major West Ridge and East Ridge Trails that border the valley. The trails can be reached by 17 access points throughout Rossmoor.

The fenced area located in the rear right corner of the Tice Creek Fitness Center parking lot is a designated park for dogs of all sizes and a perfect place for their owners to interact.

Dogs can play off-leash from 8 a.m. to dusk on the artificial surface. Chairs line the park for owners to sit and socialize.
There's also a Dog Park Club with guest speakers on pet-related topics.
