Grateful Dads,

I hope that you and your family and friends can join us for our annual hike at Tilden Park.  This is one of our special “family/friends” events, so we can get acquainted with the moms as well.  As the name implies, you are also encouraged to bring your friends to this event as well.  There are plenty of activities up at Tilden Park, including the “Little Farm”, the carousel and the steam trains.  I have attached a PDF with more detail as well as a map to this email.  Below you’ll find the text portion of the flyer for this hike.  Also attached to this email is our 2008 hike schedule so that you can make sure that you have the dates marked on your calendar for future Grateful Dads hikes.  Please be sure to visit the Grateful Dads web site at www.gratefuldads.com for information on our hikes, other chapters’ hikes in the Bay Area, and useful information about hiking with your children.  

See you on the trails!

Best Regards,

Allen

Hike #52 – FAMILY/FRIENDS HIKE!

Tilden Regional Park

Wildcat Gorge Trail and Lake Anza

Saturday, August 16, 2008, 9:00am

Most people think of Tilden Park as a place to take the kids.  The park has pony rides, a carousel, a miniature steam train, a swimming beach at Lake Anza, a farm and lots of other diversions to keep the children occupied and happy.  The LONE OAK picnic site will be the meeting area (see directions on next page).  Our hike will start by following the Wildcat Gorge Trail towards Lake Anza.  We will go around the lake and wind up opposite from the swim beach on some large rocky outcroppings.  Here we’ll take a snack break before finishing the trip around the lake.  We then head back down the Wildcat Gorge Trail back to the Lone Oak picnic site.  The entire hike is about 3.0 miles, will last about 2.5-3.0 hours, and will be capped off with a picnic lunch back at the Lone Oak picnic area.  Please bring your own lunch, as none will be provided.  After lunch let the children explore the fun amusement activities of this wonderful park.

SCHEDULE:

9:00am SHARP – meet up and head out.  If you’re late…catch up to us!

12:00pm-1:00pm – Picnic lunch at the LONE OAK picnic area

(bring whatever you want, even coolers, since we’ll be eating next to our cars)

(PLEASE REMEMBER – LUNCH IS NOT PROVIDED)

1:00pm-? – Enjoy the park’s amusement activities with your children

DIRECTIONS

Take I-580 to Highway 13.  Go north to Highway 24.  Go east on Highway 24 to Fish Ranch Rd.  At Fish Ranch Rd, go north to Grizzly Peak Rd.  Take a right on Grizzly Peak Rd.  Turn right and enter the park on South Park Rd.  Turn left on Wildcat Canyon Rd.

Wildcat Canyon Rd. winds around the edge of the park, and then you make a right turn on Central Park Rd.  Take Central Park Rd. past the Carousel, then turn right on Lone Oak Road and procede to the picnic site just across the small bridge.  We’ll meet here at 9:00am SHARP, and head out.  If late, just catch up!

Please Read!

Due to a HIGH fire danger and a possibility that Joaquin Miller Park will be closed on Monday, the location for the EBD Annual Labor Day Picnic has been changed to Moraga Commons in Moraga.

Yes.... it's slightly self serving since I live down the street. BUT, there are multiple play structures, swings for all ages, a sand volleyball court (without May-Traenor and Walsh), a 9-hole disc golf course, bocce ball courts (Luke you packin' the bocce again?), grills, it's alcohol friendly and there's a water feature which I think has been turned on recently.

... and a skate park for your the older kids.

see ya there!!!
