Grateful Dads – East Bay Chapter FAMILY/FRIENDS CAMPOUT And Hike #62 Anthony Chabot Regional Park Family Campground to Raccoon Point Saturday, June 20 and Sunday, June 21, 2009
Lake Chabot is a 315-acre lake with an intimate feel, which has many nooks and crannies along its shoreline that form bays and inlets, and an island in the middle. Today, Anthony Chabot Regional Park is one of the most popular fishing spots in the East Bay, and boats and canoes can be rented for trips into the various narrow inlets and bays. This is the first family/friends hike of the season. Those who have RSVP’d and reserved a spot for this trip, will meet at campsites 69-72 in the family campground. There can be two tents on each campsite, so we have room for 8 families so far. We’ll meet between 2pm and 3pm at the sites to set up our tents. After the tents are set up we will go on the hike from the campground to Raccoon Point and back. We’ll have a campfire cookout on Saturday evening, enjoy a RESTFUL night under the stars that night, and on Sunday morning we’ll take down camp and leave around mid-morning.

Kennedy Grove Regional Recreation Area offers a comfortable setting for either small or large group picnics (some by reservation) or informal gatherings of friends and families. The grove is situated at the base of San Pablo Dam, and its whispering eucalyptus trees offer a fragrant, calm setting for all kinds of activities from company picnics to family reunions. The centrally located turf meadow provides additional play space for picnickers with enough room to toss a Frisbee, pass a football, or set up an informal softball game. (Hardball is not permitted.) Volleyball and horseshoes are popular with all ages, and equipment may be rented for a minimal fee. | ||

Great park for big and little kids. There's a giant slide, a smaller playground for toddlers, a lake with little minnows, and a big grass area. To get there, take 80 to Central Avenue. Head east on Central, then north on San Pablo. Turn right (east) on Moeser Lane and go all the way up to Arlington. Turn left on Arlington, and the park will be a few blocks up on your right. | ||

Moraga Commons is a large park with a few play structures, nice picnic tables in the shade, lots of grass, and a couple of water jets that the kids can run through, so bring a bathing suit and towel for your kid (and since the water sprays over cement, it's best if you can bring shoes that your kid can get wet in). | ||
