Events
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.
We're probably heading to the Orinda 4th of July Parade. Very BART accessible.
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).
Heading to the zoo with BC . We'll be at the flamingos at 1030 then heading right. Packing lunches and some cold ones. :-)
