HOW HAVE I NEVER BEEN HERE?!?!?!?! I loved it. There are lots of trails at different levels. There are paved trails and then trails off the path that are marked! So you get the nice city view OR you get to walk what feels like you're in a tiny forest. You choose. The easy trail had really short inclines and then flat spots and then downhill. They have a long off leash trail which for me was great because it meant I didn't have to keep clipping her on and off every 10minutes. We came across at least 6 off leash dogs under voice command which was really great to see! There were people who had their dogs on leash who weren't so great off leash, so great job to yall for doing your part! There was this muddy area which got slippery because it was in the downhill area but my dog had a field day in there with this other dog. There are different mushrooms so make sure you look out for that. Also, there seemed to be poison oak around so also, make sure you are paying attention to that! There are lots of benches and little areas to have a snack at. There's also a campground! I'll definitely be coming back here.

One of our favorite local hikes. 6 miles and 800ft total gain from the entrance in the Wilder, development. This route kept us sane through covid.

Nice regional park on top of the Oakland Hills. It’s a great place for a nice short hike. There a few labyrinths in the park that you can explore. Most of the trails are fairly easy and can be hiked be most people.

This preserve provides a great natural area for all kinds of recreation and respite. There are loops small and large enough for running. There are plenty of people walking their dogs. I witnessed several cyclists riding their bikes. The most unique aspect of this preserve was the educational aspect. At the trailhead there was a descriptive pictorial explaining the geological.history to the volcanoes throughout the area. As you walk through the park one will find several markers detailing the specific rock outcroppings and their origin story. This was great for those enthusiastic about the geological history of the Bay Area. I also think this may be a great idea for building interest in science for children as a family outing. Overall the hike was easy to moderate in difficulty. I circumnavigated the Preserve and my mileage was under 7 miles. The parking lot was medium sized, but I had no problem finding a spot at 9:30 on a Saturday morning. I noticed a lot of turnover since most were there to take their dogs on a quick walk. As usual enjoy the space and don't forget to say hello to your fellow hikers and riders.

Nice and easy hike with kids. Sibley volcanic regional preserve. We made detours into pond trail and quarry trail along with the main volcanic loop trail. It was cold and foggy on Saturday. Couldn't spot any labyrinths because of limited views. But still a beautiful hike. Saw bunnies along the way and gorgeous wildflowers. Look out for hemlock and poison oak on the sides.

I love hiking here where volcanoes once spewed! There is an visitor center next to the parking lot that has some interesting facts about the history of the volcanic activity. There are samples of different kinds of rocks that were formed by the volcano that you can actually touch. Besides hiking, you can also ride bikes on the wider trails. The hours are 7 AM-10 PM. This park is across the bay from San Francisco and east of Oakland in the hills. The park is 928 acres. If I want a quiet walk, I like going around sunrise or sunset--when it is the most quiet. If you want to camp there, look online. You can bring your pooch, but they need to be on leash. I love taking pictures at Sibley!!!

Beautiful park with eucalyptus groves. I loved the signs explaining the geology and animals. The trails were easy to walk and well marked.

First time I saw a photograph of the stunning Labyrinth in Sibley Volcanic Park I imagined I must be looking at an image of neolithic earthworks… But an inscription on the back of of the photo said “Sibley Regional Park Oakland, CA” I was flabbergasted. It took me about 2 years to figure out exactly where this was (in 1998, before Google had taken over the map world)… The location of the Labyrinth was not on any park map, because it was “not officially sanctioned or a historically old enough feature”. Now it is on a few park signs. Once found I’ve taken many people there. When we visit in the SPRING it’s particularly awe-inspiring ~ there’s a shallow VERNAL POOL, which covers half the bottom of the old quarry. This time of year it’s teaming with LIFE. Redwing blackbirds and other marshy birds fill the air with their mating songs, Spring peepers fill the cool night air with their amphibious chorus… Newts and Salamanders have gathering under water, breeding and protecting their eggs ! It’s the beauty of biodiversity embodied !! And THEN there is the beautiful Labyrinth ~ Bring a small offering to leave in the Center ~ but LEAVE the DOGS at HOME ~ This pool is so FRAGILE and dogs just wreak havoc on the new & delicate life there ! But DO bring a human friend to share the beauty !

This place is pretty unique little Hidden Gem that I didn't even know about until one of my friends pointed it out to me. It doesn't have a lot of parking at the bottom parking lot but up at the top is seems to have more space for parking. The trails are wide and easy to walk there are some that are kind of steep but it's a very nice, canopy over your head, it's a enjoyable place to go and enjoy a nice outing and a good hike.

Gorgeous wilderness area with hills and vistas and various trails to explore. Mostly wide, dirt-packed trails across open hills that makes for easy going. Exposed (no tree cover), so it can be hot on sunny days, but that also means it’s usually not overly muddy even when there’s been a lot of rain. Dogs are allowed off leash on most trails as long as the cows aren’t out grazing.

Sibley regional park is one of my favorite local hikes. The terrain isn't too challenging which makes it great for when you want to bring visitors and family. The views can be impressive along the top ridge, and the volcanic history of the area is an interesting natural feature to explore.

Easy hikes with spectacular views, & unique geography. The drive up alone is fun for those who are into winding mountain roads, & surprisingly remote for being just a bit up from the urbanity of Oakland! For a fun family adventure, go in search of the “fabled” stone labyrinths!

Convientiently located off the highway near East Bay, this park offers dog-friendly trails with pleasant views of the surrounding volcanic hills. A trip around the park can be a pleasant 3-4 mile walk, and if you tackle the inclines you can add up to 600ft in elevation. It's a great place to wind down after work, sunlight permitting.

Nice hike with beautiful views. There are three trails which are all under 4 miles. Good place for walking and hiking. Limited shade prepare accordingly on a sunny summer day. Very limited parking at the trail entrances. There is street parking available and expect crowd on a weekend. I would recommend going early.

Very easy trails, you even can come with a stroller. I’ve found amazing views, volcanic rocks. There are many points that tell you the history of this place. Don’t forget a hat and sunscreen because it absolutely boiling🥵

Pretty paths! Lots of nice hills, wish there was more shade and trees and less grassy fields, but it's still nice! Bring sun screen!

Absolutely stunning extinct volcano. The trail we took was the sightseeing loop. There were a few spots where you had to watch your footing, but overall not too difficult. Make sure to wear sturdy shoes and bring plenty of water; the increased elevation means that sun is intense! The park is very large and I’m excited to explore more of it.

Such a nice place to have a little walk!

Great place to hike, amazing views. There's lots of cows just hanging out along the paths.
