This
is
one
of
the
best
parks
I've
ever
been
to.
Spread
over
300
acres
there
is
something
for
everyone
whether
you
love
nature
or
like
to
take
the
pet
dog
out
for
a
walk
on
a
trail
surrounded
by
cypress,
pine,
and
eucalyptus
trees.
There
are
paved
and
unpaved
trails
for
walking
where
you
can
get
a
stunning
view
of
parts
of
the
Bay
area.
There
are
a
couple
of
duck
ponds
where
you
can
see
the
ducks
waddling
away
as
well
as
the
Jerry
Garcia
amphitheatre
used
to
stage
plays
by
school
kids
and
to
have
other
community
events.
There
is
also
a
separate
play
area
for
small
children
as
well
as
space
for
family
picnics.
On
the
perimeter
of
the
park
you
have
the
wonderfully
named
paved
looped
trail
called
the
Philosopher's
Way
where
people
can
rest
and
take
in
the
view.
There
are
several
tennis
courts,
a
large
baseball
practice
area,
and
a
nine
hole
golf
course.
Toilets
are
clean
and
conveniently
located.
People
living
in
the
area
may
complain
about
the
amount
of
local
and
community
taxes
they
have
to
pay
but
when
you
have
places
like
the
John
McLaren
park
in
your
neighborhood
you
should
count
your
blessings.
A
daily
walk
or
jog
here
is
a
real
joy
that
you'll
be
hard
pressed
to
find
in
other
urban
environments.
It's
a
well
kept
secret
for
the
neighborhood
residents
who
probably
want
to
keep
it
that
way
instead
of
having
crowds
come
and
spoil
the
rustic
charm
of
this
park.
