Recommended Walks in the Walnut Creek Open Space

We have compiled some interpretive guides to walks in the Open Space with notes and pictures of things to see on those walks – plants, animals, and the geology of the area. In addition, we have general guides that provide background information on things you might see anywhere in the Open Space.

Many of our trails are accessed through residential streets. On your way to and from Walnut Creek's Open Space, remember to be a good neighbor: Obey all traffic laws — stop at all stop signs, drive slowly and yield to pedestrians. Be mindful where you park — do not block driveways or crosswalks, and remember it's illegal to park in an intersection.
