  2. Follow the signed 10-foot concrete shared-use trail northeast from the park.

Good to know

This is an editorial two-mile outing on an official 8.7-mile corridor: turn around after one mile rather than continuing to Walnut Creek Sports Park. The concrete path is shared with bicycles and includes soft hills.
