The Library & Recreation Department oversees programs and events within the parks. For questions or comments about programming call (925) 931-5340. 

Park Maintenance is operated through the Public Works Department. To report maintenance issues use the Mainstar portal or call (925) 931-5565.

BMX Track

The BMX Track is 3.65 acres and contains several dirt mounds and berms for BMX riding. There are also several picnic tables and a public restroom. The track is located at 3320 Stanley Blvd.

The park is open from dawn to dusk weather permitting. In seasons of heavy rain the park will remain closed until conditions are considered safe.

When utilizing the park please abide by all safety signage.

Question about the track, call call (925) 931-5340.

You can add these stickers to your water bottle from the trails challenge last year. (Didn’t get a water bottle last year? Don’t worry, ask for one at the counter as well.)
