We did the "primitive trail" loop today with our dog.  Nice trail, but a little overgrown in places.  Didn't see a lot of other people.  Some industrial noise, especially on the north end of the park -- and it's a Sunday!
                     
            
                    
                    Nice park, but not a great hike

Nice park, but not really what I'm looking for in a "hike," given that it's so public and paved.  And beware -- I sat under a tree near the soccer fields to draw in my sketchbook, and I got a ton of chigger bites!

Nice hike for me and my dog this afternoon, with almost nobody else on the trail.  Good opportunities for photography along the western leg on Walnut Creek, too.
There's a small lot to park in at Blakeney and Rotherham Drive.
