The new park at Oak Grove preserves 497 acres of open space in perpetuity. The landowners will establish conservation easements over the 497 acres that the City will own. These deed restrictions mean that the nearly 500-acre public park will become a permanent greenbelt protecting Pleasanton’s southern boundary. The grasslands and oak woodland habitats and the 12,000 oak trees at Oak Grove will remain wild forever.

The beauty of the 12,000 oak trees, gentle slopes, oak woodland habitat and Bay views is difficult to describe. Once the park is created, Pleasanton residents can go to Oak Grove and experience it themselves. Until then, you can get a glimpse of the nature at Oak Grove through the lens of local Realtor and photographer Dorian Glanville, community leader Becky Dennis, trails advocate Dick Quigley and others in the slide show below.
