The nearly 500 acre park at Oak Grove will be Pleasanton’s largest park. It will be twice the size of Augustin Bernal and three times the size of the Callippe Preserve open space. The new city-owned park will be open to the public. The landowner will build miles of hiking, biking and equestrian trails, a link in the regional trail connecting Callippe Preserve with Shadow Cliffs Regional Park and an 11-car staging area that has a public bathroom. The landowner will also establish conservation easements over the new park and an endowment fund for maintenance that guarantees that it will remain as open space in perpetuity.

The nearly 500-acre park at Oak Grove is the cornerstone of a vision for a 2,000-acre permanent greenbelt sealing Pleasanton’s southern boundary from any future growth. Without the Oak Grove plan, there would be no new public park, no public access to the southeast hills and the vision would never become reality.
