The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs and horses are also able to use this trail. See here: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/thermalito-ridgeline-oak-tree-trail–2 \n\nLength: 6.2 mi\nElevation gain: 1\,325 ft.\nRoute type: Loop\nAbout The Park\nThis beautiful 5\,271-acre parkland is on the oak-covered ridge overlooking Pleasanton and the Livermore Valley from the west. It is planned as the core of a Ridgelands Regional Park to be acquired over a period of many years. Parkland development has been intentionally limited to preserve the pastoral atmosphere. \nThe park occupies Pleasanton Ridge and beyond. To the northwest it spills down off Pleasanton Ridge into upper Kilkare Canyon\, where it continues up onto Sunol Ridge\, finally terminating at its westernmost corner in Stoneybrook Canyon. Inside the park\, elevations exceed 1\,600 feet. \n\nPark Activities\nFrom the main staging area on Foothill Road you can follow a multi-purpose trail system\, which accommodates hikers\, equestrians\, and bicyclists\, provides canyon views and ridge-top vistas\, and access to remote\, deep-canyon streams. \nPark Accessibility\nThere are one paved disabled parking and one wheelchair accessible portable toilet in the Foothill staging area. The two old redwood type drinking fountains would allow a wheelchair to get under but there is no smooth surface under these facilities. The park will install an upgraded fountain this summer for wheelchair users in an area by the disabled parking. There is one picnic table that can accommodate two wheelchairs and is also next to the disabled parking. The trails in the park are all multi-use dirt trails so they are more suitable for visitors who use electric wheelchair. \nTrail Accessibility Report\nOak Tree Trail: Download PDF | Download MS Word \nTo Reach The Park\nFrom I-680 in Pleasanton\, exit at Castlewood Drive and go west. Turn left (south) onto Foothill Road\, towards the town of Sunol.
