Feel free to bring your family to our 1st ever family picnic meet-up!
San Francisco Bay Area Local Guides will be trying a different kind of Local Guides meet-up. Since we already know each other, what better way to expand our SF Bay Area Local Guides Community by now wanting to meet each others’ families, whether they be spouses, partners, significant others, friends, grandparents, babies, kids, AND DOGS.
Starting at 11 am, Saturday, Oct 29th
We will be meeting for the 1st time in the East Bay (across the Bay from San Francisco) in a town called Danville, known for its old, majestic oak trees, rolling foothills, and woodsy, tree line streets at historic Hap Magee Ranch Park.
Historic Danville’s Hap Magee Ranch Park
Originally, part of the over 16-acre Park’s property is next to the San Ramon Creek which had many sites where Indians lived from the 1700s -1800s. It was then part of Mission San Jose grazing land, part of a rancho. In 1911, it became a summer camp for San Francisco orphans, called “Camp Swain” for the children to have a place to get away from the cold, damp San Francisco summers.
Currently, Hap Magee Ranch Park offers the full experience — a regional trail, community garden, dog park, an Indian commemorative site and historic buildings that remind visitors of the area’s rich Western history. Its namesake, rancher Hap Magee from the late 1940s, was known not only for his longhorn cattle, but his collection of more than 3,000 branding irons — one of the largest collections of its kind in the country!
The almost 2-acre Canine Corral, one of the Park’s many fun features, is a grassy off-leash fenced-in park that is divided into two areas - one for small dogs and the other for large dogs. This dog park is one of the best off-leash dog parks in the East Bay. It’s well-loved and used in the San Ramon-Danville-Alamo communities. I can vouch my dog loves this place and always passed out in the backseat on the drive home from all playing with all her new dog friends.
For all the 1st ever Local Guides Family Picnic details, please read & RSVP online by Oct 28th
