We are fortunate in Benicia to have a state park in our midst. It is always busy with walkers, runners, people on bikes and just plain strollers. You can get as much exercise as you want as there is a 5 mile round trip trail. There are the beautiful views of the Carquinez Straits and you might catch a tugboat bringing a freighter in along the straits. On Thursday or Friday night the sailboats whisk along the water grabbing the ever present breezes that help keep us cool in Benicia.
At each end there is ample parking for a slight fee. Some people choose to park outside the park and walk in. There is water for drinking and to quench your pet's thirst. For a break sit on a bench and dream a little dream.
At the end of the park closest to Columbus Parkway exit we have a new pedestrian bridge which provides access for those of us on near Rose Drive. I just wrote about this pedistrian bridge opening up in another blog titled Benicia Pedestrian Walk Way Over HWY 780.
You don't have to go far to find an economical day adventure! Visit our Local Benicia State Park soon.
