Dinosaur Hill Park

Beautiful views. The first impression since the parking lot was literally just a 4 car parking took me a bit off. But the stairs that lead to the dinosaur-like shaped rocks was good. The view from the top was really good. Just the parking and getting out of the parking spot was tough as the oncoming traffic was non-stop.

Gorgeous in the morning when it's nice and green from recent rains. Great view of Mt Diablo. The parking lot is TEENY so be aware.

Looks easy but the long rolling hills made this simple trail a harder hike. The views are pretty all around and over all makes for a good one hour hike.

Dinosaur Hill Park has been here since I can remember. (1955) It is right in back of the house my Dad built at that time on Random Way. I loved climbing the hill up to the top so I could see the incredible view!!! I went there December 28th 2018 for the first time since 1960. WOW!!! The day was so clear and the view was just spectacular!!! I took some pictures that I added the photos to this place on Google maps.
The only reasons I didn't give dinosaur Hill Park five stars is because there are no facilities here and it really needs some work for access especially for the handicapped. There is just a dirt path and there are some rickety stairs not to be trusted. This area is not really accessible during the rain or when it's really wet. There is no pavement and and no cement. Just dirt and mud and grass. There is a handicap parking place and the pathway is accessible if it is dry. Another thing I was disappointed in was that people have spray-painted graffiti on the interesting natural rocks and boulders.
Please be respectful of this place
