Confirmed from Red Willow Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Relaxing baseball field and trail-filled park, popular for picnics.

“The walking trails are well-maintained and offer beautiful views of the surrounding nature.”
“It was peaceful & relaxing for a outdoor get-together with friends.”
Nice small park tucked away in the neighborhood with hiking paths. Several parking spots available. Hiking path leads to other local neighborhood parks and paths. Love this place
Such a cute well maintained park in a peaceful residential area. Lovely view around. We loved to play badminton here in the morning when hardly anyone was around. They have a public toilet, children's play area, sitting space and baseball field. Parking is limited but was almost empty on a weekday morning.
Red willow is our favorite stop by park. It is clean and well-maintained, but it's a bit small in comparisons to other parks in San ramon. The playground is nice, but there could be more variety for older kids. The walking trails are short, but they're a good option for a quick stroll.
After work at 6:15pm, I came hike about 40 minutes. Saw one of the most beautiful sunset. Saw Diablo hill cross valley. So I call this -Tri- valley "little Diablo ".
