Dry Creek Pioneer Regional Park - Trailhead

From the park website...

This is Dry Creek and we bid you welcome.
Famed in the early 1880s for the spirit of gaiety that reigned here on festival days, guests poured in from the rural districts of the whole county to greet their friends and make merry.

And so today, we pray you to maintain with us that holiday spirit; leave care and worry behind you; enjoy the beauties of nature here in your midst; and pause for a moment in your rush through life to give thanks to the great artist who painted this ever-changing picture of the hills and fields and streams.

--Edith Meyers, of the Meyers Ranch Family

Trailhead is located in Union City. There's a good number of parking spot, a water fountain and what look like a small restroom.
