Parks & Picnic Grounds
// Parks & Open Space
Our 1,800-acre valley includes 700 acres of open space, rolling hills, manicured parks, botanical gardens and winding trails, as well as viewpoints to take in the scenic Tice Valley, Mt. Diablo and beyond.
Few active adult communities can match the natural setting Rossmoor calls home or its diverse offerings of parks, gardens, trails and picnic grounds.

Even the functional spaces make the most of Rossmoor's natural setting. Here are just a few of our parks and picnic grounds.

🥾 Trails & Hiking
Rossmoor has a trails system for all levels the connects the major West Ridge and East Ridge Trails that border the valley. The trails can be reached by 17 access points throughout Rossmoor.
The trails are maintained in part by the Rossmoor Trails Club, which offers a variety of hikes every Wednesday and Saturday. The club is divided into four hiking groups of varying levels.
