I very distinctly remember my second visit to Arbolado Park.  My first was more memorable as it involved a most excellent picnic with my soon to become best friend++.  We posted up under the tree on the little hill to the right as you drive in to the upper parking lot.  And as that was such a great time we decided to try it again the following week.  Only instead of the area being basically empty, upon our return visit there was a local business man taking a ride on his secretary.  Ahhh, I can see his head peering around her knee, her feet pointing skyward, and looking right at me with a bit of contempt before going back to finish his business.  But I digress.  If you find yourself at Arbolado Park you are probably lost.  But don't fret.  Take the time to enjoy what the city of Walnut Creek refers to as 26 acres of lush green parkland.  There's a nice soccer field, some well-maintained tennis courts, a kids playground, picnic tables, a few trees that provide some much needed shade, a bunch of open space, and just enough privacy.
