Castro Valley Community Park — Attraction in Castro Valley

And the final downside of this park, is that the restrooms are down by the baseball field, which is a bit of a trek (especially for...

Volunteers took us on a tour of the theater so we could see what goes on behind the scenes. The Castro Valley Veterans Memorial is right across the parking lot. It's a beautiful tribute to our veterans.

There was a huge birthday party going on in the site next to us. Some of the kids were playing out on the lawn. Others were blowing big bubbles with fun bubble equipment. The adults were also having a good time.

All in all, everyone had a marvelous time at the...
