The 126-acre Newhall Community Park can be found along Galindo Creek east of Treat Boulevard. Access is via Newhall Parkway south of Clayton Road or from Turtle Creek Road. Galindo Creek meanders through the park.

Approximately 30 acres of park is improved with ponds along the creek, a play structure, picnic areas, bocce courts, and turfed athletic fields. There is one reservable group picnic area in a secluded creekside setting with large oak trees. A Vietnam War Memorial graces the vista point.

The park has a secure, fenced area where dogs can exercise off-leash called the Paw Patch. The Paw Patch has a designated area for dogs less than 30 pounds, as well as a large dog play area for dogs over 30 pounds. 

Dogs must remain on leash when they are outside of the Paw Patch.

The Paw Patch closes during inclement weather. Please call City of Concord Rain Hotline (925) 671-3479 for park opening or closure.

DogTrekkers tell us that hiking is their favorite activity when visiting new destinations. Happily, Concord has so many hikes that you’ll want to stay a few extra days. The trails of Briones Regional Park unfold to the west of town. Lime Ridge Open Space stretches across the southern landscape. Both Baldwin Dog Park and Newhall Park Paw Patch welcome pups within the city. Get historical with the Concord Historical Society’s self-guided walking tour. more »
So, What
The short answer: Lots and lots of things to get tails a-waggin!  Start off with a romp at Baldwin Dog Park or the Paw Patch dog park in 126-acre Newhall Community Park, then hit the trails at one of the East Bay Regional Park District preserves just minutes away. more »
