Welcome to the beautifull Round Valley Regional Preserve located in the hills outside of Brentwood, California. Park History: This beautiful piece of land has a lot of history, including bedrock that dates back to the Cretaceous Period. The first human inhabitants of this land were various Native American tribes over the centuries and archeologists have discovered many artifacts. In more recent times it was used for ranching and agricultural purposes by an Irish Immigrant by the name of Thomas Murphy. Thomas Murphy's grandson Jim Murphy sold this land to the East Bay Regional Park District in 1988.

Plants and Animals: Round Valley Regional Preserve is an oak forest and savannah park that is home to grass species that include soft chess, silver hairgrass, and wild barleys. The forested sections of the park give home to trees including black oaks and bay laurels. Wild animals such as golden eagles, the endangered San Joaquin kit fox, Pacific tree frogs, deer, western pond turtles, and many others.

For the human visitor Round Valley Regional Preserve has miles of multipurpose trails, over two dozen campsites, beautiful views of the mountains and surrounding region, and much more. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed. Come out and explore!
