A network of trails is growing in Livermore. Residents can travel through south Livermore and will soon be able to connect to other points in the city and beyond. There are trails to accommodate many types of travelers. You can walk with your family, jog for exercise, ride a horse, ride a bike, walk your dog or skate. Many of these trails connect to and take you through natural areas where you can enjoy colorful spring wildflowers, birds singing or beautiful vistas. You can also travel the trails to reach neighborhood parks, playgrounds and special use parks such as the rodeo grounds and sports fields at Robertson Park, and the skatepark and bicycle stunt course at Sunken Gardens.
