Contra Costa Plein Air and Jade Fon Paint-Out
Saturday, October 4, 10 am - 2 pm
Sycamore Grove Park
Plan A: 1051 Wetmore Road, Livermore CA 94550
Plan B: Arroyo Road Entrance, 5049 Arroyo Road

Let's go back to beautiful Sycamore Grove Park! We'll be parking at the Wetmore Road entrance at 1051 Wetmore Road. If the Wetmore lot happens to be full when you get there you can head up to the other park entrance at 5049 Arroyo Road. 

Starting from the Wetmore parking lot you have a couple of choices: To the left, the Sycamore Trail has views of vineyards and the hills beyond. To the right, the Arroyo Del Valle Regional Trail passes through groves of sycamores and oaks out to open grassland and more vineyard views.

There's a $5 parking fee at both park entrances (Wetmore and Arroyo), restrooms are open, rain cancels. I hope to see you there!
