Dinosaur Hill Park
- Park
- Pleasant Hill
Dinosaur Hill Park offers a short hillside walk to an overlook above Pleasant Hill.
Views across Contra Costa County toward Mount Diablo give this open landscape a distinct sense of place within the surrounding suburbs.
The photograph shows the actual view toward Mount Diablo from Dinosaur Hill, rather than a view of the park from the mountain. Choose an approach suited to your group and expect exposed slopes with limited shade. Check current district notices for route conditions and access. The Taylor Boulevard parking gate is locked at sunset, so allow enough time to return. Stay on established paths and respect nearby homes.
