Top 5 Things to Do in Brentwood If You have Extra Time
Top 5 things to do in Brentwood if you have extra time
Veterans park – If you have an extra 30 minutes before heading back to school or you find yourself with a free Saturday, there is nothing like strolling through Veterans park in Brentwood, CA. The park has something for everyone in the family. From the park’s veteran memorials to the park’s skate and water attractions you could easily waste a few hours relaxing at Veterans park. There is plenty of open grass, so if you want something to do while the kids are at the skate park, why not grab a soccer ball and net?
Take a Harvest Time Tour – No other program quite displays the true essence of Brentwood than the local U-Pick program. It’s easy to waste a whole day, while filling up on local fruits and veggies, during a tour of the local farms. The hours of each farm varies, but the farmers are usually out in force at the Downtown Historic Brentwood Farmers market held on most Saturdays during the summer season. Not only are the local fruits and veggies delicious, but for the photographers in the crowd the farms offer some great pictures.
Take a Hike up Mount Diablo – Here’s a plan of attack…lose that extra holiday flab before the season gets here. Mount Diablo not only offers spectacular views, but the hike to the top is said to actually increase your life span by years. It’s rumored that on a very clear day you can see all the way to Yosemite’s half dome. Be sure to check with the local parks department for campground locations and historical hiking attractions.
Volunteer to clean up Marsh Creek – It’s remarkable that even within 50 minutes of downtown San Francisco, people form groups to help keep the local creek clean. The friends of Marsh Creek spend many weekends out picking up trash from the local Brentwood watering hole. If you have a free Saturday, why not help keep Brentwood clean while getting a healthy dose of Vitamin D from the sunlight?
Attend a local Heritage Football Game – With the Patriot team this year one of the best ever in the school’s history watching the kids pound the gridiron on a Friday night is totally invigorating. Just spend one night watching them play and you will spend off game hours surfing all of Maxpreps.com’s game statistics.
