Announcement information, photo submitted by East Bay Regional Park District:

In conjunction with the Tri-Valley Conservancy and the East Bay Regional Park District, the Livermore Area Recreation and Park District will hold a Dedication Ceremony at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, March 21.

The new trail extension allows for a trail connector from Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area to Del Valle Regional Park via the newly added 72 acres of Sycamore Grove property. This trail segment completes a critical gap connecting Sycamore Grove and Del Valle.

Accomplished through collaboration among public agencies and nonprofit organizations, this trail will increase recreation opportunities for the local community and visitors to the Tri-Valley. The land is preserved thanks to funds received from Coastal Conservancy, TVC, EBRPD, LARPD, Alameda County, City of Livermore and Sierra Club. These partners strive to create local trail networks that provide additional access points to the regional parklands and trails in order to offer loop trail experiences and to connect this community with the regional system.

The Dedication Ceremony will be held at the Campfire Area at Sycamore Grove Park, with free parking in the lot at 5049 Arroyo Road. The public is invited to attend this celebration. Refreshments will be served, and Chief Ranger Pat Sotelo will lead an inaugural trail hike on LARPD’s quarter-mile portion of trail.
