Knoll Park

A Peaceful Retreat

Tucked away at the intersection of Country Hills Drive and Valley Way in Antioch, California, Knoll Park offers 5 acres of tranquil green space that feels like a breath of fresh air from suburban life. This neighborhood green strikes that perfect balance with its shady tree-covered spots and sunny open areas, so you can find your ideal spot whether you're looking to escape the heat or soak up some vitamin D.

Winding Trails & Green Spaces

Feel like stretching your legs? The park's well-maintained walking paths meander through lush greenery, ideal for a morning stroll or an afternoon amble. There's something calming about following these paths as they curve through the park's landscape. The generous grassy areas provide plenty of room to throw down a blanket for an impromptu picnic or toss a frisbee around with friends.

Picnic Perfect

Dotted around the park are several picnic tables that make outdoor dining a breeze. Planning a weekend cookout? The grilling areas have got you covered. You can bring your supplies and enjoy a meal surrounded by nature.

Practical Matters

When nature calls, you'll come across restroom facilities conveniently located near the road and parking area. While they serve their purpose, do keep in mind that conditions can vary.
