Iron Horse Park

Iron Horse Park is an 18-acre public park located on Solano Way between Hilltop Road and Olivera Road in Concord, California. The park is part of the larger Iron Horse Regional Trail system, which follows the former Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way established in 1891 and abandoned in 1978.

The park serves as a key access point to the Iron Horse Regional Trail, a multi-use path that stretches approximately 32 miles from Concord to Pleasanton. This trail connection makes Iron Horse Park an important recreational hub for walkers, joggers, cyclists, and other outdoor enthusiasts.

One of the notable features of Iron Horse Park is its bocce courts, which provide visitors with an opportunity to engage in this traditional Italian ball sport. The park also offers picnic facilities, making it a suitable location for family gatherings or community events.

Iron Horse Park's location along the regional trail system allows it to serve as a connector between residential areas, commercial zones, and other community facilities. This strategic position enhances its value as a public space, providing both recreational opportunities and practical transportation links for local residents.
