Hanns Park

Natural Landscape

Tucked off Redwood Parkway, Hanns Park is one of those serene locations that offers the perfect blend of woodsy vibes and open spaces. It's part of the Blue Rock Springs linear parkway, with a trail that runs alongside a creek - nice for a hike or bike ride when you want to get outdoors.

If you're into wildlife spotting, keep your eyes peeled! The park attracts a variety of birds, and if you're really lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the resident peacocks strutting their stuff. It's refreshing to find this forest spot right in the middle of the city.

Recreational Facilities

The picnic areas are located within a Eucalyptus grove that provides good shade. They're relatively secluded and quiet compared to more crowded parks.

The park also features open grassy areas that are meant for everything from a casual frisbee toss to an impromptu yoga session. And if you're looking to get your steps in, the network of walking trails offers options for everyone, whether you're after a leisurely stroll or trying to hit your cardio goals.

Disc Golf

A notable feature of Hanns Park is its disc golf course, which is well-regarded in the Bay Area. With nine tee pads and three basket positions on every hole, it offers incredible variety that keeps even regular players coming back for more.

The course cleverly utilizes the park's natural landscape, weaving through both open meadows and wooded sections with gentle elevation changes. Those uphill shots will test your skills if you're experienced, while newcomers to the sport can still find accessible paths to enjoy.

The local disc golf community deserves a shoutout for maintaining the course so beautifully year-round. Many disc golf players regularly visit to play on this course with its attractive natural setting.

Community Amenities

The park's amphitheater adds a cool cultural dimension to the space, hosting everything from community gatherings to performances. It's these kinds of spaces that really bring neighbors together.

You'll find restrooms conveniently located near the parking area, and the picnic sections come equipped with BBQ facilities. Just a heads-up though - yellow jackets can make an appearance during warmer months, so keep your picnic goodies covered.

Dog owners, rejoice! Your four-legged friends are welcome on the trails, however you should check if there are any restricted areas. The paths connect to a nearby dog park, giving your pup even more options to burn off energy.

Hanns Park balances natural areas with recreational facilities. If you visit in the early morning, you'll find it especially quiet and well-maintained.
