This park is a trip back in time with its lush green forests, the pastoral farm, and the larger-than-life mansion: Patterson House. Take a tour of the house and learn more about its origin and the legendary George Washington Patterson. Explore old relics as you learn more about the architecture of Patterson's times and learn the way of life. Avail of the fresh produce served at the onsite café and eatery and walk away with sweet memories of a time gone by. Buy organic farm produce or simply catch nature at its best at the giant farm as you commune with the animals or stroll along the garden or the dewy woods. Catch the blacksmith at work and be enthralled by the work of art, attend the entrancing puppet show, or gift yourself a train ride through the estate. The farm makes for an ideal venue for hosting private events, weddings, and receptions. Special events are organized at the park throughout the year.
Ohlone Wilderness Regional Preserve spans 9,737 acres and is named after the indigenous Ohlone people who once inhabited the region. Hikers and backpackers can explore a network of scenic trails, which vary in difficulty, providing options for both beginners and seasoned trekkers. One of the highlights of the preserve is the Ohlone Wilderness Trail, a challenging trek that connects Sunol to Del Valle Regional Park. The preserve's diverse ecosystems make it a haven for wildlife and a delight for those interested in biodiversity. Additionally, the Sunol Visitor Center serves as a valuable resource for information on the area's history, geology, and wildlife.
