Serene refuge for wildlife and urban dwellers
Anthony Chabot Regional Park is a 3,314-acre greenbelt that provides a near-wilderness experience mere minutes from the largest cities in the San Francisco Bay Area's East Bay. A centerpiece property of the East Bay Regional Park District, Chabot offers a wide array of recreational opportunities. its diverse habitats, redwood groves among them, constitute a haven for wildlife. Chabot supports an impressive number of charismatic species, including black-tailed deer, coyote, bobcat, gray fox and cougar. Birds are abundant, and the park is a favorite venue for local birders during the fall and spring songbird migrations. Further, Chabot is a refuge for people as much as wildlife. its serenity and natural splendor allow visitors to decompress after negotiating the rigors and stresses of the Bay Area's intensely urban landscapes.
