Trail- related activities include walking, hiking, jogging, running, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Recreational trails may provide multiple benefits including access to vista points, fishing, and picnic areas, and enjoyment of the natural environment, wildlife, and solitude. Although many are not fully improved, open-space trails hold the potential for walking - along with bicycling and/or horseback riding, where allowed - throughout the undeveloped portions of the Planning Area. The City provides trails in a number of open space lands, including within the Callippe Preserve Open Space, the Gold Creek Open Space, and in the Augustin Bernal Park, all described above. The City has easements for other open space trails not only on public land but also on private open space at The Preserve and the Moller Ranch developments. The City and East Bay Regional Park District provide a system of interconnecting trails within the Pleasanton Ridge, south from Dublin Canyon Road to the East Bay Regional Park District staging area on Foothill Road. Trails crisscross within this area connecting to other open space trails including the Augustin Bernal Park public staging area. These trails provide public access to the developed and undeveloped areas of the PIeasanton Ridge. The General Plan designates land adjacent to several watercourses - the Arroyo del Valle, Arroyo Mocho, Alamo Canal, and Arroyo de la Laguna - as Wildlands Overlay /Public Health and Safety.
