The dogs and I are avid park visitors. Join us as we document our wanderings, mostly in northern California. We visit all jurisdictions -- United States National Parks, State Parks, County, Regional and City Parks -- we love open spaces!

City of San Rafael: Freitas Park


Steve was visiting in Kaiser Hospital, San Rafael, this morning so Youngest Daughter and I tagged along.  Adjacent to the hospital parking lot is Freitas Park, a lovely neighborhood space with 3.8 acres.

Brix and Demi were with us as we followed a footpath to the ridge running along the top of a steep hill and hiked our way across and back down. With such a small area we didn't exactly rack up miles and miles, but it was enough to get our blood stirring and our heart rates moving faster.

We saw one squirrel and disturbed a flock of birds, but we couldn't identify the two-toed footprints on the ridge, the ones the dogs were tracking with their noses while we followed with our eyes.
