Tour Overview
Sausal Creek winds its way through this dramatic canyon that has seen over a thousand years of human activity. As Europeans moved into the area and displaced the native Ohlone from their land, the area now known as Dimond Park went through several iterations as a recreation area, a Boy Scout camp, and eventually the public park you're here to enjoy right now. This tour will focus on the lower region of the park and cover its flora, fauna, history, and the restoration efforts of tireless volunteers who dedicate themsevles to this particular watershed.
