Contra Loma Regional Park, Regional park in Antioch, California.
Contra Loma Regional Park is a regional park in Antioch featuring a reservoir surrounded by hiking trails and open spaces for outdoor recreation. The area provides multiple access points around the water body with paths suitable for different activity levels.
The land was once used for farming before becoming a public recreation area in the 20th century. It is now managed by the East Bay Regional Park District as a community resource.
The park maintains educational programs about local ecosystems, offering guided nature walks and environmental workshops throughout the seasons for community engagement.
A permit is required for fishing activities, and the reservoir holds several fish species for anglers to pursue. Early mornings or late afternoons offer the most comfortable visiting conditions, especially during warmer months.
The reservoir functions as both a recreational destination and a critical water management infrastructure for the surrounding area. Visitors often overlook how their leisure activities coexist with the operational needs of regional water systems.
