Concord Community Park is Concord’s most popular park and draws in residents of all kinds to play and relax. “People play soccer, kids bike around the park and during the summer go to the pool,” says Marina Petrosov, a Realtor with Compass and Concord resident since 2013. Newhall Community Park is just across Clayton Road from Heather Glen, and offers multi-purpose fields, ponds and a dog park. Lime Ridge Open Space, which is less than five miles from Heather Glen, welcomes hikers and bikers looking for some adventure close to home. “We have nice hiking trails and views of Mt. Diablo,” says Petrosov. For a walk close to home, most residents head to Brazil Quarry Park, which is located inside the neighborhood. It’s a small grassy park surrounded by trees, with a playground and walking path.
Spanish-style hacienda buildings with shops and restaurants inside surround Todos Santos Plaza’s grassy recreation area. The architecture hearkens back to Concord’s founding in 1869 by Spanish settlers, and today the plaza is a popular community gathering area “At Todos Santos Plaza we have summer concerts and farmers’ markets. It’s very popular,” says Petrosov. It’s close to the area’s Bay Area Rapid Transit Station, and it’s popular with people all over the region to come by for a weekend out or a quick lunch. On the other side of downtown Concord, The Veranda is another outdoor shopping and dining experience, with restaurants like Yard House, Urban Remedy and Eureka, and shops like Old Navy, Barnes and Noble and T.J. Maxx. People can also grab groceries at Whole Foods Market.
Toyota Pavilion at Concord has been a community staple for live music since 1975. Its 12,000-seat arena welcomes a variety of music genres, and is especially popular during the summer, according to Petrosov.
