The 2007 picnic at Alvarado Park

The annual picnic is held at Alvarado area of Wildcat Canyon Regional Park in Richmond California. The park’s rustic charm is a delight, with handmade stone walls, bridges and decorative pillars surrounded by graceful oaks and bays. The picnic area where we meet once contained a roller rink.
