West Commons Park, Moraga
The new open space next to the Harvest Court development off Camino Ricardo in Moraga is now open. On the other side is Moraga Commons Park and the open space has been renamed, West Commons Park. As you can see in the photos after the jump there is an open space meadow, walking paths, four interpretative signs, and one picnic table. Currently it’s not possible to enter via Camino Ricardo so park in the Moraga Commons parking lot and cross Moraga Rd. to get in. When I dropped by over the weekend I even saw someone fishing for trout over the bridge.
