Diablo Vista Park Renovation

Diablo Vista Park is one of Danville’s five beloved community parks. Residents often refer to this park as “snake park” for the distinguishing serpent feature in the children’s playground. It is accessible from both Crow Canyon Road along its western frontage and along Tassajara Ranch Drive along its northern frontages and set against the backdrop of open space and West Alamo Creek along its eastern boundary.

This capital improvement project initially incorporated both a playground renovation and incorporation of a multi-sport skate park. Due to rising construction costs post-pandemic, the project budget was not sufficient to support both projects at the bid amounts received (see updates below). The playground portion of the project moved forward in mid-2025.

At its completion, the integrated recreational space will be able to accommodate a wide range of ages, abilities, and unstructured play. The overarching goal is to create a public use for essential community connection and interaction.

Background

Play area renovations are a routine part of the Town’s 5-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) efforts. The park features are a direct outcome of the 2017 Parks, Recreation and Arts Strategic Plan that looked at a broad spectrum of community needs, and the result of a feasibility analysis and extensive feedback from Danville residents and facility users during a public process that spanned over two years, from late 2017 to late 2019. Information on this effort is available in this project’s document library.
