Sebastopol's big regional park pairs a full-service picnic ground (grills, four reservable group sites, playground, tennis and sand volleyball) with oak meadows and creekside trails. Unlike the county's river beaches, it has no posted alcohol ban, which makes it one of the easiest public places in west county to open a bottle with lunch.
