Garin Regional Park
About
Garin Regional Park is a park managed by the East Bay Regional Park District, about 2.2 miles from Union City, California. It serves as a hub for a cluster of hiking trails that start within a short distance of one another, making it a practical base for choosing a walk of the length that suits you. The mildest stretch of the year typically runs from late spring into early fall. Typical averages from the Hayward Air Terminal weather station, about 5.5 miles away and at 43 feet elevation, show highs in the mid-70s from June through September, with little or no rain. Winter brings highs near 59°F and around 10 wet days a month in December and January. The station sits low, so expect temperatures on higher ground in the park to run cooler. Newt Pond Trail lies just 0.3 miles away, and the Ukraina Loop Trail, Bailey Ranch Trail and Ridge View Trail are all within about a mile. For time on the water, Arroyo de la Laguna offers canoeing about 7.2 miles away.
