Alviso Adobe Community Park, Pleasanton CA

I absolutely love this location for my photography sessions, especially during the fall. The building, cactus plants, cute little bridge are some of my favorite spots to take pictures. You will usually find at least 1 or 2 photographers there all the time during peak seasons.

Quiet place. Free entrance and you will learn so much history about Pleasanton and the changing landscape of California. It is also pet friendly and have plenty of exhibits for kids.

I love this little park for photoshoots! It has quite a bit of variety from trees, to cite Adobe buildings, a little bridge and of course some cactus. There’s a lot of backdrops to work with. This park can get busy with other photographers in the morning and evening.

Parking lot is good but due to construction there's a bit of confusion when you drive here.

A bit of history from the Amador Valley's past. Nice interpretive center with local nature and history exhibits.

Great hiking trails. Steady 2 mile climb, them a big loop or several smaller loops. Lots of wildlife out and about in the early morning hours.

A nice park to see and walk around and it is great place to take some good photos and portraits in a natural backdrop

Great location for photoshoots! This property really showcases the local charm/colors! Unfortunately due to the pandemic everything was closed up but I hope to return to this historic charm and explore soon.

Little gem hidden in the foothills of Pleasanton by the side of 680. Great scenic and historical place for taking a stroll.

It's small but seems like a good resource for people curious about the areas history and nature. Grounds are nice and there is a good trail nearby.
