Roddy Ranch Golf Course was a 230-acre, 18-hole course located off Deer Valley Road at the south end of Antioch, CA. The East Bay Regional Park District is developing a Habitat Restoration and Public Access Plan to restore native grassland habitat and include paths and facilities for passive public recreation, such as walking, jogging, and picnicking. The former golf course property will be a part of the larger 3,500-acre future Deer Valley Regional Park. The planning process to open the former golf course as a park is expected to take 18 months.
The Acquisition, Stewardship, and Development Division oversees land acquisition with the goal of protecting habitat and closing regional trail gaps; developing trails and facilities to make parklands safe and welcoming; and managing natural and cultural resources.

The abundant and diverse assortment of birds, mammals, reptiles, and invertebrates that dwell in the regional parks is an integral part of the ecology of the San Francisco Bay Area and an aesthetic natural feature of the parks that visitors greatly enjoy.
Coyotes, bobcats, deer, elk, wild pigs, and mountain lions are occasionally spotted in the parks.
When planning your hike, consider your physical condition, the length of the trail and level of difficulty, and the predicted weather conditions. You can shorten or lengthen your planned route to meet your ability or to accommodate the weather.
