About Roberts Regional Recreation Area
An 87-acre redwood grove on Skyline Boulevard, popular for family and group picnics. Source
Early in 1979 Roberts became the first park in the two county Regional Park District to be "adopted" by a local industry. An ongoing partnership was formed with Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corporation, tapping the financial and human resources of the worldwide, Oakland based firm to assure the continued operation of this popular urban parkland.
