Review:
Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area is a public park on the border of Pleasanton and Livermore that forms part of the East Bay Regional Parks system. Once a former gravel quarry, the U.S. Bureau of Outdoor Recreation converted to old quarry into an 80-acre recreational park with a lake, picnic facilities and large parking lot. The lake features a sandy beach and supports fishing, recreational boating, and year-round swimming, and there is a small refreshment stand on the beach during the summer months. An Interpretive Center offers information on the park, and there is ample free parking for visitors in a large parking lot.
