Farmer's Market - Every Sunday - 8am to 1pm
Every Sunday, in every type of weather, you can meander through the
town's Farmer's Market at Town Plaza Park. It's a great place to get
wonderful produce and flowers and meals/snacks too. (The crepes are
fabulous.) Dogs are NOT allowed into the stalls area but may be in the
park, adjacent to the action.

and small fish and offering spectauclar scenery and views, Belgatos Park is a wonderful place to spend time! The park also connects to the Heinz Open Space Preserve (behind the newer Summerhill Development off Blossom Hill Road just to the west of the Belgatos area) and also to the Santa Rosa Open Space area (at the top of the hill - you can also get close to there by driving to the top of Harwood Road), so your hiking which begins at Belgatos can be quite extensive. .jpg)
