Please note that the Grove of Old Trees is a very small privately maintained public park down a narrow rural road in the middle of a neighborhood. The Grove has just one small parking lot and there is no street parking allowed for the safety of residents and visitors. There are no bathrooms at the Grove and no running water. If you are looking for a grand, accessible redwood experience in Sonoma County, please consider visiting Armstrong Woods State Park in Guerneville, which has much more acreage, parking, and facilities. Riverfront Regional Park also has a lovely, small redwood grove with plenty of parking and facilities.
