Lafayette, CA Travel, Photos Information and News

Lafayette has really worked hard to acquire parks and recreation space for its residents and visitors, and it has succeeded. While many plans are envisioned to create even more park space, the current assets are considerably greater than just a few decades ago. The city shares some facilities with other cities and towns such as Moraga, where Lafayette chipped in to help build the skate park. When you visit Lafayette or if you live there, you must look at the parks as a conglomerate of park facilities, school playgrounds and fields, and nearby park assets that surround Lafayette. ci.lafayette.ca.us
