Country Manor Park is a small park in Antioch that I used to frequent as a kid. Before I actually lived in the Bay Area, my Dad would take my siblings and I here to watch the fireworks on top of the hill when we would come to visit. It became somewhat of a ritual when I moved to Antioch, and our family friends would join us here to watch the Fireworks on the Fourth of July and sometimes on New Years Eve. I started coming here on my own with my friends when I was in high school and it became our little hangout spot. Fast forward to today, and this park still offers an amazing viewpoint of the Antioch Bridge, Mount Diablo, and the city of Antioch itself. Every so often, I would take a trip down memory lane and drive down to this park to take a walk and to enjoy the view on top of the hill. I will admit that it's been too many years too long since I've visited this park, but I'm glad that I made a stop here recently. Aside from the wonderful viewpoint, the park offers a nice playground for young kids to enjoy, a paved path for walking your dogs (or just for yourself), a large grassy field, and even a batting cage and dugout for hosting baseball and softball games. There are a few benches and tables along the path and one barbecue pit at the opposite end of the parking lot. The park itself is very peaceful and it has never been crowded during the many years that I have come here. There is a small parking lot that rarely ever gets full and ample street parking as it is located in a residential area off of Asilomar Drive. They also have restrooms but they were closed during my most recent visit due to maintenance. The paved path circles around the field, but it connects to another path that will lead you on a trail behind another residential area. To access the view point, you can take the narrow dirt trail next to the batting cage that will lead you up to the top of the hill. There is one part of the trail that is extremely muddy because of all of the rain and should be proceeded with caution as slipping can be possible. The hill is a short walk up but very steep. The views are totally worth the trek up to the top! Usually this area is pretty well maintained, but it was really grassy when I last visited. I hold this little park near and dear to my heart. It's always nostalgic for me when I do come to visit, even after years of not going. It's a great place to go if you're looking for a local park to take your dog for a walk, your children out to play, or even just to relax and take in the wonderful views on top of the hill.

Park for field games. No basketball court, which I originally came here for but No worries, you can still get your cardio in with walking the long trails once or twice.

Nice park if your looking to go for a jog or take your dog for a walk because it has a very large grass area with a walking trail around it. I have noticed that the grass area is often used for soccer games on the weekends so If you are looking forward to any activities that require using the lawn I would go on a weekday afternoon. The playground is small and basic. It has a climbling structure with a couple slides but no swings. Overall it's a good park! The one issue I have is at the back of the walking path by the BBQ pits there is a another trail that leads to the back entrance. It's a very long walk to the exit and it's very secluded and overgrown I wouldn't recommend using that entrance but that's just me. Also the parking lot is small and often I see people park there to engage in illegal activity but I personally have never had and problems.
