The Sunol Regional Wilderness is a regional park in Alameda County, the eastern San Francisco Bay Area, Northern California. It is located near the town of Sunol, south of Pleasanton and east of Fremont.
The 27.74 square kilometres (6,850 acres) park was established in 1962, and is administered by the East Bay Regional Park District. The park is subject to either closure or fire restriction during the wildfire season from June through October.
The park is in the Inner Southern California Coast Ranges. It originally was inhabitated by Native Americans, but was mainly former ranch land, with chaparral, oak woodland, and grassland habitats.
Grazing rights within the park are still leased, so cattle may be encountered.
Common trees in the park include Coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia), Valley oak (Quercus lobata), Blue oak (Quercus douglasii), Mexican elderberry (Sambucus cerulea), Pacific Madrone (Arbutus menziesii) and Gray pine (Pinus sabiniana). Along Alameda Creek, riparian trees include White alder (Alnus rhombifolia), willow species, and California sycamore (Platanus racemosa).
