Seen from the air, the oval at Ygnacio Valley Park looks like it might have been plucked right out of the Melbourne suburbs. But from the ground, the east bay home of the GGAFL has a slight bowl shape. The result is an elevated area giving spectators a clear view of the large playing surface. Spectators were there in numbers when the league played here for the first time in the 2002 Grand Final, won by the San Jose Hornets.

To find Ygnacio Valley Park, take Interstate 680 to Treat Blvd between Walnut Creek and Concord. Follow Treat east awhile until you find Oak Grove Road and turn left. A short distance further and you will find the park on your right.
