Quality of Life
Walnut Creek has exceptional balance: Open space, residential areas, an active business and
commercial community, parks, entertainment, and recreation. No age group dominates. It is a
comfortable city with apartment complexes, condominiums, single family dwellings, and multi
acre ranch estates. Senior Citizens can find housing close to Walnut Creek’s downtown and
their community center offers a great many activities. Rossmoor, Northern California’s largest
community for people fifty-five and older, boasts a population of over eight thousand in its
beautiful secluded valley. Representative officers of large national corporations exist beside
local professionals and retail businesses in downtown. Business areas are distinct from residential
areas, yet close enough for convenient shopping, commuting, dining, and entertainment.
Massive Mt. Diablo dominates the local landscape. Its lovely grassy slopes and the other
undeveloped ridges that help separate the city from surrounding communities are eloquent
inspiration for Walnut Creek’s long standing commitment to open space. In fact, the city’s
2,500 acres of open space may be the most per capita for any urban community in the United
States. In 1989, Walnut Creek was the first California Community to receive the National
Conference of Mayors’ City Livability Award for a city less the 100,000. Livable is an apt
description for Walnut Creek, where residents and visitors can take advantage of so many
amenities.

Early risers breakfast in cafes and coffee shops where they chat with regulars or network with
business associates. Shoppers can choose from numerous downtown shops, boutiques, and
department stores at Broadway Plaza, or Plaza Escuela, Arron Brothers, World Market, and
more than a dozen other stores, Whole Foods and other convenient neighborhood shopping
centers, are also abundant
When you tire of Shopping, Walnut Creek offers over one hundred restaurants of almost any
style of food imaginable.
Local outdoor enthusiasts have a wide choice of trails and open spaces where they can jog,
bicycle, hike, or even ride horses. The climate, generally warm and comfortable, allows people
to get out and enjoy Walnut Creek almost any time of year.

Years ago, Walnut Creek made a commitment to provide the kinds of activities and services
that would benefit the entire community. Today, tennis, swimming, softball, and other sports are
available at municipal parks. Extensive educational programs provide continuing education
for both adults and children. Yet the city provides these amenities in such a way that much of
it pays for itself through fees, volunteerism, and careful planning.
Excellent educational programs in public and private schools, plus diverse recreational
opportunities, reflect a strong commitment to the youth of the community. The Regional Center
for the Arts, completed in 1991, enriches the community with concerts, dance and dramatic
productions. The Lindsay Museum has a modern facility where it will continue to care for
injured and sick wildlife and educate the community about their splendid natural surroundings.
Joining the Lindsay Museum in their concern for animals is the Animal Rescue Foundation in
Shade-land’s Business Park.
For those who need more variety, San Francisco or the world famous Napa Valley wine region
are less than an hour away. Just a couple of hours drive to the east, spectacular Lake Tahoe
and the historic gold country in the Sierra Foothills, offer still more recreational diversion, as
well as some of the most beautiful scenery found in the country.

The Hub
Walnut Creek is the crossroads where major ground transportation links intersect in Contra
Costa County. Physically distinct from its immediate neighbors, Walnut Creek is conveniently
close to San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento and the East Bay Area. It is also home to corporate,
professional and retail businesses that provide employment for tens of thousand of residents of
Contra Costa and surrounding counties.
From its very beginning as “The Corners” Walnut Creek has been a critical intersection for
routes from San Francisco to Sacramento and San Jose to Martinez. In 1849 when William
Slusher built his home on the bank of “Nuts Creek” (currently the site of the Broadway Plaza
Parking Garage) the Corners became the collection and transshipment point for wheat grown
in the Diablo and San Ramon Valleys, once the “bread-basket” of the Bay Area.
Walnut Creek was formally named when the first U.S. Post Office was established in 1862. It
was not until October 21, 1914, that the original town and surrounding area of five hundred
acres were incorporated as the eighth city in Contra Costa County. Growth was slow and
steady in the early decades, and with the advent of irrigation to the valleys around town, fruit
trees gradually replaced wheat as the primary cash crop. Walnut Creek Served as a social and
religious center for the surround farm lands.

Walnut Creek has managed to retain its character by setting strict standards for development.
Strong design review focuses emphasis on landscaping and the preservation of open space. The
city has been the vanguard of urban development in terms of architectural control since 1971,
when it adopted its first General Plan.
Anticipating rapid commercial and residential growth, the
General Plan emphasized development in the downtown
core area and enabled the building of major office and retail
structures within specific boundaries. By keeping these business
developments within certain areas, the ordinance prevented
indiscriminate urban sprawl and allowed residential areas to
remain quiet and retain their essential character.
Walnut Creek’s commitment to planned development
continues today. Growth management issues continue to
dominate political discussion, as commercial building, traffic,
and regional development affect all areas of the county.
In recent years, new office complexes have emerged to provide
ample space for businesses that have chosen to settle in Walnut Creek, for both its proximity to
the Greater Bay Area and its broad array of amenities. Walnut Creek’s rich history, excellent
quality of live, commitment to the arts, and successful business climate all contribute to its role
as the economic and cultural hub of the East Bay.

museum has educated and entertained Walnut Creek residents and visitors. Its Wildlife
Rehabilitation Department cares for injured and orphaned wild animals, and it is not unusual
to watch a museum attendant spray a red tailed hawk and a barn owl with water to keep them
cool on a hot summer day. The Lindsay Museum has moved into a new facility with an
expanded exhibit hall, a state of the art wildlife hospital, a community hall, and classrooms.
The museum welcomes inquiries about its programs and membership.

Old Borges Ranch
Phone: (925) 943-5860
The former ranch of early Walnut Creek pioneer Frank Borges is the home base of Walnut
Creek’s Shell Ridge Open Space activities. It is listed on the National Register of Historic
Places. The Borges family home, built in 1901, houses historical displays of turn-of-thecentury life.
Francisco (Frank) Broges was only 17 when he hopped a train to California, drawn by colorful
stories of Cowboys and vast ranches. He arrived in Vacaville and became a cowboy at the
Chandler Ranch. There he met Mary Vieira, a cook at the Chandler home. They married in
1888, moved to Elmira and started a store there with Mary’s brothers Manuel and Joe.
In 1899, Mary became ill with malaria. As a result, she suffered from chills and high fevers. A
doctor advised the family to move to a milder climate. Frank became interested in some land in
the Concord hills which a friend suggested might have a climate better for Mary’s health. On a
trip to San Francisco, Frank stopped and saw the land and knew it was perfect for raising both
his family and healthy cattle. He bought 700 acres at $4.50 per acre from the Union Savings
Bank.
With only one wagonload of household goods and a handful of orphaned calves, the Borges
family arrived at their new ranch. The only building was a three sided cabin nestled in a grove
of apricot trees. The family lived in the cabin until, 1901, then moved into the redwood house
which still stands today. Since then, Borges Ranch has gone from being a successful cattle
ranch to the preserved historical site it is today.
www.PlacerTitle.com
12
Today Borges Ranch is a ranger station, maintenance facility and ranger residence. The ranch
is also home to numerous animals cared for by the Pleasant Hill 4-H, including goats, sheep,
pigs and chickens. The cattle you’ll see belong to a local rancher who leases grazing rights for
the Shell Ridge open space.
An Environmental/Living History Program is offered at the ranch for school aged children,
college and civic groups to provide a hands-on ranching experience Tuesday through Thursday.
Call (925) 942-0225.
The ranch area is open for viewing daily from 8 a.m. to sunset. Self guided tour brochures are
available.
Dogs are permitted but must be leashed at all times. Pets are not permitted at programs, tours
or events.

1500 Bancroft Road
(925) 210-9663
www.ruthbancroftgarden.org
Preserving an exceptional example of American Garden design, the Ruth Bancroft Garden
Demonstrates the beauty and excitement possible in a water-conserving landscape. Internationally
recognized as one of the finest private gardens in North America, the garden was the first in the
United States to be sponsored by The Garden Conservancy.
The Ruth Bancroft Garden is part of what was once the Bancroft Farm, a 400 acre property
bought by publisher Hubert Howe Bancroft in the 1880’s to grow pears and walnuts.
In the 1940’s his grandson Phillip and Phillip’s wife Ruth took over the property.
In the 1950’s Ruth Bancroft brought home a single succulent plant, a hybrid aeonium grown by
Ms. Glenn Davidson. This formed a nucleus for what became an extensive collection of cacti
and succulents. In 1972, the collection had grown beyond the space available to house it. Philip
Bancroft offered Ruth a three acre orchard, filled with dying walnut Trees, as a site for a
succulent garden.
Ruth, then in her 60’s, seized this opportunity. She enlisted Lester Hawkins, co-owner of the
Western Hills Nursery, to design the garden beds. Ruth herself designed the Folly and chose
the plants. All the plants in the Garden were planted out from one gallon or smaller containers.
By trial and error, Ruth discovered how each species grows, and which texture and color
combinations were most effective.
www.PlacerTitle.com
14
In 1988, The Garden was chosen as the first garden to be sponsored by The Garden Conservancy,
an organization dedicated to preserving outstanding examples of private gardens. Today, with
many mature specimens, the Garden is an outstanding example of using xerophytes (dry-growing
plants) in the landscape. The garden also houses important collections of aloes, agaves, yuccas,
and echeverias. Aeonium “Glenn Davidson” the first succulent in Ruth’s collection, is still
growing in the Garden.
The Ruth Bancroft Garden rose above the status of a collection to become a preeminent
demonstration of the art of garden design. Working primarily with dramatic forms of her beloved
succulents, Mrs. Bancroft has created bold and varied compositions in which the colors, textures,
and patterns of foliage provide a setting for the sparkle of floral color.
Hours are 1:00 pm the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month.
Reservations are required and there is a $5.00 per person entry fee
Members are admitted free.

Shadelands Ranch Historical Museum
(925) 935-7871
In the mid 1960’s local historian Isabelle Spencer Brubaker proposed to the Walnut Creek
Women’s Club the idea of forming a local historical society. The first meeting of the Walnut
Creek Historical Society was held November 06,1967, and a Charter Night banquet was held
February 14,1968. In November 1970, the Gospel Foundation of California gave to the City of
Walnut Creek the remaining one and one-half acres of the former Hiram Penniman ranch,
including the 1903 family house, at 2660 Ygnacio Valley Road. Mary Liddecoat, director of
the Gospel Foundation, suggested the house be used as a historical museum. The historical
society was given permission by the City to use the property for such a purpose, and the
Shadelands Ranch Historical Museum was officially opened November 18,1972.
Built by Walnut Creek pioneer Hiram Penniman, this 1903 redwood-framed house is a showcase
for numerous historical artifacts, many of which belonged to the Pennimans. It also houses a rich
archive of Contra Costa and Walnut Creek history in its collections of old newspaper, photographs
and government records. The museum is on the National Register of Historic Places and belongs
to the City, but is operated by the Walnut Creek Historical Society.
