Walnut Creek

Walnut Creek occupies a valley at the foot of Mount Diablo in California’s East Bay. The city developed along Walnut Creek, a watercourse that runs through its centre before joining the larger network of streams draining toward Suisun Bay. Downtown combines retail streets, restaurants and the Lesher Center for the Arts, a major local venue for theatre, music and exhibitions. Nearby, the Ruth Bancroft Garden preserves an influential collection of dry-climate plants begun by its namesake horticulturist in the 1950s. Mount Diablo State Park adds a distinctly open, oak-dotted counterpoint to the urban setting. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Walnut Creek and the East Bay.
