Stern Grove

Stern Grove and Pine Lake Park create a wide corridor of unbroken green in West Portal. Stern Grove is best known for its open air amphitheater which, during the summer, hosts free concerts form local and international musicians. Just beyond, walking trails wind through hillsides filled with eucalyptus trees and a huge lawn for off-leash dog play gives way to the serene Pine Lake. Stone-lined barbeques are tucked away in a small meadow beneath the trees on the east side of the amphitheater and, up the park’s steep hillside, is a full outdoor recreation complex that includes tennis courts and a children’s playground.
