Keeping Life Wild Since 1955!

Lindsay started with local businessman Alexander “Sandy” Lindsay teaching neighborhood children about local animals has grown into one of Walnut Creek’s oldest and longest running community organizations. We’ve been exhibiting animal-like behavior for 60 years! None of this would be possible without the tremendous support from the community over the last 60 years! This festival and open house is a way for Lindsay to say thank you. So please come and enjoy a day at Lindsay & Larkey Park!
