Information about Yountville Park...

On Washington Street at the north end of town, just across the street from the Napa Valley Lodge
Yountville Park is a very popular place for picnics (and post-hot air balloon flight champagne brunches) and one of the best parks around for kids, boasting a unique assortment of play equipment.

Across the street from the park is Pioneer Cemetery and the grave of George Yount, first settler in the valley and the founder of Yountville (although he called it "Sebastopol", overlooking the fact that Sonoma County already had a town of that name).

Yountville is first and foremost a place to eat and shop, but there's plenty to do, too. You'll find the Napa Valley Museum, historical landmarks, and a variety of events throughout the year. Of course the major event occurs nearly every morning when brightly-colored hot air balloons take off from nearby launching areas.
