Decent little park with a moderately sized open field and a nice little creek below. Gets a little buggy down there, and a little busy everywhere else. The park is fine, and there’s nice sun on most days, but the real problem is the Berkeley parents and their kids.The screaming never stops! From the parents, and the kids! Good googly moogly it’s relentless! I couldn’t enjoy the day out here because every single moment was bombarded by the whines and yelps of entitled techy spawn!Continue at your own risk...

Quiet park in middle of busy city. Natural small river, small bridge cross it. Trees, forest, shades and sunny grass land, really good

Quiet park setting with trees and lawn and benches surrounded by residential areas. Good for picnics, frisbee and reading.

This is a wonderful park with a public toilet. There is a fenced-off area for little children, an area for older children, basketball and tennis courts. The building hosts exercise classes, plays, and is a voting station. To the north of the playground area are picnic tables shaded by trees next to a creek and a large, sloped grassy area for games, activities, etc. There are also special events there: fairs, plays, etc.

It was a great day for a walk. Ive walked the Ohlone trails before and coming across that waterfall was breathe-taking. I wish it extended further and it would look extra gorgeous fish in it. Its a great little reservoir to protect and nuture. Beautiful area to sit alone or with a loved one and talk or read.

Lots of shady nooks plus some wide open grass for picnicking. Not really suitable for sports so if theyre not what youre after this park is ideal.

Great place to enjoy a beautiful day. Run free on the grass or explore the creek you might just catch some crawdads. If it is hot enough you might be lucky and catch the neighborhood kids selling lemonade in front of the basketball courts

Great place to relax on a sunny day. Plenty of shade and spaces for grilling parties. Theres a small creek running through it that is safe for kids to explore. On the other side, there are tennis courts and a small playground. As well as an intimate theater for plays and activities.

Review №48

Very dangerous place lots of drug dealers, and little evil elves with pointy Little Boots and sharp little stabbing daggers attacking your ankles everywhere you go. Stay away. Also watch out for the loose pit bulls and broken glass. Never recovered from the MRSA epidemic there in the 2000s

Courts are okay, but it doesnt matter because there is almost never an open court there. Unless you are planning to play tennis in the middle of the night, dont go there.
