Great place next to the Bay, we had a picnic, watched families bicycle by, always intriguing to see the boats docked in the harbor. Excellent views across the bay to the Golden gate bridge and the Cityscape.

Great place at the Berkeley Marina to take a walk, a run or biking through this trails or just to sit down at one of the benches and look across the beautiful San Francisco bay.

This is a fun place to visit for great views of the city!And to get chased by the turkeys, if you’re not careful!!Can be very cold and windy. Wear layers.Certainly worth the visit.

A Hidden gem at West Coast Bay Area. Peaceful and relaxing under the trees and nice breeze. A great hangout spot for a quiet talk. A quick shoreline walk with San Francisco city view from afar. Highly recommended for a couple or spot for got a date. Quite to sit, talk and enjoy the view. Come and check it yourself to get full experience.

Amazing view of the San Francisco city from here.Its a nice peaceful place here. Too bad they closed off the pier, as it was nice to go for a walk on the pier (in the past), but in any case, great to enjoy the view and relax in the nice breeze.

This is good for windsurfing. The view of the Bay I a nice, you can see San Francisco from the edge. Be there early for fireworks. It is very nice for picnics, and has an amazing playground. I only wish I had seen the interpretive station indoors - it was closed.

This place is nice with a view of San Francisco and the bay bridge. Grab some food have a smoke, lock your doors and enjoy the scenery. However because of the rats this place can not get 5 stars.

The views here are amazing. At night you can take in all the lights as they dance on the water. Its beautiful. If Youre really lucky you might see a possom and a skunk enjoying a pizza together like we did. Ha

Great place for kids playing, sailing and spending family time. Careful with the squirrels, they are pesky and run around looking for food.

Review №29

The marina has changed drastically since the closing of Hs Lordships. The parking is terrible, very crowded, the loss of over 3/4 of the parking spaces is making a huge negative impact on the enjoyment factor. People are squeezing into small spaces, hitting cars when pulling in and out and the reception is horrible on the bank side.Hopefully, a smart investor will purchase the decaying building and (hint: make it a Jazz venue, JOBS Jazz on the Bay) food, live music, banquets, & more) disclaimer: I have rights to the name and a percentage on the idea & venue once it pops! If you need further help reach out

I am giving it a low score because it has untapped potential. The pier is close and there is a closed, fenced off restaurant. Unfortunately, tons of money would have to be poured into it to to fix up the place. Also need to find a new place for the homeless encampment at the entrance.

Almost all of the parking spaces on the western shoreline provide 180° views of the Bay...from the Richmond harbor and Marin County to the north, to the Golden Gate and City to the west, and the peninsula hills, Oakland harbor, and Bay Bridge(s) to the south. Watch the sun reflect off the glass of the buildings in the morning, or the sunset behind the Golden Gate Bridge in the evening. Just be prepared for a stiff breeze...almost any time of day.

I love the proximity to the Pacific Ocean but with Hs Lordship fenced off and limited public restrooms it does not make it convenient to have a relaxing picnic or play at the park.

Great park, with a beautiful view of Emeryville, Berkeley, and the bay. Some grassy areas and quite a few oicnic nooks. Easy to access via public transit seven days a week. Some food options are nearby, but if you want a quick bite or drink rather than a formal sit down, it is best to bring it with you or stop by the Seabreeze market on your way.

Enjoyable experience viewing out of the large glass windows that incase the splendid unreal views of the bay. Food also good, actually it would prudent to ask servers about any particular dish inorder what would be ideal for your taste. Fish and seafood their speciality but chicken and steak dishes available, along with mandated fries and humble hamburger served to their chefs design. Service was swift and amiable, much appreciated. Well done.
