Very serene to take a walk or do a run here, by the bay waters. This is my nature experience so close to where I live. Sunset views are great. I have seen some baby gopher snakes here sometimes on the paved road leading to the bay side trail, from the shoreline parking. They are harmless but better to watch out so they dont get harmed

Parking lot was full before the sun even came up. Also for some reason I have found that a lot of bicyclists (and some occasional hikers) like to blast their music for everyone (and all the wildlife) to hear. Its really obnoxious especially on an otherwise peaceful morning.That being said there is a decent amount of bird life here and can make for some decent photos if its not too overcast and you make sure not to get all the factories and city industry behind them.

Absolutely love this place. Its a great spot for the dogs and taking in the Bay.

First time here, quite tranquil. Came on a windy day, love the view.

Its nice to have a walk. Theres many trails to walk on. Bring a hat and a light jacket because it get hot and once closed to water it gets cold

This address takes you to the right place! It says dead end but there are 2 parking areas. The one you see first is unofficial and actually has gates that open up to the off leash dog friendly side (See pic below). If you drive further in is the official parking lot where that is also a restroom. This area all you’ll see is no dog signs.The dog friendly side we walked 3 miles out and back but you can definitely go out further. A good amount of people out enjoying the sun but not crowded at all. Most people had dogs on their leash and picked up their small dogs when they saw mine coming by.Loved being surrounded by water and even a glimpse of San Francisco skyline. My pup enjoyed chasing all the squirrels too!I also saw people bird watching? They had some hardcore cameras with the mega zoom lenses.

Perfect place to enjoy a long walk. We take our Grandchildren often. We love it

Great place for a bicycle ride. Quiet. Nature.

Beautiful scenery. Bring a hat if youre going during the day as theres no shade.

Nice place to go for a walk and take pictures of the Bay. This is definitely a great trip for Biology education.

Nice place for a jog. People fishing and walking their dogs. I like how the crew don’t kick up the dust when they ride through the trails.

Nice place for everyone with dogs.Easy walk. Good place for photos

Great place for an easy hike. Spotted some beautiful wildlife. About a 2.8mile walk. Mostly flat and unpaved.Two car parks at the entrance of the park. Rest rooms also on site.Sadly some of the shore is littered with trash. Many squirrels were spotted.

Loved it sanfrancico in the distance. Gorgeous

Love this place.except romany people nowadays to many people with dogs and not on a leash.

Visitor center is now closed. Only restroom is a porta potty. However, good views and cooler than home.

Easy hike on paved trails among marshes and shoreline.

Very awesome place to walk with my son. While can run or walk. There is hardly anyone on the dirt trails, and that makes it easy to spot birds and ground creatures.

Beautiful place to ride your bike or walk by the bay.

Very educational bike ride ive learned some history of hayward i didnt know

My dogs love it there. Its a great place to let them run around and tire themselves out

This park near the bay allows to injoy cool hiking during hot weather!

Great trail right on the water. Packed with wetland wildlife against the bay/ city scapes

What a nice oasis. It’s a small walk around but it’s a huge break from the grind of the Bay Area. It is well worth the stop. Locals do frequent the area which is always a good sign. There are two parking lots. So look out for the hidden turns. Have fun and don’t litter!!

Its pretty clean concidering its next to a land fill. But gates close at 5 which is a bummer

Off leash area on the north end while south part provides amazing wildlife inside the No Dog protected area.

I love this place because is so peaceful and relaxing, its a great place to bring family and friends.

Lots of shorebirds. Nice walk

Very beautiful scenery and very clean park

Peaceful spot...great view of the bay.

Have to hike down a bit as usual but it was a nice walk. Took the dogs even though they said no dogs. Lots of broken glass though be careful.

Several miles of level gravel trails to hike and bike on. Many bird species live here year round and they have a fantastic interpretive center on the south side near the San Mateo Bridge. You can cross over highway 92 via a pedestrian bridge and enter the Eden Shores Wildlife Preserve, as well. Its pretty windy most of the time, so bring a jacket and hat if you get cold easily.

Very good place to walk and exercise

Good place for a walk/run!

One of my top 3 places to get my early morning workout in. Added a couple pics from my adventures! A must check out ️. See you on the trail!!!

I love the Hayward Shoreline because its so peaceful and the sunsets are amazing.

Nice walk out to the shoreline did some fishing. Our group did good kept busy with the leopard sharks, stingrays, halibut and smelt. Others were catching stripers

GREAT PLACE TO WALK, LOOK AT SOME MUD, AND SMELL THE GRASS

Only the problem there no garbage containers all the way

I love the shoreline and find great paths to walk down throughout the shoreline.

This place has a beautiful view. It’s good for hiking and to just relax and take in the beautiful sunrise and sunset.

I love coming here to walk. So calm and beautiful. Many people bike, run and/or walk their dogs. There is a bit of wildlife, Ive seen several snakes, various birds and four-legged creatures.

Never disappointed. Each time I find a new decoration Mother Nature has gifted us.

Nice place to get out and stretch. The walk in any direction offers a bit of wildlife and a cool time away from normal everyday stressors.

Good place to walk and birdwatch.

Connects all the way to Marina Park. No lights when it gets dark.

Trail is ok, but water is greenish and brownish. Just ok to walk or bike.

As a water enthusiast Im always looking for a quick ways to get to the water as a way of relaxing and rejuvenating myself. I have been seeing signs in Hayward that said water access, so I decided to check it out. I was pleasantly surprised to find within 10 minutes I could be looking out at the bay and waves. Theres several trails that you can hike around the marshlands. Some even with your dog off leash. There was only one bench so if you feel you want to walk and sit for a while you might need to bring your own chair. Its actually a decent walk from where you park to where the water is oh, so if you cant walk far this may not be the spot for you. And of course dont leave anything visible in your car because the place where you park your car is actually kind of remote and isolated. And most of all most importantly pay attention to the time that the parking lot closes which I believe is 7 and you have to park outside of the gate.

Hidden Gem. Lots of trails.

A pretty no frills park. Theres no fee and its quite close and convenient for a stroll or a bike ride. Winds are pretty high, great for kiting, but bring a jacket.

We really enjoy this place but feels different from tbe past. Alot more people and trash not cool. We usedto be able to enjoy the peacefulness not so kych now lots of noise pollution and shady dealings in parking lot. Must say 2 of the park rangers are so kind abd fun, some needing g some Jesus Love jysr saying

This place has a lot of easy walking trails. There area lot of birds in short viewing distance. Very good place for a quick afternoon walk

Flat trail with great views of the bay. Perfect place to go for a walk or a run.

Windy & beautiful, as usual!

Million dollar views for miles whether you walk or bike these wide open spaces with distant SF views. Take water and snacks. Dogs welcome going North from Winton.Lovey year round but a treasure on warm days. Most of the year you can be alone many minutes at a time. Enjoy!

My favorite place in Hayward. Never crowded. Always beautiful. Usually windy.

Wonderful hike spot. Dog friendly north of Winston

One of the best birding spots in the East Bay. Low tide exposes large mudflats full of shorebirds. The Bay is full of sea ducks.

If you are looking for an alternative to a dog park, this is it. Located at the end of Winton Ave (off I880, take Winton West til it ends), park out side the Park on the gravel area next to the fence. Do not go into the Park area (no dogs allowed there) but on the west side fence line there is an opening. Dogs are allowed off leash (please make sure that they are friendly since there are other dogs and people using the area) On the right hand side is a map of the area and a little further are even doggie waste bag for use. It is 1/2 mile to the shoreline and many hiking trails along the way. Place to play fetch in the water (driftwood abounds) and let your dog roam to his/hers hearts content, or take a blanket and soak in the sun.

The trails are lovely. Walk along the edge of the bay and enjoy the birds, the wind and the (small) waves. Mostly pelagic birds, but also a few raptors. The folks in the center will help you spot them and let you know when and where youre likely to find them. Theres usually a red-tailed hawk hanging out near the first bridge if you come early or late in the day.

If you know Hayward you know that it doesn’t exactly have a wide variety of options to get into a nature retreat. The Hayward regional shoreline is definitely one of the best options available, and I recently learned that there is an aspect of the trail that extends north from Hayward to San Leandro and has a beautiful bridge-like connection between Hayward and San Leandro. It’s a great trail to walk or run on, there is a sign that says no pets but I have seen people with their pets on the trail and so I’m not sure if that is part or all of the park that is not available to pets. That is definitely worth a visit from either the Hayward or San Leandro side, both are beautiful and the only other nice nature retreat that I have found locally in Hayward is Garin regional park. Enjoy your visit here!

Perfect place for a relaxing walk with spectacular views. Theres always some cool wildlife sighting too!

If you have dogs and youre looking for a place for them to swim? This is the place! Be sure to check the tides online first and come when its close to or at high tide. Otherwise, youre looking at bringing home some very muddy dogs.

A nice long walk along the bay. Great for sunset strolls. A couple well places benches along the way but no other amenities.

Very long Walks by the bay ...

Its a bird haven! Its nice and quiet but very sunny. No shade so protect yourself from the sun!

Great park wish bathroom was open though

Fun. Good trails. easy. Lots of good dogs and nice people. Bring bags to clean up after your dog and water. Fun morning out!

Its beautiful out there, even with all the junk that has washed off from the Bay. Quiet and breezy, and not too crowded.

It fasho cool little spot !

Convenient way to de-stress for free. Many trails for exercise and walk the dog or go for a bike ride.

Nice and peaceful to clear your mind of all the cobwebs

Beautiful place!

Good place to walk your dog or bike. It has great view, and it stretches for several miles. You can also walk your dog with or without a leash provided that they are in the Northern side of the Shoreline (by the San Leandro Trail); its less of a hassle than the other areas. Theres only one building that the rangers operate out of for the whole area. The only problem it has small parking lots and confusing signage.

I love to walk here sometimes jog lots of trails time to think..

Love this place.

It was very peaceful. Simple pleasure to just enjoy nature.

Sypper windy but a nice view.

Great, well-maintained trails. Nice benches to sit at scenic points and watch the waves and clouds go by. I wish the trails were a bit better marked with milage.You can almost always bring a kite to fly because of the regular winds. There is also a lot of wildlife to watch as well.Its a park Im always happy at.

Driving for FedEx sometimes I need a good lunch spot. A few times Ive been known to put my truck up find a nice quiet Shady spot turn the truck off turn the music off eat my lunch in peace and quiet while just admiring the landscapes breathing fresh air and listening to the birds chirp.

Peaceful and only the sound of water makes it a beautiful and exotic place..

Love this place! When you need a little get away to walk or ride bike.

Love to go walking over there. And it has such a beautiful view when standing at shoreline.

Its clean, quiet and has several trails to choose from. Some benches are along most paths for those who need a break. And last, a great place to watch pelicans.

Beautiful place. Nice walk to shoreline.dogs arent allowed everywhere only in certain areas But usually not alot of people during the day. Weekends get a lil more crowded. right on The water. Some people call it glass beach.u will see why when u come.i dont believe you are allowed to take anything back with u from here. They have doggie bags and one garbage can. And FYI there are NO Bathrooms or drinking fountains. my dog loves this place and so do my boyfriend and I.

May not be the most beautiful trail but its well maintained and great for walks, runs and bike rides.

A nice walk along the San Francisco Bay shoreline, where shorebirds are plentiful. The trail is paved, which makes it good for walking or biking, but the pavement needs work in several areas. There is limited parking, but additional parking on Grant Ave.

Good place for walk .So many birds around here sometime.

Great place to unwind, walk the dogs, or go for a jog.

I love this park. The trails that the park service looks after offer great views of the bay and the the vegetation is allowed the flourish in a natural manner. The park has trash cans at the entrance which some visitors ignore unfortunately. I have encountered a variety of visitors who all want to peacefully enjoy nature. The park may benefit from a larger entry sign that explains why feeding animals is bad for them, especially bread to birds.The staff I have encountered are always polite and we are able to communicate little issues that we see to help them out with their work.Its a nice piece of nature that deserves to be looked after.--I rely on thorough reviews to make my decision on where to visit.

Pretty and alot of path to walk or ride ur bike

Great place to go for a walk.

Fantastic place for spotting birds of different kinds. Great for distance walking, bicycling and meditation.

Bugs and smells kind of bad but good views of the ocean. Flat trail good for running

Nice outdoor location, calm and relaxing. Do your part to keep it clean!

Good easy walk

Beautiful walking path along the coast.

My dog loves it, so do i!

Beautiful place. But careful where you walk lots of duck poop in some areas. This park is not dog friendly there are signs up saying no dogs. So I dont know why everyone is saying its a great place for dogs. I hope they clean up after the dog shits.

Just a great place to go for a bike ride, walk, seeing nature, and just be in a wonderful natural place.
