This is a really nice path along the shore line. There are a lot of little park like areas with benches and BBQs for an outing and a great walking/running/biking path. I was able to see SFO and San Francisco across the water, very nice. Glad I was able to have such a nice place to exercise while stopped in Oakland for a few hours. There is parking along the path. I began at tidewater boating center. There is a lot of wild growing anise that smells a bit like black licorice after a gentle rain, as well as the purifying scent of eucalyptus trees, great views of the water. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Park. Lots of different sections from big beautiful grassy areas, shoreline and Great Docks and Piers.Lovely Calming Place To Do Nothing, Or Things Like Fishing .

The water and scenery were beautiful. The stroll down the shoreline was amazing. It was so peaceful and serene

Love this walk! The trail is well maintained . We bring bags to pick up trash that unconscious people leave. Dogs on leash, but there are areas that you can see both ways for a good distance and let them run if they have good recall. SIP has the parking lots closed so we walk in. Love it. Great views.

Such a gem of great piece of mind and a great workout spot.

We found a spot to launch our paddle boards near the observation tower. Had a great paddle around Arrowhead Marsh and up the creek. Even had a big bat ray swim under my board.

This a underrated area of Oakland. Really off the beaten path somewhat but has great views of the water and skylines of the hills and city. Friendly people, great for walking or biking. Love this spot!

Nice and peaceful. Not the best facilities and trash around but not a lot of people.

Enjoy walking the trail here great place for a picnic when open picnic areas are closed due to covid 19 restrictions but great park

I love looking at the water and this place is quiet peaceful and clean.

Great place to Get away. Tune out the world, plug into yourself.

Great for walking. Street side is filthy.

Its one of those places thats been forgotten but not neglected. Its very active with runners, walkers and people walking their dogs.

If youre looking to get to a quiet place, beautiful with a mix of species of birds this is place. Great for walking, bird watching, and fishing!This area has become a place of solace for me, allowing time to unwind and reflect as I take in the majestic views.Clean fresh air abounds as the autos are kept at bay freeing you up from their loud incessant engine noise, and pollutants the like.What a wonderful trail to explore, easily accessible with sparce few joggers but friendly people saying good day as we cross paths.Great for educators of young minds when teaching about marsh land habitat and its importance and impact on the surrounding ecosystems.I so enjoy Martin Luther King trail and I believe you will as well. Please explore!

This park is my favorite place for a nice walk its quiet and clean

Its a nice quiet place to get away but not have to go far. Great place to see the fireworks at the coliseum after As games or to watch plane come and go.They are park benches. But lots of goose poop around.

Beautiful location - not to busy - really great place to visit in this time of COVID

Great protected kayak launch on windy days.

Hidden gem. Great for bird watching.

Very nice area, the people who walk/run there are all friendly. Good area for any type of person to come. Very family friendly.

Another hidden gem in the East Bay. Located near the Oakland airport, this nature preserve offers great viewing of migratory birds, as well as yearly residents. If you are lucky, you might even spot a Ridgways rail! The pathways are all tarmac, so it is great for folks with mobility issues. There is a lot of parking, as well, and well maintained bathrooms.

Fun park to attend, the view is amazing and has such a great scenery that photoshoot should be welcomed. The scenes is nice and it is quiet and very peaceful

Great walk on the north shore. Entrance close to Harley Davidson dealership. Canal to bridge. Your choice to go left or right. South side is a larger park area. North side continues for about 3 miles from starting point. Many small parking lots along north path.

The city of Oakland has done an EXTREMELY poor job with the upkeep of this area. My best friend of the past 15 years wanted to share is go to spot when he was a very young boy who raised in the Oakland Projects, The 6 9.

Nice path with loads of fun for dogs.

Nice and quiet, just a lovely day eating some icecream and watching people fish.

Loooved this spot. Magnificant sunsets. Great park and great picnic area.

Its a very good place for BBQ and for a family day,Its quite and safe with beautiful view of water and lots of greens

Great Place!! Plenty of space for the kids to run around. Highly recommended this place for kids birthday parties and photo shoots because of the nice views.

Good area for birding, in an industrial area so was hard to find.

Love this place I fished here but I saw a lot of other people bicycling walking and running also very nice!

Beautiful, go early or mid day to avoid crowds

I love walking here because its close by my house and there are often lots of birds to watch. Not too crowded, and there are picnic benches scattered around. Bathrooms, too, which is always a plus.

Plenty of easy access parking, alongside the estuary. You can watch kayaking and canoeing from a comfortable grassy area, equipped with a picnic table and a grill for cooking burgers, chicken and franks, and more. Be sure to use an actual address as there are many entrances. The one described in this review is 7250 Doolittle, in Oakland.

I commute through here several times a week, generally about 7 AM, 9PM, or 1AM (depends on my work shift). I see skunks, egrets, blue herons, ground squirrels, fairy rings, Kingfishers, mushrooms; and, rarely, owls, otters, and sharks. So, I love it!

Would love to come back for a run!

Often good birding, especially at Arrowhead Marsh during King tides. Best chance to see rails. Garrettson point is similar, but rail habitat is better at Arrowhead.

Great place for evening walks!

Great views. Great for a nice walk or bike ride. Dog friendly. Also places to picnic. Public restrooms well maintained. Wheelchair accessible. Disabled parking available. Nice wildlife from squirrels, mice, lizards, and jack rabbits to ducks, heron, geese, and falcons.

Cool Place For Peace Of Mind & Serenity..

Wonderful. A little hidden.

Great if youre looking to have small gathering. Plenty of parking but will have to endure the sun. No food outlets near by so bring a picnic basket. Sheriffs patrols regularly if that matters to you.

Love this shore line park great for bike riding and just walking its flat surface easy walking trails. Plus picnic tables and Grills

Clean place and respectful people.

Great place to chill with the fam and soak in some sunshine by the water. It also has a cool scientific artifect there that people used back in the day to determine the seasons. Nice open grass areas and bbq/party areas.

Great place for birdwatching and walking along the paths.

Great picnic areas, boat/jet ski launching ramp. Beautiful and Peaceful land...

Nice place to take the grandkids to fly kite

Good park to go walk and piknik

Very peaceful place to get away but yet at or so close to home. I enjoy taking these walks with my daughters Plus they loved it

Pretty area and low key

Very nice.

I was hurry and stop to get something to eat but wanted to be outside and it was to early for work. I pass by this small park all the time by the water and its always active. The spot is open to the main street and designed for passing drivers. Safety could tell because I stayed in car and blasted by diversfied music station. Notice their wasnt a fowl order that goes with lakes during temperatures of mild to hot climates. It was clear for you to see as far as the top of the Oakland dry land and hills (fires). Not wanting to over due my welcome I proceeded slowly out a spiked entrance to avoid any damage to my tires to work. As a female safety in public parks is paramount.

Live in the bay area all my life... but never came here. Definitely a diamond in the ruff

Great place to take family out for any outdoor activities. I take my sons there to fish. Time away from all the current technology and just to unplug.They love it.

I enjoy watching the ducks and the Water .and the Air plains in the air and the sea gulls. Its Great place.

Cool spot to walk on..great view ..nice relaxing atmosphere

Great place to come and relax or just for a jog even have a little picnic as you look out at the beautiful water

I work nearby so steal an hour when I can to go out for a walk here n the coast line. It provides the perfect scenery for a little escape from work and blasting air conditioning to visit the variety of critters (squirrels, bunnies and lizards) as well as a myriad of birds. Its very quiet and clean and well maintained. I bring my kids here to ride bikes along the miles and miles on paved pathway when I have time as well. Nice place. Im here at least 4 days a week.

We come here often. It’s a great place to walk and always loaded with birds. A spotting scope is helpful to really see all the birds in the distance on the water. But there are plenty of birds up close. Look for burrowing owls on the mounds as you drive in. You may hear or see ridgeways rails out in the master as well.

Had to use a survey monument here. Not much here but pleasant enough. Was some medical waste in the ground so keep your eyes open.

Relaxing at.the water

I love this place, family, hacking, Bar.B.Q, seafront, water fountain, reasonable Restroom.

Good for meditation a long walk or can reserve a table for a picnic

This place is a great area to wallk with your dogs and to picnic or just sit and watch the water. Also wonderful to bike ride because the trail goes all the way to Alameda.

Great place to go for a walk, clear your mind and dream of traveling to a land far way while you listen to the airplanes make their way to OAK.

Doggies love this place...so do we

Good trail for dog walking or getting some fresh air and exercise. Its right on the water, but unfortunately the shoreline is clogged with trash. There are a fair amount of homeless people living in the bushes along the trail so sometimes it gets a bit stinky but they keep to themselves and rarely bother anyone.

Nice quiet place to walk with kids

I attended a baby shower in the park building and it was a nice venue.

Great view super peaceful place to gather your thoughts.

Well paved, limited bumps. Relatively flat. Very Scenic. San Francisco Bay trail.

Nice trail to walk, run or use bicycle, or picnic. Lots of parking entering from swan street .

Nice place to relax

My go to walk spot for dogs

Great place to walk

Walking paths with relaxing views of estuary and bay. Good birding opportunities, picnic areas

Nice park to take a run. Clean and well kept.

Very peaceful and beautiful. Great for walkin running and Very dog friendly

I got married at the Clubhouse that can be rented for occasions. Lovely place for a bbq

Martin has never actually been here and has no actual correlation to the place. very disappointed

Easy hiking. Very close to the water.

Not a lot of people here so its good. Parking picnic tables water and bathrooms what else do you need and sometimes wind to cool it down

Great place to run. Theres a lot of beautiful species of birds in the area, unfortunately a lot of trash near the shore

This is my go to local spot for walking and birding. Its acceptable with an abundance of seating opportunities. Year round family fun.

Nice trail. Wish you could do a full circle

I enjoy this spot I go here everyday I love to walk and fish and they have a dock for you to fish off of just in case you dont have a license

My son had his graduation here....it was really nice....never been over here....will be back through out the summer.

Nice place but always cold because its near the airport

Great place to relax and do various activities like fishing, water skying, jogging, picknick or celebrate a kids party!

So peaceful!! Great place to think and reflect.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline park is, in my opinion, a hidden gem for the City of Oakland.Did you know that there is a multi-use path (bicycles and pedestrians) that winds for 3.7 miles along the shoreline with any interrupting roads? Even my home city of Richmond, with the longest completed sections of the San Francisco Bay Trail of ANY city around the bay cant claim that long an uninterrupted shoreline trail!And its empty!! Are you tired of the Bay Trail in Emeryville through Richmond? Yes, that section is lovely, but that section is also CROWDED.I enthusiastically recommend this park if you like to walk or bike along the shore, with wildlife viewing, interpretive displays, and most of all - peace and uncrowded quiet - all within the City of Oakland!

Great to walk!! View is great. Animals fun to spot.

Love the scenery. Fun playstructure.

Quiet place to eat lunch and relax away from hectic workloads.

I come here most days to walk my dogs and love this quiet little Park everybody seems to be nice and friendly and although it is on leash park it is a great place to have a good walk with your dogs or with your friends enjoy this great place

Great place to site see, take photos, walk and relax

So wide open and very beautiful area !! Will be a perfect place for picnic, events even for camping (?) - not sure if camping can be allowed.:) And also I could see bunch of swans on the lake. They look so beautiful but I will need much longer lens to see closer. They were a bit far from me.

Nice... breezy... trail...

Nice place to ride my bike
