One of my favorite places to walk. I go here as often as I can, but usually during the week when it is less crowded. Next to the Girls Camp, there is a small field of redwoods. It gives me an opportunity to unwind as I stand in awe of these beautiful giants.This park is great for exercising, relaxing, and connecting with nature. The trails are clearly defined, and aside from the gnats in summer, the wildlife watches you from afar.Fellow hikers are usually courteous and friendly.

Very helpful and informative staff. Couldnt get the app to work, but beautiful park! Enjoyed the huge treesIf youre going to a national park, please remember its your world and pick up a couple pieces of trash to make up for those who are trash.

Wonderful park with tons of trails that are great for all skill levels.I found a lovely ~8 mile loop that had both wide smooth trails and rocky steep trails.I have gone on weekdays during covid and both time the park was having no fee days!!!Great place to escape the business of the East Bay and get lost in nature for a few hours.

Had a Thanksgiving Day morning hike through the Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park. We decided to take the Stream Trail downhill and return through the French Trail. The trail, about 3 miles, is easy to moderate in hiking effort.

One of the best parks in the Bay Area. A lot redwoods and trees. Dog friendly. Good place for cycling. Beyond my expectations.

Beatiful Park in Oakland Hills. Vast views along Ridge trail. Cool green groves of redwoods, oaks, pines, and eucalyptus along the canyons. Streams dried in summer but enough shade to be cool green. Popular but big enough not to feel crowded. People are respectful enough to wear masks and keep 6” distance. Dogs are allowed. Park is within easy reach of major roads.

Perfect place to take a quick hike when you dont have much time. Very easy to get to from downtown Oakland. This is my favorite place to wear out my dog.

This park has something for everyone of every age. I love trail running and there are amazing single track trails. Tons of hikers abound too. And a mix of deep shady trails and those exposed to sunlight can be found. If you enter off Redwood road entrance the stream trail is great for little ones as it is paved. No matter what you are looking for in a park, it can be found here.

Redwood Park is my back yard. I live walking distance from this magnificent park. I am so grateful that it available for hiking, biking, and smelling the air.

Fresh air, and right now free to enter. Beautiful redwoods and trails. Dog friendly

Beautiful trails and well maintained. Popular too, so bring your patience & enjoy sharing this wonderful local getaway.

The park has a lot of trails. The cell connection is on and off through the trails so take a map. You are hiking through beautiful redwoods. The paths are pretty shaded. Be prepared for descent elevation changes (climbs and descents). We definitely got a good workout. For being so close to Oakland, you felt really away from everything. Be prepared for a descent amount of people on the hike. People were respectful of space during Covid 19.

So many trails to choose. The trails are in the shade for the most part so it was nice and cool. The forest had a nice natural scent. Parking gets full quickly, and looks like there is a lot of car break-ins as I saw a lot of window glass on the curb. Beautiful forest with a lot of people walking around. Some trails get steep, so if you are out shape, it might be a struggle.

Very nice shades and well maintained trails. Also dog friendly!

Loved beautiful redwood trees and wonderful trails. There were more people than I thought, 95%of people we passed had mask on. Most of them had dogs. Our dog enjoyed the hike as well.

Great trails. Not for the faint of heart - some incredibly challenging climbs, but gorgeous views and beautiful forests. One of my favorite places to ride.

Awesome park for children. Very new with cool jungle forest theme equipment. Workout are for parents interested in getting a little exercise in!

Great park with tons of trails. Venture further down Redwood Road if you want more seclusion or hop right in off Skyline BLVD at Trudeau Center.

California redwoods are an extremely unique tree on the planet and known for being the tallest tree. They are nourished by the Bay areas summer fog. So, next time you may not be feeling a foggy summer day in the Bay Area, know that the fog is nourishing our gorgeous, unique, vital redwoods.

Beautiful trails through amazing old growth redwoods!!! My dogs come back to me when I call them! Amazing, well maintained, miles of fun!!! #ebrp

This was my first hike ever in Oakland and I thoroughly loved it! It is a bit hilly so if you’re a beginner hiker or having done any strenuous physical activity in a while it might be a bit hard/a bit of a surprise. We started off on the 5 mile trail but ended up getting lost which cut the trail short by about 2 miles. I was in all by the amount of biodiversity and picturesque scenes this place had to offer. I love how local this is but how far removed from city life you feel being here.

Took the kids and the dog, parked on the street because it seemed like the lot for Redwood was closed or full or maybe every other spot was blocked off (hahah!) We took the Golden Spike Trail for about a mile then cut across back east on west ridge, past toyon and then back onto Golden Spike trail. Lots of elevation climb on this one and steep ascents downhill back towards the park entrance. People need to pick up their garbage and stop partying on these trails . Today was cool and breezy, a nice break from the heat these past few days.

Amazing!!!! First went here when I was 6. I’m now 42! and took my 2 year old and he was wowed!! Very well managed and well worth a visit. We will be going back next year.

We love going for short easy walks along the stream trail with our toddler. It tires her out and we get beautiful scenery along the way. It is jogging stroller friendly.

The most beautiful trail ever. The tall enchanting redwoods are a must see. The trails are real adventurous.

Reinhardt Redwood is such a gem! I hadnt explored this place until recently. Perfect for hiking! This main area also has a paved road which is awesome for family/friends that are in wheelchairs or have strollers.

This park is a gem in the East Bay. The popular West and East ridge trails (together they form a 10 mile loop) have great views inland and of the bay. There are miles of trails snaking through the redwood forest and along the seasonal stream at the bottom of the park. In November thousands of ladybugs can be found on fallen wood in the lower areas. In the summer, usually in July, youll see the goats and sheep brought in to eat up the dry grass for fire management. If youre lucky youll see the heard dogs corralling them and moving them to the next area. The bay laurel trees are very fragrant. Very special place!

Impressively spacious regional park. Miles upon miles of trails that can be used for biking, runs, or hiking. Great area to see the coastal redwoods and disconnect from urban life for a bit. Conveniently just a short drive from Oakland.

Debut ride dialing in the new bike, also new to the Bay Area. Rode the Dunn trail... done and done. Mixed grade, terrain and sunlight. Plenty of vantage points. Accelerate with caution. Friendly people, just a heads up, lots of families and dogs. Bikers to yield to pedestrians and horseback riders (didn’t see the later on this trip).

Nice place to take the pup. Very very dog friendly. Beautiful nature trail thats very well groomed. I do wish there were more obvious markers along the way to ensure you are on the correct trail we had to turn around and back track and ask for directions a couple times. Easy parking. Nice picnic area with childs play area and bathroom houses. Love that its so close to Oakland.

Amazing escape. Not uncrowded on weekends, but well worth visiting.

Beautiful park with best off leash dog area and gorgeous hiking trails.

It’s totally radical dude top notch Hoa insane to the core

I have done two trails here, the most recent being West Ridge Trail. It was a bit steeper than I expected, but still very beautiful. The trail has a lot of oaks along the path rather than redwoods. I took Orchard Trail back down to shorten the hike, and that was through the redwoods. Overall a lovely hike on an overcast, chilly day.

Great park with lots of different terrains. There is three main trails that go through the long park. One is in the valley along a creek and the other 2 are on tops of ridges. Plenty of smaller trails in between so you can make the hike as long and with as much elevation as you like. Dogs are allowed and can be off leash in most the area.

Beautiful forest within accessible distance from the city. Lots of great hikes and bike rides in the area

The redwoods are beautiful. The weather was perfect. What else can be said about mother natures work? Inspiration for an artist.

Easy hike, nice woods, more people then most other areas we hike.

It was beautiful part shade and part exposure.

Redwoods in Oakland, what more can you ask for! Countless trails meandering through towering redwoods with varying difficulty. You could come here a dozen times and keep finding new trails to explore.

Awesome park! Loved this place, the trees and wonderful trails.

Delightful traill through the Redwoods. Just be prepared with water and there are no restroom facilities at this time due to COVID-19. Pack in and pack out whatever you bring in. Dogs on leashes only allowed.

Its beautiful, peaceful, not too crowded, and the fresh air is so lovely after being cooped up in the house

Beautiful walk. There are varying levels of hiking difficulty from trail to trail. Dogs are welcome, so long as theyre friendly. Its a popular spot, so youll see other hikers, but all the ones I pass are super friendly. Altogether an awesome time.

Awesome nature escape right in the city. Plenty of trails and dog friendly!

Amazing experience. The trail was easy terrain . This is a gem in the middle of the city . loved it. Love it. If you have the time visit this park.

This place is beautiful for an afternoon picnic or a day hike. Plus there are turkeys. It’s warm tho so take water and snacks and a friend.

Gorgeous, almost-2000 acre park offering multiple recreation opportunities: hiking, mountain biking, picnicking, camping (groups with reservation), wildlife-watching (in winter ladybugs cover Stream Trail!), equestrian, etc. Accessible by AC transit and several access points have free parking. Toilets and drinking fountains in several spots, especially in the northern half. A fantastic East Bay Regional Park that feels light years away from the city.

Surrounded around beautiful redwood trees. There are many trails from easy to challenging. A good combination of sun and shaded trails.

Bay area hide away. Great dog heaven for long walks. Fort Funston still the best dog heaven for shorter walks.

The trails have a lot of tree cover, so its nice to home in the shade.

Lots of different trails to take, some allow bikes and dogs on leashes. Beautiful trails along some Redwood trees. There is parking lots and restrooms, few picnic tables near the parking areas, can get crowded on certain trails, wear mask on the narrow trails difficult to 6ft. Distance. Enjoy the beauty

East Bay Regional parks is doing an amazing job with their maintenance and updates of their parks!There are several trails at RRRP. We started from the Canyon Meadow parking location and did a loop along the Westridge trail to the Bay Area Ridge Trail to Golden Spike down toward back down onto Toyon trail back to Bay Area Ridge. You can get a map at the entrance or download it to your phone on the ebparks.org website.Protip: If parking on the roadway of the park entrance, do not store valuables in your car or keep them out of site. Lots of broken glass along the road indicate car break-ins happen.

Glorious crisp air, beautiful sun and terrific endless trails

Trails are beautiful and well crafted. But don’t park your car here. A whole row of cars were burglarized (including mine) while their owners hiked and convened with nature. A beautiful hike was ruined at the end of my trip when I found out my car window was smashed.

Lovely park with amazing views of the area and plenty of photogenic spots. Had fun exploring the trails and breathing some fresh air.Word of warning, your cell service is likely to drop to non-existent or in-usable once you get up there. So if you dont have a car and tool a Uber or Lyft, make sure you have a car service number on hand or another way to get a ride back.

Cant go wrong with this place. Beautiful redwoods and beautiful oaks. Such variety in a decwnt sized area. Hard to get lost but bring your map. They just reopened the stream trail and let me say it is truly wonderful!

I love this place with it green view. Theres fresh and natural air that help you to be in contact with the nature. Want to go there every weekend.

Love the trails, and trees, and mostly friendly folks out here.

So serine on a weekday. Its a great little hidden gem in the east bay hills. Its @teddyismomsdog approved!

Decent shaded trails, although the redwoods seem to be all new growth and unspectacular.

Dont even go, the woods are just like every other woods.

Very nice place to hike in the shade of redwood trees. Keeps you away from the heat and pleasant moderate trails.

As beautiful and majestic as promised in the Full House TV show theme.

Great place for a hike. Lots of trails for every level of hiker. We went with my 2 year old and she had a blast. This particular visit was peak ladybug migration. There were thousands of them!! Gets crowded so get there early for parking, but once your on a trail it pretty peaceful.

This is a good place to have a walk with your dog or ride on a horse. The trails are multipurpose trails. There are some rules in the park, especially for dogs. Please read them before you enter.There are mountain lions in this park and be aware.This park is not wheelchair accessible. There is a very basic restroom.

Tall, majestic redwoods with out the touristy vibe of the big name parks. It was a very doable but engaging hike, with lots of options to make it longer or shorter. We did ~6 miles mid afternoon end of February. Low 70s and a sea breeze, light sweater recommended for the shady parts near the stream.

Right in Oakland we have a jewel of a redwood park. It is not hidden, just drive up Redwood Road from Rt. 13. One can BBQ, picnic, hike and bike. The park has many segments and day use areas. Many of them can be reserved for a group activity. The Creekside Trail goes on past the day use and bike riding area becoming a shaded hike through lovely groves that becomes a great hike to the top. Good place when one has put of town visitors.

Walked the West Ridge to the French Trail. Made it to Orchard, Bridle, Steam, Prince. Got up to East Ridge to the parking lot. It was a 7.77 mile hike in 3 hours and 47 minutes. Great hike!

Amazing place!! There are so many trails; I feel like you could go there for weeks and every day take a different one. Camping, biking (although not everywhere) and hiking with dogs allowed.

Great place to go hike, run, or bike! Steam trail is a good shady path that leads through the middle of the park giving great veiws of the Redwoods. Once at one end of Steam trail you can take the west or east ridge trail for more of a challenge and loop back to the other side. Friendly people and great views.. Worth the trip every time!

Great place to see the redwoods and camp discreetly

A gem in Oakland. Trails are well maintained, wonderful sights and can get crowded.

First time at this beautiful place, we noticed that many parents walk with their children and pets, it has a few different trails some harder some very easy to walk, dont hope to see any water along the creek, I guess water only runs down during the raining season but not year round, because of the covi the bathrooms were closed and obviously mask where required most of the people there had it, nice pleasant place to visit!

The hike was great...the scenery the best and seeing the lady bugs in their winter hibernating mode was a first. Quite intriguing. I thought the trails were way too muddy to walk on...slippery, wet after rain days earlier. Safety...yet didnt realize that until you already in the hike mode.

Perfect place to go for a quick hike if you live in the Oakland area. There are plenty of options for different hikes ranging from very easy to moderate.

Love the sights, smells and quiet the redwoods bring

Trails are wide and well kept, beautiful redwood groves. Lots of small peaks and valleys, so it does add up in elevation gain.

The park ranger was kind, helpful, and passionate about the beauty of the park. We took Stream Trail out and came back on French Trail. Highly recommend this as an alternative to Muir Woods because of the convenience and less crowded experience with just as much beauty!

Beautiful park, shaded by redwoods (and other trees).

Great place to bring the kids. Easy hiking amongst the beautiful redwoods

Absolutely beautiful. Youll be blown away that this place is in oakland. Clean trails, gorgeous redwoods, even a playground for the kids, dog friendly and tons of picnic spots. Right now, free parking during weekdays but $5 on weekends. Parking spots get taken up quick!

Great place to hike and walk. With a nice mix of rugged, natural trails and paths..

Cool during the summer, lots of shade, alternative off road narrower track. Lovely.

Great trails under the trees. Your dog is welcome on leash! Theres even a spot to have a picnic, if you feel like hiking with food out there.

Great for a peaceful walk.

Another gem to escape from the commotion of the bay area. I love the solidarity of this park.The trails can be quick for a family picnic or all day for an athletic person like myself. Easy to get lost in peace.I recommend the French trail!!!

Tons of great trails and beautiful redwood views. This park is a great place to go if you want to see beautiful California redwoods but dont want to brave the Muir woods crowd.The various trails have a mix of shades and sunny areas, and a mix of elevation changes for any hikers that prefer either.The skyline gate is a great place to start, the earlier the better in order to get parking, there is a lot but you can park on the shoulder right nearby.

This our go-to for hiking locally. Only 20 mins from downtown Oakland and so breathtaking with plenty of redwoods. Theres a diverse terrain from easy 3 mile hikes to really hard 8 mile hikes. Also in the winter theres ladybugs everywhere!

We walked the Stream Trail under the redwoods - so beautiful! Well worth the visit.

My 5yr old had me hiking the bike trails for 90 minutes, burned 600+ calories!!

Redwoods in the East Bay! Play structured for kids. Easy mostly paved trail through the park for 1-1.5 miles makes it accessable for all. Harder (not paved) hikes available from main drag. Cmon and get out there!

Breathtaking trail. Good weather on the day I went and I wish we could have stayed out there longer! I got my intended nature fix! Also got challenged as the trail inclines were intense but doable!

Nice trails to choose from!

Fantastic hiking spot. Highly recommend a visit.

Lovely park for a hike or a mountain bike ride! I go here frequently. A great spot to get outdoors in Oakland!

Beautiful place with nice paths and good hikes trails.

We really love this park. I hope youll respect it, take care of it, and enjoy your hiking.

I dont think I can sum up how amazing my experience to me was cat this place. I only had 2 hours to spend there and it made my trip! The trees were HUGE! I walked the Stream Trail all the way to the spot with the lady bug mating area. The ladybugs fathered in the bunches like that was very cool to see! Something that I cant explain how cool it was to experience was how AMAZING IT SMELLED my entire hike. The forest gives off this intense smell that smells so good! It literally smelled like someone taped a dryer sheet call mountain forest to my nose. I was taking in huge breaths through my nose because I couldnt believe I was smelling something this fragrant outside. Once you get there youll understand what I mean. Trust me Im not crazy! Lol. I also seen a big California Newt walking accros the path. I thought that was cool to see! Whilst walking through the large Redwood trees towering over you I couldnt help but feel how powerful their presence was. It makes you think wow these gave been here so long and seen so much! Were literally so insignificant compared to them. In conclusion this is a awesome place to that would not disappoint you to checkout!

A wonderful place to relax. Lots of shade area. Free parking during week days. There is a small play ground. Clean restroom.
