Very nice atmosphere and easy access park. Me and my boyfriend had a mini picnic with our baby schnauzer.

Playground area, tennis courts, and a grassy field perfect for group games and picnics. Dog friendly, and usually there are tons of dogs running around. Usually pretty busy! Gorgeous on a sunny day. There are trees to provide shade.

Great little park to walk your dog. Although there were a few shady characters looming around. Overall felt pretty safe. Even found a geocache while there!

It is not the biggest part in Berkeley but it has a very decent and clean playground feo my toddler. There are tons of activities for her and toys to use. She enjoys playing on the sand and in the see saw. Nice place to spend an afternoon with kids. Parking was easy during the weekend. And it is close to a CVS and restaurants in Telegraph Avenue.
