This is a big park right on the water with amazing views. Most of the park is flat with lots of picnic grounds, including barbecues, but it also extends up into the hills behind the park with hiking trails. Weekends can be crowded with lots of large families and groups occupying the picnic grounds. They have been doing some work replanting grass so it's going to be looking better really soon.

I don't like this park.

The bathrooms were present but seemed locked. Tennis courts down the hill. It's clean park with a lot to offer!

As part of our group's bi-weekly hike, we had the Old San Pablo Trail on our agenda. We started…read morefrom the Kennedy Regional Park parking lot and headed towards the trail head entrance about a quarter of a mile away. The trail is part of the East Bay Municipal District (EBMUD) watershed lands, but a trail permit is not required. The trail leads past a spillway and to the toe of the reservoir. Then the beautiful view of the blue waters of the reservoir opens up. Though the trail does not traverse along the shoreline, there are paths at certain areas where you can walk down to the water's edge. The trail had sections shaded by trees and open areas with some slight elevation and foot bridges before we reached the San Pablo Boat Launch Recreation Area. From here, we returned to our starting point for an approximate 5.5 mile hike. After we picked up lunch at a restaurant nearby, we brought our food to enjoy at one of the many picnic tables in the Park amongst the grove of Eucalyptus trees. A nice park for picnics with a scenic hiking trail to boot.

Baseball games were being played while there are two separate play areas designated for smaller and bigger kids. Shade areas are hard to come by on warmer days. There are two benches with cement barriers wrapped around tree areas. Both are used for seating, but the cement areas offer ample shade under the trees. The larger play area for bigger kids has many structures to explore, climb and slide down. During our three hour stint of play, our daughter had many kids to play with. Between the play structure, digging in dirt and playing with bugs, play happened throughout the play area. Parking can be limited ,especially during baseball season, since it is nestled in a residential area with street parking. It is a few minutes from Baskin Robbins if the little ones have earned a scoop.

Stop laughing. It's just that I'm not a fan of redundancy when it comes to adding up my daily steps. The park is primarily a rectangle with a bit of a wooded area, an easy-to-miss picnic area, and a paved perimeter around the baseball fields. This latter feature is inarguably convenient, especially for the baby stroller brigade and seniors who don't want to think about the terrain they're trodding. I don't either, but I need variety so I'll climb the steps to the hardly-used picnic grounds, make my way up to Navellier, and walk downhill on Moeser until I find myself back on the paved path again. It's called the Survivor trek of Cerrito Vista Park. Stop laughing. The main challenge with the paved perimeter is avoiding the occasional errant baseball and upholding safe distancing when it gets crowded. And indeed it does because shelter-in-place makes this park more attractive to the claustrophobically challenged. RELATED - Exploring El Cerrito?
