    A view of the toddler and bigger kid play area!
    Susan D.

    Doe Park is a nicely maintained park within the Ord housing community. It offers a variety of play structures for kids from toddler to elementary ages. It also has volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, picnic tables, a grill, bathroom facilities, and a dog park. Though there is not much shade, there is a half wall around the play structures that provides seating for parents or other caregivers. There is also a wall to practice your tennis on, but no tennis courts. The people who we have met here have all been very nice and it is quickly becoming our favorite park, other than Dennis the Minnis. Our dog especially likes it but we wish there were more dogs there for her to play with. The only actual issue with the park is the sharp thistle weed that is growing everywhere. If the park managers don't do something to contain that situation, it will probably take over the whole field and dog park. There is a small parking lot and street parking around the park but most people seem to walk there from their neighborhood. It is definitely the best of the military parks we have been to, so far, but we are still new to the area. See ya there!

    I like that there's an agility course but this place was overgrown and people definitely don't pick up after their dogs.

    During dinner, my local friends suggested places to visit on my open Friday schedule, other than a…read moredinner reservation. After breakfast, I headed towards Fisherman's Wharf from Cannery Row and this was a mentioned destination. They shared some of the history of the city which I never knew and took this opportunity to learn more. This building served as the custom house for the port city. Walking inside, there are relics from that time used by the workers in expediting incoming shipments. Most of the antiques and relics are old and have prominent signs warning visitors NOT to touch them (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=4OeCQ74fxROLFFz63iuBOQ). There is one table of items that allow guests to touch and examine them. There are volunteers and state park rangers to answer questions if they arise. They are very friendly and greeted me both when I walked in and as I left. In pointing this place out to me, I learned a lot of history about the area such as the original name of the city being Alta. I also learned that this was the original state capital of California until the gold rush prompted the move north. In going to one of the side rooms, I also learned about a street in SF that is named after a prominent business person who helped grow our fair state in the 1800's. Besides the two rooms for the museum, there is a gift store in the 3rd room (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=qw_npk27w1iSn4Xi90iDkQ). If you want to learn about the history about the area, do stop here.

There are nice displays of the type of items that came through here for sale/trade. The are docents here to answer questions and a nice gift show with random nicknacks to purchase. It is located right next to the Fisherman's Wharf so it's a nice stop before or after your stroll along the wharf to learn more about California history.
