So if you bring your dog here I will more than likely be saying hi to the little cutie if I'm there. Many places to go by the water if there's too many people on one patch of land. You never have to go far to find some more water here. There's a little canal type area that's now drying up!! Has a boat loading dock but it's no longer usable in this area , to be fair I'm not a boat expert but I don't think there's nowhere near enough water ( at least when I was there ) to get a boat going LOL. Always a great time when you go here. It's not much but me and my family used to always go here. Now that one of them is gone it's really a treasure to go here. So much walking space , I just took one of the many paths this time. So many seashells and other beachy stuff along the shore also. Family's always have a bunch of fun here even though there's no swimming allowed. Not many sea animals or anything that wash up thankfully! Means they are doing well :) ! So many beautiful seashells and sand is everywhere. There is paved areas to walk on , however not every areas paved. Thanks for reading hope this helps !

That's why I want to write this review in hopes that as a community we can maintain and even maximize the things we love about this park. The small play area is due for a remodeling. Graffiti throughout, broken structures, broken fencing, and trash. The basketball courts have uneven pavement so I can only imagine what could happen when the older kids or even adults are playing. Even the bathroom, while better than before, some of the items aren't stocked or the fixtures/appliances don't work. Hopefully some things can be repaired soon, but overall the park needs some love poured back into it.

There's also a soccer field, and beyond the wooded creek are a big dog park and plenty of picnic tables. Even though the park is huge (231 acres), it all felt like a throwback to a simpler time which makes this expansive space a useful magnet for Pinole families looking for relief from pandemic restrictions. One thing I found unusual was seeing so many feral peacocks ambling about as I wasn't sure if it was a common sight in the park. I guess peacocks like that old-timey vibe, too.

It's also right next to 'Leila by the Bay' restaurant. The playground is designed mostly for younger kids with the floor deck made from recycled rubber materials. It has a couple of toddler swings so definitely not for teenagers. We didn't have these kinds of playgrounds when I was growing up. It has three benches and three picnic tables with lots of grassy area. Depending on the time of day, the surrounding trees will provide some shade. I've taken my friends here during the pandemic just to get away from the pandemic madness while enjoying the outdoors while maintaining social distancing. The city of Hercules also does a good job of maintaining and cleaning this park, and the garbage bin is never full, which is a sign that it's being serviced in a timely manner. Best part of all, you can watch the Amtrak passenger trains and freight trains pass by on their scheduled routes. There's something hypnotizing about a train going by; no matter how many times I've seen it, you can't help but look and enjoy. It's definitely appropriately named Railroad Park.

Pinole Creek Trail is about half a mile long from the mouth of the creek that starts from the bay…read moreand into the downtown area of Pinole. The creek itself is 10.95 miles long running through town, but the trail is a nice, flat and paved area that many locals utilize to jog, run, walk and stroll. There are several bridges that runs through the creek, including an elevated wooden railroad bridge that is quite picturesque. On the other side of the trail is the Bay Trail, and parts of that trail is not paved, especially from San Pablo Ave. all the way to the mouth of the creek. However, both trails connect to Bayfront Park towards the railroads and Pinole Shores. So depending on what route to take, you can spend quite some time to get your exercise. For us, it's the exercise, walking the dog and being outside. Especially when the weather is nice, it's quite a nice stroll with enjoyable views while being out in nature and still in an urban setting. However, it's the best of both worlds and the city of Pinole does a great job of maintaining the trail. Along the creek is also Fernandez Park, with kids' playground, community center, basketball court and a baseball field. It gets busy during the weekend with plenty of outdoor activities for both adults and kids alike. The creek is a mixture of both salt and fresh water that attracts countless of wildlife. I think there's always a family of ducks that are always swimming or just hanging around the banks of the creek. There's definitely fish in the creek since you'll spot their activities on the water. And the many types of birds that will stop to take a bath or feed during their migration. At the mouth of the creek where it meets the bay, there's a waste water treatment plant, and depending on where the wind blows, you might get a whiff of an unpleasant smell. However, it's quite a nice area to explore during low tide as you can walk a pretty good distance off shore. Make sure your wearing the right kind of footwear since it's very muddy. Doing this activity makes me feel like a kid again. Here's a little secret: On both sides of the trail, there are rows of bushes that grow wild berries. People forage these bushes all the time and we've done our fair share of foraging. I've even made several milkshakes as a result of our foraging. I'm not gonna tell you which are the sweet ones, I'll let you figure that out yourselves. Oh, and the bushes are very thorny so be careful. Don't say I didn't warn you.

We lucked out and came through on a nice clear late afternoon. The trail is available for walkers (for both 2 and 4 legged creatures) as well as bikers. People were conscious at social distancing (given the current pandemic crisis we're currently going through) which I thought was really cool. We really enjoyed it. We even lost track of how far we went because we got distracted looking out the water. The only thing I would suggest for improvement is maybe to have more trash bins. Don't get me wrong - the trail is generally nice, but it would be better if I wasn't seeing a bit of garbage here and there. (Yeah, there are some undisciplined people out there, shame on them.) Hubbers, our pup and I liked it so much we made a return visit in less than 48 hours. Definitely a good go-to to catch some fresh air and getting some steps in!
