Grove Park is a block long and a block wide community space that has a baseball field, tennis courts, children's playground, basketball courts, and a community center. there's a few communal tables for sitting down and chilling. one can walk around the park for walking exercises. parking street only?

Grove Park is right near the South Branch of the Berkeley Public Library. There was a sign up proclaiming "Grand Opening" yet feel the park was open before yet feel that perhaps it was closed for sometime as they were doing a remodel. I must say the "new" Grove Park is quite alright if you are a three sport star that plays basketball, tennis, & baseball. There are two full length basketball courts w/ regulation size rims. There is also one half court w/ probably an 8 foot rim that would be great for younger future Steph Curry players or for adults that want to dunk. I leaped up & grabbed the rim yet my days of shooting hoop are over. I was a basketball star in high school as was an off guard that specialized in rolling picks & pick & rolls to catch & shoot jumpers. I still am a fan of hoops as love the Golden State Warriors yet truth be told don't really start paying attention until playoffs. Besides basketball there is a baseball diamond & three full length tennis courts. With the remodel looks like a fresh coat of paint was laid down as the blue & green paint along w/ white trim is on both the basketball & tennis courts as it looks quite nice. There are benches courtside of the basketball court along w/ bicycle racks to lock your bicycle. Nice sports park in the East Bay!

This place is very pretty when the sun is out. There are a lot of tween kids around though.

Does this park have a lower/shorter basketball hoop?

The basketball courts are a big draw too--my kids love playing pickup games or just shooting around.

This park is just really cool. On afternoons and weekends it's usually packed full of people. It…read morecan be hard at times to find a parking spot but shouldn't be too difficult to park on a side street if needed. There are several parts to this park. One is a flat area with a play scape and a cement slide. There's actually a tunnel nearby that goes under the road and crosses over to the rose garden, which is really cool. The cement slide is a must see for anyone with kids and even if you're an adventurous adult. There are plenty of cardboard boxes around for you to try it out. When I first heard about the cement slide, I didn't think it would be very fun, (cement and sliding didn't go together in my mind) but it is great! Then just a little bit south, above that play scape area, there's a baseball field. So many different people come here to meet. Some people for picnics, some people play soccer, some people play softball, some people bring their dogs. And then inside the woods behind the park, there are a picnic benches. I have a friend who had her wedding reception there. You can reserve them with the city. And then behind the picnic area, there's a hike and if you're very adventurous, there is a waterfall hidden, but it's not easy to find if you don't know about it. I highly recommend this park. During the winter, the baseball field is blocked off with Fence to protect the grass but other parts of the park are accessible.

Nice park, good playground for toddlers, and for babies, nice large grassy area, sort of a mini…read morehike to walk around, some barbecue / camping table spots, right next to the rose garden, bathrooms.

Visited today with BB -- our first time here. We definitely picked the wrong season, as most of the…read moreroses have already been pruned. Even so, the garden itself is peaceful and well maintained. What really stood out was the view -- you can see the Golden Gate Bridge from the garden, which is beautiful and unexpected. There's also a constant sound of rushing water nearby (not sure if that's always there), but it added to the calm and made the few roses still in bloom more enjoyable. The garden is wheelchair accessible, though I will note the hill leading up to the entrance is very steep. They do have public restrooms and tennis courts on site, which is nice. Street parking only -- and be careful, cars come around the bend quickly. Overall, even though we missed peak bloom season, it was still worth the visit for the views and the atmosphere. I'd love to come back in the spring when everything is in full bloom.

This is a great spot for a quiet time of reflection and a stroll among some beauty. The roses were…read morein bloom many spots while we were there, and the benches along the edges gave both spots for stopping and places for reflection. I loved the set up and how you could get close to many of the blooms, as well as see all of the space from the top of you weren't inclined to walk around. They have a water feature at the bottom and some other aspects that helped add to the tranquility. It was a lovely visit and I would highly recommend going there often if you are in the area or live close.

This Adventure Playground is a very unique place for kids. Unlike regular playgrounds with fancy…read moreequipment, this one is designed to encourage creativity, imagination, and hands-on play. Children can explore a more primitive, open-ended play environment where they are free to build, paint, and create. Instead of just slides and swings, kids get to use real tools like hammers and nails, paint wood, and build their own little structures. It's amazing to watch how children use their imagination here. They learn problem-solving, creativity, teamwork, and confidence while playing. Kids can: Learn to use simple real tools (hammer, nails) Paint and decorate wood Build small structures ‍ Climb and explore the handmade wooden playground Sometimes playgrounds don't need to be fancy. What kids really need is freedom to create and explore, and this place gives them exactly that. Best part: Free admission Kids can play for hours Encourages creativity and independence Beautiful location near the water Shorebird Park Adventure Playground 160 University Ave, Berkeley, CA A great spot if you want your kids to play, explore, and use their imagination instead of just sitting with screens.

OK early morning stop. I wanted my parents and kids to see some water and we stopped by since we…read morewere in the area and this park is open early. It's too cold to go into the water but you can see a bit of San Francisco on a clear day. Its actually a perfect representation of the Bay Area for visitors. Cold, sky is gray, and rocks near the water is covered with slippery seaweed. At the very end of University Ave you can find plenty of parking and two of the odd/unique attractions. There is a giant sundial near the pier. Its 10 foot in diameter and a gift from Berkeley's sister city Sakai, Japan. There is a giant proto-asian culture style statue called "The Guardian" on the grass. The Guardian is an extrapolation of a six-inch clay and wood sculpture in a Buddhist temple in Penang. The city fiercely resisted Frederic Fierstein's plopping of the Guardian. Fierstein fiercely fought back. Fierstein gathered signatures and placed an initiative on the ballot in support of the Guardian. The worst thing about coming so early are there was a person smoking weed in their car and kept loudly cursing on the phone even with kids and old people visibly around.
