As most parks, some local donated toys have accumulated, making it even more fun for the kiddo's. One picnic bench, one mini picnic bench for your little's, and a bench to rest those weary parental bones. Overall, a solid, bright tot park perfect for those toddlers to let loose and expend some energy.

This is the place. Also, Hidden Cafe is right there for great coffee and snacks. (Closed Monday) This park stretches for a few blocks behind the busy streets with tennis courts, a kids playground and a clean creek flowing through it. Kids were playing in the creek and having a great time. The rope play structure is awesome. A very nice place to get away from it all in Berkeley and let's be real, there's a lot to get away from on Berkeley.

I like Cedar Rose Park…read more - Plenty of street parking. - There are bathrooms - I wouldn't say super clean, but they exist. - 2 playgrounds - 1 older structure and 1 pretty big and nice tot/older kid structure with sand pit and swings. Not epic, by any means but suffices. Why you love Cedar Rose Park is for the huge field. On most weekdays, kids are having soccer practice (and it can host multiple teams) and there will be a gaggle of dogs playing - it is most definitely a dog meetup at least at that 6/7pm hour. Weekends are filled with families and birthday parties. Part of the bike route connecting downtown Berkeley and the Ohlone Greenway, so a nice bike route with benches sprinkled amongst it with tennis/pickleball courts across the street. Overall a great, green open space in our little city.

Nice small park in a residential area in Berkeley!!…read more The Ohlone Greenway trail, goes through this park. The large grassy area was filled with people the day I was here. There's also a small community center and playground here, and it seems very popular with the local residents. Nice park!!

I have never been to an urban farm in West Oakland and my friend had her big birthday bash here and…read moreit was fabulous as there is plenty of street parking and the weather was perfect for an outdoor party! Plenty of space and shade. There is also a kitchen with refrigerator to store food and drinks and a handicap bathroom as well. It was a great place to have a party. She anticipated over 100 people and only half came so there was plenty of room for children to play, seating for everyone, room to dance and she also had our friend's band play as well as music from a dj!

Such a gem. There is a children's play area, kitchen, live animals, and so much more. I love how…read morecommunity oriented this park is. We had a nice meal prepared in the park's kitchen; many of the ingredients came straight from the farm. Today there were blueberry/blackberry waffles, strawberries, cornstarch waffles(corn came from farm, see picture), watermelon, and fruit infused water. The chicken coup is towards the back where people are allowed to go in, view the chickens' home, and feed them. Someone mentioned that there are rabbits as well but we did not see them today. On to the childrens' play area. It's a little small but meets the needs of the park. There are two swings, a rock climbing wall that leads to the slide, monkey bars, a see-saw, and some other stuff that I don't know the name of. There is even a cute little house and a shaded bench area where parents can chill and watch the kids. Of course, there are gardens everywhere. The plots belong to various families, it sounds like many of them live in the area. I believe there is a public garden as well. I checked the website before coming and could not find any sort of events schedule, but the farm does have an Instagram page so hopefully I can find some helpful info there. The park is located in an industrial area. In fact they are building some condos(?) right next to the park which looks a bit odd. Still, I look forward to returning to this park for a quick escape.

I'm here at this location documenting some of the iconic and totally "OG" (original gangsta) places…read morehere in Oakland. This time though, I have a guide who really is "OG" as he grew up right here in the neighborhood. He remembers and tells me of this park when it was here 60 years ago, way before I was born! .... he was just a little kid then, running across the grass at this park on his way to Lakeview Elementary school on the other side of the freeway. Back then kids that age were safe even in Oakland running about with out parents dragging them around on a leash! This park no longer has the original namesake playground equipment, the metal flying saucer that Astro Park is named after. They had swings with just bark on the ground as padding. The awful icky restrooms are still there next to the library. Can't believe those restrooms are like over 70 years old! He said they were icky back then, I didn't wanna look! Seems like this park is very popular now. My guide says, back 60 years ago, this park was just lightly used. He even remembers the bus line numbers he took .... the 57 on Mac and the 12 on Grand. Doesn't mean much to me ... I didn't grow up here!

I like this Park. It has a good sized play structure for the kids. There is also a parking lot…read morealong with restrooms. But I really enjoy the large grassy area, big enough to play football, soccer, or just a good game of catch. It's also a good place to chill out, watch all the traffic, freeway and all, along with people watch. It reminds me of the Marina Green in San Francisco. Right there in the heart of the city, a nice place to just enjoy Oakland!!

The playground itself is pretty small. Has the usual condom wrappers underneath the play structure…read morebut luckily no condoms to be found. It looks like some parts of the play structure broke off but it's not a hazard. We enjoyed the surrounding area much more than the play structures. There are ample opportunities for finding sticks and fishing things out of the water, climbing stairs, picking flowers and wandering about. You can forget that you are right off of busy street as you climb the stairs and look into the trees. It's a beautiful area. Everybody using the park when we were there was pleasant, calm and peaceful. It's really worth checking out.

This place does get really hot in the summer, so the play structure burns the children if they're wearing shorts or dresses.
