This was my first time back after at least a decade, unless you count our unsuccessful attempt at taking my bf's boat out from the Wes McClure Boat Launch several years ago when the tide was too low. Not much has changed with this place. Went for a run on Sunday, and took in the sunset views on this beautiful evening, while making my way around the small lagoon at the park. The trail connects to the SF Bay Trail, so there's plenty of options for getting your steps in. The marina was busy as expected on the weekend but not as crowded as it gets during the spring and summer. I like that there are exercise stations along the pathway, as well as a few benches situated among the rocky shoreline. Parking and restrooms are conveniently available on site, too. The place isn't perfect, but it's one of the nicest spots in the San Leandro area.

A beautiful spot!…read more The Berkeley Marina quickly became one of my favorite weekend spots while going to school in the city. There is something here for quite literally everyone of all ages and physical capabilities. I visited on a warm Saturday afternoon and was pleased to see there were people literally everywhere. On the land, there were dozens of children playing on the playgrounds. My friends and I were walking by the Adventure Playground (a wooden, quite industrial-looking play area), where we heard what sounded like the hammering of wood. I jokingly asked, "what is that noise? Are the kids in there building the playground themselves?" To my surprise, they literally were. This playground offers the unique opportunity for children to build and design the play area themselves. There are forts, towers, and even a zipline. This is a great way for kids to build community and work with their hands. Right next to this is a more "traditional" playground with slides, swing sets, and all the works. There are also many walking/running trails around the whole marina. Along these paths there are benches and tables where you can have a picnic and enjoy the beautiful view of the bay. You'll see people being active throughout the whole area. The main paths are paved so they are accessible to those with mobility issues. There are public restrooms available that are relatively clean. The water activities are endless here. There are kayak rentals, sail boats, and just plain swimmers. There are multiple docks to launch small crafts and to take a dip. In the shallower beachy areas, there were children swimming. If you look off to the distance, you'll see the strong open water swimmers practicing in their wetsuits. You may even see people learning how to use a hydrofoil board. People are often flying their kites off the bay's breeze too. I believe this is truly a spot for everyone who enjoys the outdoors. But, must I warn you...beware of the squirrels because they WILL run up to you and they sure aren't shy.

There are only a few places where you can easily enter the Bay for a swim ‍. Coyote Beach is located just south of San Francisco International Airport, which is pretty cool. The landing path of planes go almost over the island. So close that you can almost feel the the excited passengers' anticipation of their impending arrival. In addition to swimming, you can bike around the point, check out the harbor and the environmental center. This is the Bay, so expect a little wind. Well, actually a lot of wind .

I enjoyed that it's minutes away from the none stop speed racers on 101 (and everyday life stresses) It truly was unexpected and viewing the waters was very relaxing. Hard to explain on screen, but it was natures relaxer for me. Grabbing a bite to eat near by Or pack a brown bag or a picnic basket are in my horirons, plus bring a sketch pad and just doodle away.
