I attended "All About Sharks" this past Sunday, a free event presented by a local high school student, which was very informative about the species. They do plenty of events like this regularly, covering a range of interesting topics related to the wildlife in the area. Also went on a peaceful and relaxing hike along the LaRiviere Marsh Trail over the weekend, and walked the jetty trail near the dumbarton pier (we drove there from the Visitor Center, as it's several miles away and we had limited time). Both are flat and easy hikes surrounded by nature and scenery. There are a couple other trails nearby as well, providing a variety of options.

There were multiple picnic areas with tables and benches available, where I was able to enjoy a meal before exploring the different pathways winding through the park. Found a cypress grove, several ponds, the alameda creek, and a large grassy field. A busy tennis court as well, brightly lit after dark. A playground next to the parking lot, and a restroom conveniently located nearby too. I appreciated the scenery and peaceful atmosphere, along with the occasional squirrel scampering by, during my time here on this beautiful summer evening.

Which makes sense when you're in a concrete urban jungle day in and day out - we just weren't meant to live this way. I literally searched Yelp for a park in the area on my way home, and Lakeshore came up. Tucked away in a residential area, Lakeshore is a small-ish, serene, well-kept park with, as the name implies, a lake being the central point. I strolled on the path for a bit. I'm not sure how long the path is, but it seems like a good spot to get a decent walk in, and there were a few walkers and joggers. After stretching my legs for a bit, I grabbed some bench and watched the birds - geese (these guys are huge!), seagulls, ducks, and crows - hanging out and eyeballing me to determine if I had food. They were so cute. There is nothing that gets me feeling better fast than being around animals. The human animals that passed by were nice as well, with smiles and hellos, how refreshing. I spent some time just sitting and resetting. It was good. I need to do this more. Nice park, enjoyed a much-needed reprieve here, and would return.

It's pretty small, but you can find some interesting shots. There's the windmill, the pergola, a bench. There was some side location with a nice lawn and fountain, (California Nursery Park Museum & Office), but there was a guy smoking weed there, so it became unpleasant to take photos in the succulent area. The rose garden is on the right as you drive in to the nursery. From the parking lot, you'll have to walk back towards Niles Blvd. It's not Filoli, but hey, no one is stopping you from volunteering to make something better in your community. We need more doers and less complainers.

Park size is decent and well kept with Trees, Picnic area, Children's play area, Grass, Basketball court, etc. Trees are large. The Picnic area with benches to seat and eat. The lawn is very well maintained. Kids will enjoy this place as there is a lots of grass area to runaround. Lol! The Children's play area is far from Cedar so you no need to worry about it bring close to the busy street. The basketball court in the middle of park looks good too. There are Many benches to just seat and relax. Saw many sparrows and squirrels playing around were looking so cute! The pathways to walk is clean. And found many spots to do small photography session. The only thing I noticed is at children's play area the slide was unclean. Everything else was quite clean and well maintained. Overall, If you want to just sit back and relax somewhere then this park is a very good place for you!

Really nice park for children and dogs!…read more They have a good sized dog park with area for small dogs and big dogs. Some climbing structures for the dogs as well. Picnic tables scattered throughout the park, with lots of beautiful trees providing shade over most of the park. There are two adjacent playground areas. One side has a large caterpillar to climb on, along with a dinosaur teeter-totter and baby swings (only, no regular swings) The other side has another big playground structure, along with this rock formation that wraps around it. My kids mainly enjoyed climbing the rock formation that had little 'caves' that they played house in forever! Basketball courts, tennis courts as well. The only awful thing about this park is how absolutely vile the bathrooms smelled, like worse than most porta-potties.

a review from @amom2kidsandapark…read more It was hot today and this park seemed like the perfect destination...sea breeze, amiright? No. No, I'm wrong. There's a large man-made hill between the park and the shore blocking any and all "sea breeze". With zero to no shade over the structure, it's safe to say we didn't stay here long. The park is pretty large with two ball fields and plenty of grass in between (no permanent outfield boards so it's essentially a huge open field with some dirt and a backstop on either corner). The entire park has paved sidewalks all around, especially near the playground where the sidewalks weave in and out of picnic tables and a man-made grove of small/someday giving shade trees. That's one thing this park really has going for it, there's a lot of trees. The play structure is in a circle format with bridges or a crawl tunnel connecting platform to platform. This format really allows for younger children not yet ready for the suspended lily pads or monkey bars to have fun and enjoy the entire structure. There are three slides (sidewinder, tube, double), steps, various ladders, activities, and the before mentioned crawl tube that can almost act as a fourth slide because of the angle. No swings or playground extras. While there is a parking lot and bathroom it couldn't be any farther from the playground. We parked on Point Lobos Ct which is much closer to the playground but we still had to walk a few minutes to get to the playground since it's tucked in the back corner. This park is great for biking and scootering or even stroller walks since it has a lot of long sidewalks.

From Lake Ontario all you see is two walls and grass and a little path - and it curves so you can't see far down at all. Much larger entrances to the park are found on the other roads that loop around like Lake Oneida St. There are large open parts of the park that face houses. Play ground and green grass and on a warm evening lots of neighbors there. Not a destination - meant for the locals - but nothing stops you from visiting. Beautifully designed neighborhood - this park caters to the more dense housing around it. Single family detached houses are around the larger park Sylvester P Harvey. Friendly and inviting. Let your dog sniff something new.
