    Great for toddler and pre-k ages.
    Janaia R.

    PROS: -Great enclosed playground for toddlers (2-5 years)...plus, you're a two minute walk from the playgrounds at the elementary school. -BATHROOMS! I'm not talkin' port-a-potties, real bathrooms! -Well lit tennis courts, baseball and soccer fields. -A picnic and BBQ spot (that you can rent out) right next to the playground....lots of picnic tables and BBQ pit. CONS: -The playground has bark mulch...so your kids can't wear sandals otherwise the bark mulch gets into their sandals. -I live right next door to the playground, yet the shaded area by the playground seems to always be colder and windier than where I live. Come prepared and wear layers! Overall, we love this park!

    Monday men's softball league
    Ernesto D.

    Oh where oh where is a decent baseball/softball field locally? Groundskeeper "Steve" does a pretty great job keeping the infield in tact: dragging it, marking the foul lines before games and keeping it maintained. Since other leagues make use of this field it's hard to keep it very maintained: soccer leagues/ practice, kickball, multiple softball nights, baseball, and other uses. Monday night mens ASA leagues are fun yet competitive. One of the umpires is terrible while the person who is in charge of organizing these leagues is terrible. Some teams are "dirty' and play dirty, umpires somewhat do their jobs. Good experience to at least do once! It is hard to keep the outfield grass maintained. Many potholes found in the outfield. There is a batting cage for anyone to use. If you stay too late (when they shut off the lights) you'll find rate surfing around from one garbage can to another which can creep you out! It's a good field but not the best and one makes the best of their availability! Play ball and play hard!

    Wish I knew about this garden when I was a student at CAL. This park is part of the landscaping…read moreprogram at CAL. Even the door was inconspicuous and at first glance, we were not sure if the entry was the secret staff entry or an actual entryway. It was my first time here and it was hidden in a quiet Kensington neighborhood. I accidentally found this park on Yelp and didn't think much about it but my hubby and I were surprised how charming this park is. It was like a little fairyland full of ethereal cottage flowers such as wispy cosmos moving with the breeze and happy bees everywhere. There were volunteers planting Benary zinnias and other flowers. There was a clean bathroom inside their office and plants offered for a donation. I saw mothers with their babies talking as if they come here all the time. There was a group of elderly women chatting and enjoying the peaceful garden. I was there for 30 minutes before lunch and only saw about 35 percent of the garden and I look forward to another trip to this secret garden in Kensington.

    This is truly a hidden jump in the area. A local friend of mine suggested this place and I visited…read more It's a little bit confusing on where to walk but once you park, you go through the gates and you walk down straight on the paved path. Very cute location and has plenty of area to walk around. It kind of feels like you transported in time to another location or another place in Europe. Highly recommend checking this out if you're in the area, it could be a cute spot or just a walk with friends. Ample parking available, but make sure you check the times before you go. Their hours are pretty limited, so be sure to check it out ahead of time.

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.

It's one of those small, somewhat…read morehidden attractions in the East Bay that you might not hear about unless someone tells you. But once you visit, it feels like a perfect little weekend activity, especially if you have kids or dogs. The main attraction is the miniature steam train that runs through the redwood forest in Tilden Regional Park. The train goes through trees, small bridges, and tunnels, and the ride is surprisingly scenic. It's about 12-15 minutes long, which feels just right--not too short, but also perfect for kids. Even though it's technically designed for children, adults definitely enjoy it too. There's something very nostalgic about riding a tiny train through the woods. One thing I really liked is how dog-friendly the place is. You'll see a lot of families bringing their dogs along, and it's honestly pretty cute seeing dogs riding the train with everyone else. The surrounding park area is also really nice, so you can easily walk around a bit or have a small picnic after the ride. That said, this place is extremely popular on weekends. There's basically always a line for the train. Because of that, timing really matters. I would strongly recommend arriving around 10:50 AM. That way you can usually still park in the main lot and get in line right before the first train of the day at 11. Getting on that first ride makes the whole visit much easier, otherwise the wait can get pretty long. Another cool thing is that on Sundays, there's actually another train experience nearby run by a train enthusiast club called Golden Gate Live Steamers. It's just further down the hill, and they usually offer free miniature train rides (donations encouraged) in the afternoon. Those trains are run by hobbyists and are even more "enthusiast style," which is pretty fun to see. Overall this place feels like one of those hidden local gems. It's simple, charming, and surprisingly fun. Great for a relaxed weekend morning--especially if you want something outdoors that works for both kids and dogs.
