Shoreline park is a beautiful walking path and a green belt on Harbor Bay Isle. It's about 6 miles long and runs into the Harbor Bay ferry. There is a gravel path and cement path for cyclists. On any giving day you can find people walking their dogs, relaxing and watching the beautiful bay and enjoying sunsets. There are several benches throughout the path and they also have restrooms and plenty of trash receptacles. In some sections, they even have picnic tables and barbecue pits. One area also has an outlook and sandbox for children to play in. While out enjoying the path, you can guarantee you will find some beautiful wildlife, and a lot of pictures are taken by photographers and people just blown away by the beautiful view of San Francisco. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a clean, beautiful and romantic path. read more

I think Shoreline Park is just as long as the Bay Farm Island Shoreline Trail!! I see 'Shoreline Park' signs all along this 1.5 mile stretch. Now, it is broken up by houses, but every patch of green grass is the park, I think. So, it starts near the Harbor Bay Club and ends at the Harbor Bay Isle Ferry Terminal. There are 3 restrooms along this park, and all 3 have water fountains. The Bay Farm Island Trail that runs along this park connects to the Harbor Bay Trail, which runs along Harbor Bay Parkway. The largest grassy area of this park is next to the Ferry Terminal, that's where you see most people hanging out. I run along this stretch very often, right next to the water with great bay views. It's often windy here, in the summer it's soothing, but when it's cold it gets even colder here. This is a great park on Bay Farm Island in Alameda!! read more

I have lived here in Mountain View most of my life and have been walking in Shoreline for many years. What has happened to it? I know the landscape has been changed and it looks quite barren compared to before. I do enjoy seeing the birds, rabbits and the cool breeze on the walking path. Except for the issue of having to turn around constantly to check if there is a speeding bicyclist coming up behind me. When is there going to be separate paths for the bikes? Although there are signs to slow down I rarely see this happening. Its not very relaxing at all. I go less and less now. Too bad. read more

Great little park removed from the hustle and bustle. There are trails on the edge of the island with stunning views of San Francisco and the Island of Alameda. Along the main path are several picnic bench areas perfect for picnics and parties. If you follow some of the paths that lead into the residential areas you'll find waterways, ponds, pedestrian bridges, mini beaches, playgrounds, and free libraries. read more

My 1st review on 01-01-2021, this is my favorite walking and or bike riding trail in Alameda on BayFarm Island. Beautiful views of the bay & even a few picnic areas to just chill. This was my go to walking area while I was sheltering in place during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. More or less a local community favorite place for recreational walking, dog walking, running, biking etc...It will continue to be my go to walking trail for 2021 & for years to come! read more

Good social distancing place to visit. We did a picnic with friends and enjoyed the sunset.

This is the most beautiful place you can have gatherings in Alameda overall (Bayfarm or main Alameda.) Beautiful view, no dog poop anywhere & quiet. They have a parking lot, but it actually is best to park on the street, closer to where you decide to claim your spot. Great place to have your dog run around, and play fetch. Come early, since there's only 3 spots to claim. My place to go, for sure!! read more

Normally a small, narrow strip of land does not make for the greatest of parks, yet that is the basis for Shoreline Park. Of course, if it just happens to be on the edge of San Francisco Bay, with expansive views of the distant city...well, now you're talking! Lovely location for a jog, walk, panic, bike ride, or sitting on a bench - you can't go wrong with this view. Two hour street parking is available on Adelphian Rd. A bathroom can be found nearby at the adjacent Alameda Harbor Bay Ferry. read more

My favorite Uncle lives in Phoenix and at least once a week we share a 1/2 hour of texting back and forth. Usually these texts include us taking photos of ourselves where ever we are at or of what ever we are doing at the moment. It just so happened that I was killing time in Alameda at Shoreline Park. This is my hood away from my hood because I spend so much time out here. The day was so clear and I could see San Francisco as clear as a bell. The Bay Bridge was even glinting in the sun. The views were spectacular on this day. So boom, what better way to win the texting how do ya do's than shoot some shots of the City By the Bay and send them to boiling ass Phoenix? Any Gay man 25 miles out of San Francisco would be longing to be where I was standing. And of course he was. "Just beautiful" was the text I got back. I know that's why I come here just to kill time. read more

From Shoreline Park in Alameda, there are beautiful views of San Francisco and the Bay Bridge in the distance. Fun place to take the kids. There is a little play area for them. Picnic tables and benches are available as well. Nice place to hangout with friends and/or family. Wifey and I did not stick around at the park too long because we wanted to continue walking along Shoreline Trail (which I recommend doing). Have fun folks! read more

Last year and this year we held a birthday BBQ here. I might get uproar over this, but according to Google map, Bay Farm seems to be a separate island from Alameda connected by a bridge. To make things MORE confusing, Alameda has a Shoreline Park and Bay Farm has its own Shoreline Park as well. This year as well as last year people looked at the invitation, saw Shoreline Park and ignored the intersection we gave them. They ended up at the wrong Shoreline Park. So this place gets a minus star for being extremely confusing navigating to. However, once you've found it, you'll find the most beautiful view of San Francisco Bay. You'll be able to see the Bay Bridge, San Francisco & the San Mateo Bridge. The BBQ pits are hardly ever taken. You are right there by the water. There is a HUGE grass area to play. There is plentiful parking. And 5 minutes drive up Mecartney Rd a shopping center for things you forgot to bring. Trust me...it's gorgeous...how gorgeous? Last year when we were throwing the BBQ ... there was a wedding going on next door. We turned down the music and tried to not let the BBQ smell run over of course...but yes...see?...that gorgeous. I think my mom found this spot when she got lost in Alameda/Bay Farm...whatever they want to call it. My theory is that Bay Farm people are purposely hiding it from us! This Shoreline doesn't show up on searches, not even a real park according to Google map! Doode...why am I even sharing this secret spot on Yelp? Because I love you guys and this area should get the recognition it deserves. I've seen people jog and run their dogs here. I've seen a wedding here. I've seen couples come here for romance. I've hosted many BBQs here. Just trust me on this one. But bring a jacket ok. It's windy, sometimes cold and today it sprinkled. Don't do the flip-flop, short mini skirt/shorts, dress thing...not cool. read more

Shoreline Park, which runs along the bay front on Bay Farm Island in Alameda, consists of walking and a biking path than extends for about three miles from Bay Farm Island Bridge on the north side to the Harbor Bay Ferry Terminal and Harbor Bay Business Park on the southwest side. Joggers, walkers, bikers, and people walking their dogs take advantage of this scenic park, which has one of the most beautiful views of an urban park in the Bay Area. You get views of the East Bay Hills, San Francisco and the Peninsula down to the San Mateo Bridge from the park. Sections of the park also has bbq pits and tables for picnickers. Living in the area, I take this park for granted and try to remember to make use of it as much as I can. If you're in the area, check it out and you'll be amazed with the views of this park. read more

It's nice. Has Treasure Island like views of the SF cityscape. If less liter it would be nicer

My favorite place to walk! I've gone to school in Alameda all of my life and it is my dream to own a home near this park so I can raise my kids here. This trail stretches on for awhile and has a couple of mini parks in between where you can chill for a picnic. I love admiring the houses on this trail, but the only downfall is it gets super windy sometimes. read more

Beautiful secluded park. Very windy. Great romantic view. My husband and I loved it!

1. Best park on the island. You can run, you can bike, you can try to swim (although I strongly discourage it because the water is polluted) just don't litter. 2. The trail goes pretty much all the way around the Bay Farm and parts of Alameda, makes a nice route for long-distance running and biking. 3. The best place on the island to catch the sunset with SF in the background read more

Gorgeous View Of The Bay & The City Awesome Running & Biking Trail. This has to be one of my favorite places to trail run and bike. The view is mentally empowering during my 5 mile runs here. Runners and bikers have an option to trail in the dirt and or trail on the paved roads. Shoreline Park also connects to the Martin Luther King Jr Shoreline Park at the Dolittle Bridge where you can continue you your trail into San Leandro. read more

Very beautiful! Great place to watch the sunset because they have little benches around the area. Pet friendly & kid friendly. On clear days you can see San Francisco quite well. So it can really make for an amazing sunset with the big city in the background. Also, there is a bike, running, walking trail. You can choose between pavement or dirt for your trail. We choose the dirt one, we were clearly feeling very adventurous ;) read more

Shoreline Park runs right along the bay front of the northwest corner of Bay Farm Island for over three miles. It is a part of the Bay Trail and basically a bike path with some lawns and trees and plants between the Bay and the Harbor Bay Isle planned community. It starts just to the east of the Bay Farm Bridge with a bike path running along the Bay at what the locals call Mt. Trashmore, which is a small hill created by the old city dump where you can see piping that continues to vent methane to this day. The bike path runs west past the Harbor Bay Club, an artificial waterway, and some really nice homes along the entrance to San Leandro Bay, and then turns into a couple of nice parks with picnic tables along Seaview Parkway east and west of Aughinbaugh Way, separated by a bunch of huge custom homes. I've seen weddings and memorial services held at these parks. The bike path continues to run west past more very nice homes to the end of Bay Farm Island and then turns south along the Bay and emerges into another park with more picnic tables and a beautiful view of the Bay at Adelphian Way and Mecartney Road near another artificial waterway. These parks are under-utilized because its usually too windy, but on a hot day, it is probably the place to be. The bike path continues to run south along the Bay past the Harbor Bay Ferry terminal and the Harbor Bay Business Park before ending at the Hampton Inn where Harbor Bay Parkway turns east. But you can continue to take a bike path north along Harbor Bay Parkway past the Oakland Raiders training facility and then past the east side of the Alameda municipal golf course until you cross Doolittle Drive and end up back at Mt. Trashmore. Just to east of Mt. Trashmore is a interesting, large artificial lagoon for birds and other wildlife that is constantly being flushed by the tidal action of the Bay. Obviously, you can ride or jog in either direction. Either way, it's a great place to bike or jog in a big circle for about five miles. read more

I love to run here... to and from, or through it. Makes a nice place to stop for a stretch with a gorgeous view of SF, and ample space so as not to disturb anyone else there. There are picnic tables and a huge grassy area. unpaved path right along the water, and paved bike trail along the street. Parking is along the street, otherwise you can probably park by the ferry terminal which is next door. Weather is consistently breezy, so bring a jacket just in case. read more

This place and the surrounding area is beautiful! Very nice people & safe! You get a great view and it's great to take a walk, bike, bring your pets or kids. Not crowded at all. Plenty of trail space and breathtaking views. I love to exercise here after work. read more

The view of the bay is so beautiful and breathtaking from this park. It's a great park to have a BBQ, a big party and yes, even a wedding! Our friends had their wedding here a couple weeks ago, they had rented chairs and decorated and even pitched a canopy and tables to have a candy bar, buffet, and more. I've never been here before but I would never have thought driving by, that someone would have a wedding here but it worked out great, and like I said before the backdrop of the bay was just gorgeous to stare at. read more

I love this park- great views, nice, flat path for walking or biking, plenty of places to picnic or lounge on the grass!

Shoreline Park was a wonderful discovery. A great place to walk our dog enjoying the panoramic view of the San Fran skyline, Bay Bridge and shipyard, we had to keep her on a tight leash to keep from chasing rock squirrels and a few jack rabbits! We saw no doggie bags so bring your own. read more

Hard to get via smartphone. Follow Mecartney Rd all the way down and there you will be. Ample parking on the weekend. Great place for a walk or for snapping pictures of SF cityscape on a clear day. You can fish there too, or at least this little old man does. Cool and relaxing. Bring a scarf and a camera, cause the skyline is majorly photogenic. read more

Great place to bring the kids and hang out for some family fun - on the cheap. Clean and good area.
