    I love catching these sunsets
    Mel L.

    Arguably the most peace place in Vallejo! The marina is large and sites nicely on the west side of the city and stretches up alongside it until you get the Mare Island bridge (walking from this starting point to the Carquinez bridge is approx 10 miles r/t). A very lively area with a Yatcht and rowing boat storage, a walking and biking trail, and close to the vallejo ferry terminal (which includes public transport info) and bus station. They even have a few good restaurants (seafood and a brewery) worth checking out.

    This was my very first time visiting the Vallejo Waterfront since I have moved here two years ago. I told my wife that I needed to get out of the apartment and get some fresh air. We drove to the Vallejo water front and had a great time. I loved the water view! The trail is a great pace walk or jogging environment. I really enjoyed seeing the fishermen and women out with their lines out waiting for fish. This might be a good place to take my grandfather out sometime. Very pet friendly environment ! I loved seeing all the different dogs enjoying a good walk. Even though this location is placed in a pretty busy area, I was too surrounded by all the nature and scenery, to even notice any extra background noise. There were even some restaurants that I have never paid attention to that were seen on the trail. The best part of that walk, was just being able to experience relaxation, fresh air, friendly people and even great scenery. I will use this trail as a workout option. The waterfront is GREAT.

    Which fish is safe to eat?

    Very cool to walk or jog along with view of naval shipyard and ferry. Bicycle is another option. Plenty of parking. Two cafe inside the ferry building. Get a meal or a beer. Walk the dog. This is a quiet place to sit with a cup of coffee and just hang out with some reading. The area was clean. Just very tranquil.

    If you are looking for a great place to: take a walk, walk your dog, fly your kite, toss your frisbee, chase your kids, ride your bike Grab a cup of Joe, Enjoy a waterfront meal Kick it at a lively bar sit in front of a fireplace or much much more..... The Vallejo Waterfront Park has it going on. It's the home of the annual pirate festival and the Vallejo Intertribal Council Pow Wow. It's also the home of the Front Room Restaurant, the Vallejo Ferry Terminal, a Dentists offices and much more. There is tons of free parking across the street and it's within walking distance of the downtown library!

    If I'm not here dis/embarking the ferry, I'm almost always here to go for a run, since it's a relatively safe area to do so. The length of the waterfront--about a mile (there is a mile marker painted into the ground, starting point by the bait shop)--makes it perfect for back and forth walks and short runs. For longer runs, I'll add in a few laps around the River Park marshland trail and will sometimes head into Mare Island for a bit of nostalgia and peace and quiet, as I nearly have the roads all to myself. I find that other runners are also more likely to greet you, as opposed to running in the City. The grassy area reminds me of the Marina Green, where families and friends picnic, kids play sports and roam free. It's also home base to local festivals throughout the year.

    Restrooms are in Ferry Terminal. Great place to take a stroll along the waterfront. You get to see the passing ferry, passing boats, even the occasional sea lion! Plenty of trees to rest under. A few benches here and there. Their are also huge anchor's for the kids to climb on. Bring the kites too, such the perfect place! We bought a kite earlier in the day and pulled it out again here! There is a restaurant and bar that omits a delicious smell when walking by! There is also a coffee shop in the Ferry terminal.

    Towards the end with a run down gangsta lean park bench. *chill*

    Riding my bike along the waterfront when the sun comes up is probably my best view of Mare Island. Truly the contrast of sunlight on the island's maritime history is beautiful! Four stars because if I ride the whole waterfront I get a flat tire...thanks to excess amount of thorns. There will always be room for continued improvement to the waterfront. As of now the waterfront offers spacious walking space for any type of "reactive dog" and even a big grassy area they can frolic on. Be conscious and pick up after your dog! Recently I watched the city put in new stationary trash cans...really sweet! Now, if we can some how work together for some thorn cleanup I'm all there every day! *early mornings have occasional homeless sleeping at the water* Nothing like the homeless of San Francisco, but good to let ya know it exists.

    I love the waterfront park now, compared to what it used to look like and the vibes it used to give out. It's like a different city (area). Great to run, i believe the mile tracker readings are on the ground. Used to come here for a stroll or walk our dog. You rarely see the crowds that sit around get drunk and smoke anymore. which is great because i used to hate walking to my car alone with out someone coming to talk to me. Or just staring at you from the parking stall next to you. The bathrooms are usually pretty decent inside the Ferry Ticket Terminal. the area is great and convenient when they have events going on.

    Even took a selfie hahaha...

    This is a great place to go for a walk,jog,run or bicycling! There an open field to fly a kite or kick or throw a ball. A local martial arts club works out here on the grass. The are a few restaurants out such as The Waterfront which has great Bloody Mary's a coffee shop and a brewery in the ferry building. The ferry ride to San Francisco is a nice way to get there. There is just one pet pea I have dog walkers! Please pick up your dogs poop! Substitute with the S word cause that's what I'm thinking. It's clearly posted! Bad enough you have to watch out for pigeon and seagull pooping from above. Let's all enjoy what we have to share while we still can enjoy it

    Really great place to take in the sun on a really nice day! I started coming out here back in o7' when I got into running, I train for races like Bay to Breakers here. The only drawback is having to watch for dog poop! There's always a nice breeze coming in from the S.F. Bay. Other walkers, cyclist and runners seem to keep to their selves besides an occasional hello or good morning. A really nice coffee shop named Panama Red, the Frontroom and the Sardine Can restaurants can be found here, Sardine Can has live jazz on Sundays. Fish launch your boat or catch the ferry to S.F. From here. All in all the Vallejo waterfront is a cool laid-back place to frequent.

    And the best park award goes to...Children's Wonderland Park! From uniqueness of play structures --…read moreto cleanliness and space -- this park easily takes the cake among others I've been to. And I do not say that lightly. As soon as you enter through the castle doors, you are transported into a mini Disneyland found in Vallejo, CA. As someone who was raised in this city, I did not expect this. This park truly Wow'd me for several reasons. One, the uniqueness of the play structures. There's a handful of them including a tea cup/ tea pot area, train station and train, pirate ship, pumpkin carriage and more. Our personal favorite; the tea cup with the connected slide, so fun!! My family and I easily spent two hours here. You can also book some spots for parties. I highly recommend checking out the GVRD's website. Theres shaded gazebos and many picnic tables. They even have story time and other events here. Theres a parking lot available and hours as well. They are closed on Tuesdays. 100 out of 10 recommend this park.

    Cute place to take the kids. Basically a park with 4 playgrounds. As a non-Vallejo resident paying…read more$22 for the 4 of us felt steep but whatever. My kids loved the Dino sand area and honestly so did I. But I wasn't prepared for the water and muddy sand. There's a train play area and then a ship one as well a large generic playground and some additional smaller attractions. Younger kids could easily spend a couple hours playing here.

    This is probably my favorite dog park in the Solano County area. For a regular people park it's…read moregreat too! Lots of paved paths for walking. Baseball fields. A skate park. Exercise equipment. A large field for soccer games. Lots of parking. Restrooms and water fountains. Play structures for children. I considered buying a house in this area partially for this park. The dog park is separated into two areas which are not connected. The small dog park is very flat and down some steps or a slope from the restroom picnic area. The large dog park is to the left and goes on a hill. The large dog park has two paved paths. One is like a switch back. The other goes straight up the hill. There's water fountains for the dogs at both the top and bottom of the park. There are also two double gated entrances. The park has some agility structures at the top of the hill, some metal benches throughout, waste bags and trash bins. The landscaping is mostly dirt/bark. There are plenty of trees in the park so the dogs to sniff. It's a great park for the sniffari type of dogs. It's also quite large! It's great for getting your steps in to walk up and down the paths. Most of the people I've met there have been great. On one occasion I have seen a dog walker bringing in 10+ dogs at once... The only words of caution I have would be to dress for the wind and in the summer I have witnessed a snake in the dog park.

    Cordelia community Park is the hidden gym of Fairfield parks! This park has :…read more 3 CTVLL baseball fields, 1 rec baseball field, free open lawn space for soccer, volleyball, golf, workout equipment along the trails, two parks with multiple activities for kids of all ages, multiple picnic and reservation areas for parties with covered patios, barbecue pits and grills, bocce ball courts, 2 ENCLOSED dog parks for small vs large, ample parking , super clean bathrooms (for rec parks), tennis courts, basketball courts, And a skate park! The only downside is no matter what because of the location expect high winds at almost all times of the year and day. One of the greatest things I love about this park and I hope to preserve is how clean it is . Rarely as their trash scattered and almost always the parties pick up after themselves where they can meaning they put their stuff and bag it up and put it in the trash or take it out to the dumpsters. This matters when you have a community space ! there's also bulletin boards throughout that show when the parks are reserved for events or when the tables have reservations for parties. (to book reservations or parties you do it directly through the Fairfield rec and parks website.) Last but not least they have a shared book library . It's been there for about three years now I believe.
