One could easily spend all day here with the family and return for repeat visits. There are facilities for picnics, hiking, biking and running trails, boat launch, swimming, wind surfing, and incredible views of the ocean and the airplane landing at SFO. Nearby is the museum. The whole area is quite beautiful and offers a huge variety of activities for... More

We stopped at Togos for sandwiches and drinks on the way. There is a charge to enter but the ranger told us it was free on... More

I lived in the bay area for 30+ years and just discovered this place now...All I can say is that it's a great place for families of all ages. We spent one Sunday day playing on the playground, picnic on the grass, walk near the water to collect shells, hike a bit to the "mini zoo and exploratorium" at http://www.curiodyssey.org.... More

Wonderful trails that hike either around the marsh, where there are plenty of birds and other animals to look for (including Marsh Mice and Muskrats), or over the top of the hills to get to the beautiful views of SF Bay. The Bay side can be quite breezy, but it's a great view on a clear day!

This is a great place to have a picnic or barbecue. There is a lot of space and many areas with picnic benches and bbq's. We had a cinco de mayo party here with a bunch of friends. We had a pinata (a lot of trees) and there was a big open field for us to fly kites and play... More
