The
Wanlass Park Project area is located on San
Pablo Avenue near the north end of town. Previously
private property, the city invested into the purchase of
the 2.5 acre site to create more green space for the community. Ground
breaking is due to start in Spring 2005.
Wildcat Canyon Regional Park is situated along San Pablo Ridge and offers breathtaking views of the San Francisco Peninsula, Marin County, East County and the San Francisco Bay. Paths lead down and through the Canyon into Berkeley's Tilden Park. The Ridge Trail ties into the old Admiral Nimitz Highway, and takes hikers past the now deserted Nike Missile base. More info »
