I’ve been going to Edgewood park for 25 year. They have made wonderful improvements with the nature center and trail maintenance. However the main drawback is parking. Because it’s become so popular, folks often have to park on the street.

This location is fairly easy to find. It has a pretty small parking lot for about 20-30 cars. There is a short walkway from the parking lot to the field, pool and “temple”. There is a large open field with a shallow reflecting pool lined by trees. At one end is a short wide pedestal to look down the pool and to the large structure at the other end. The large structure was built to commemorate where the waters lead down into the San Francisco and Bay area. It is a very neat hidden gem of a park for the area. Very Peaceful.
