Dorothy Bolte Park
About Dorothy Bolte Park
Breathtaking Hillside Views
Tucked away in Berkeley is this little 1.19-acre location that cascades down a hillside, offering some pretty spectacular views of the surrounding area. The sloping landscape isn't ideal for activities like soccer, which gives Dorothy Bolte Park a different character. Instead, you can find yourself wandering through wooded paths, lounging on grassy lawns, and finding shade under tall spruce trees - a fantastic natural retreat from the hustle of everyday life.
Playground Paradise
The showstopper here? A 40-foot concrete slide that connects two playground areas! It's a feature that both kids and adults seem to enjoy.
The park has a tot lot for younger children and a separate area for school-age kids.
And let's not forget the small sandbox - a simple but timeless addition where imaginations can run wild building castles, digging moats, or creating whatever the day inspires.
Peaceful Retreat Spots
The picnic areas provide spaces for a casual lunch or afternoon snack. Settle in at one of these spots and soak up the tranquility while taking in those lovely hillside views. No matter if you're planning a family outing or just need a quiet moment with nature, these areas provide a welcome pause in your day.
