Frederick Mini Park

A Glimpse of Berkeley History

Positioned on Arlington Avenue sits Frederick Mini Park, a charming green space with roots stretching back to 1921. That's when local businessman J.F. Hink decided to gift this land to Berkeley - creating what would become a serene neighborhood retreat that's been offering moments of peace for over a century.

Just the Right Size

At 0.24 acres (about 10,450 square feet), this park isn't trying to compete with Berkeley's larger green spaces. Instead, it knows exactly what it is: a simple, tranquil pocket of nature well-suited for when you need a quick breather from daily life. The modest lawn area provides just enough room to spread out and enjoy a moment of calm.

Simple Charm

What Frederick Mini Park lacks in fancy amenities, it makes up for in straightforward appeal. There's something refreshing about a space that doesn't try to be everything to everyone - it's simply a pleasant green patch within the residential landscape.

Since it's nestled in the Berkeley Hills, you'll notice the park has some natural slopes and contours. This characteristic terrain adds a bit of dimension to this little neighborhood green, reflecting the rolling nature of the surrounding area.
