Grizzly Peak Park

Play & Relaxation Spots

Situated in Berkeley, California, Grizzly Peak Park might be small (just 0.23 acres or 10,020 square feet), but it packs a surprising amount of charm into its modest footprint. There's something magical about this little green space, especially when morning fog wraps around it, creating a serene pocket of calm in the city.

Despite its compact size, the park offers something for everyone. Little ones can enjoy dedicated play areas for both toddlers and school-age kids. The small slide and sandpit give kids plenty of opportunities to burn energy, make friends, and let their imaginations run wild.

Get Active

Fancy shooting some hoops? The park's half basketball court with its basketball net is well-suited for a quick game or practicing your jump shot. If you're looking for more low-key activities, the grassy lawn area works beautifully for everything from stretching out with a good book to impromptu picnics or gentle games of catch.

Hungry after all that activity? You'll come across a single picnic table with bench where you can enjoy a packed lunch or snack. It's not huge, but it's just right for a small family gathering or casual meet-up with friends.

The Vibe

Perched at a higher elevation in Berkeley, this little park offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle below. While you won't find elaborate facilities here, what Grizzly Peak Park lacks in amenities, it makes up for in tranquility.

Dog owners often stroll through with their four-legged friends, adding to the park's friendly atmosphere. If you're looking for a quiet moment of reflection or a quick outdoor break, this understated neighborhood space really shines when visited during quieter hours of the day.
