About the Location

Waterfront Location

Lucretia Edwards Shoreline Park is a 2-acre public space located at the end of Marina Way South in Richmond, California. The park is named in honor of Lucretia W. Edwards, a local community activist and champion of open spaces.

Situated along the southern shoreline of Richmond, the park offers visitors scenic views of the San Francisco Bay. It forms part of the Bay Trail, a recreational corridor that links a series of parks and open spaces around the bay.

Natural Environment

The park's location provides excellent opportunities for bird watching, particularly in the nearby tidal wetlands and Stege Marsh. Visitors can enjoy the natural beauty while relaxing in the open spaces designed for appreciation of the bay views.

Historical Significance

Lucretia Edwards Shoreline Park serves as a tribute to the wartime contributions made by the Bay Area shipyards during World War II. It is a key component of the Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park.

The park features exhibits that highlight various locations of historical significance related to the World War II home front effort. Its proximity to the Rosie the Riveter Visitor Education Center (just a short walk away) makes it an integral part of the area's historical tourism.
