As part of our All-the-Parks-in-Berkeley series, this route packs in nine distinctive parks. We’ll stroll streets named for literary greats, admire some Victorian homes and 19th-century landmarks, and see how these neighborhoods have evolved over the decades. Dogs are more than welcome; they might just add a few new favorite spots to their sniff list as we explore green spaces and history together.

We’ll be exploring whimsical Point Richmond—a fun, hilly, bay-front neighborhood just south of the Richmond Bridge. The golden hour is the best time to check out the Point’s wonderful Wave Garden, a magical space with beautiful sculptures, landscaping, and views. We’ll also wander on hidden stairs and paths to Keller Beach and to “Little Point Richmond,” the Bay Area’s absolute BEST collection of fairy houses.
