Walk back in time through Berkeley’s Poet’s Corner and historic Ocean View neighborhoods. 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.  

As part of our All-the-Parks-in-Berkeley series, this route packs in nine distinctive parks — big, small, and all delightfully unique. 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 will meet on the southern/Cedar Street side near the Ohlone Greenway crosswalk.
