Tilden Park mini steam train


Tilden park is located in the hills near Oakland, Emeryville and Berkeley. Like any big park, there are things to see throughout.

We have typically taken the kids there for both the park, little farm and Tilden natural area for some short hikes.

But we’ve mainly come to experience the steam train.

The location is actually further south. Take Central Park Dr until you hit the Tilden Merry Go Around.

 

16th Avenue Tiled Steps and Grandview Park


One of the places I like to take people that visit is this spot. On a clear day, it is gorgeous.

In recent years, it has gotten super busy as now it is on everyone’s radar! Can’t blame them though.

As you can see from the map above,  just a few more steps, you get to go to Grandview park. It is windy at times, but it does have a good 360 view of the nearby neighborhoods!
