Cedar Rose Park — Attraction in Berkeley

Large grassy field with plenty of space for lots of groups to play. I frequently see lots of soccer groups (including Soccer Shots, which my son loves and has been doing for years) playing and practicing, a local Quidditch team (always fun to watch!), Etc. It's a good park for birthday parties and picnics, I frequently see bouncy houses set up here for parties on the weekends. My son actually had his last birthday party here and we had a great time, it's an excellent parks for playing with giant bubbles! Not very many picnic areas, and they can't be reserved, but if you really need to make sure you have one of the few picnic tables just come early and have someone hang out and hold it before your party gets there, or better yet bring your own folding tables as there is plenty of space to set one up. There are two playground areas, one enclosed by a fence which is better for little ones, and plenty to interest bigger kids, too. There is only one partially open-air bathroom, usually pretty clean and almost always has toilet paper, but I usually like to come here with napkins/extra toilet paper or diaper wipes in my bag just in case since there is only the one bathroom -- that's really the only drawback to this park as far as I'm concerned, and it's not even enough to take away a star, it is really just something to be aware of if you're coming here and haven't been before. There is also a community center but I've never seen it open and we have never looked into what kind of events happen there, I just know that it exists. There are even tennis, volleyball, and basketball courts, some of which are across the street. The bike trail runs right next to the whole park. Overall we love this place and come here all the time, totally...

This Berkeley park is one of the many parks and green areas along the Ohlone Greenway, a walking/biking,running path that starts all the way down near downtown Berkeley and connects with the Richmond Greenway Trail in Richmond. This park offers two playgrounds, a grass area, picnic benches with bbq, basketball, tennis and volleyball court, a small amphitheater, and sidewalks for biking and walking. The grassy area is really sunny as most trees are on the outer rim. The larger play area has a structure, standard swings, and a tire swing. The structure has two slides (a double and a spiral), steps, ladders, a bridge, and activities. The smaller play area is completely enclosed and has a large bridge with tunnels underneath, a play structure, a teeter totter, a climbing turtles a swing set with two buckets swings and a standard swings and steps that lead to nothin (😅 seriously why are they there??). The structure is made of wood and has two slides (a tube and a double), steps and a very low inclined climbing wall. This area is perfect for toddlers! There are bathrooms here and street parking was easy. The different sports areas are separate from the grassy area and play areas. You’ll have to cross a street to get to them. This park had a lot of day “campers” but nothing felt that made us...

Cedar Rose Park is a popular park for families and groups. It is a large open green space along the Ohlone Greenway, best suited for laying in the sun or casually meeting up with friends.

On the Rose Street side, there are two tennis courts and four pickleball courts. On the other side of Cedar Street (in Crystol Red Park), there is also a basketball court and racquetball court.

Cedar Rose contains two small playgrounds for toddlers and young children. The park is popular with dog owners due to the large lawn.

There is one grill and picnic area on the main lawn that is usually occupied. There are also a couple of extra picnic tables near the Cedar Street playground. Most parkgoers tend to picnic and play in the main lawn.

There is one single-occupant bathroom structure located on the Cedar...
