Bay Area Hidden Gems: Off-the-Beaten-Path Photo Spots

I've lived in Silicon Valley for 18 years, on weekends we usually go to different areas of the bay. We had never been to Hayward, we went because I wanted to see this Japanese park. We arrived mid-morning, a sunny day so the light was sublime. I bring my Canon to these personal events and they really did come out with some beautiful photos.The garden is small, but it is very much worth it. There was a group accompanying two newlyweds. In the middle is an attractive pond with a small waterfall, koi, and a family of turtles, many trees and one in particular that is full of hummingbirds once a year. This is a beautiful place. My husband and I were looking for somewhere inexpensive and near to home to enjoy a sunny winter day when we found this place. The park is actually in a neighborhood setting, and there is a small nearby parking lot, a closer disabled lot, and plenty of neighborhood streets to park on, as well. It is densely planted, so it easily feels very private when following the many narrow pathways. There are several covered shelters with ample seating and nice views overlooking a creek down below. There are many small laybys with rocks large enough for a couple to sit on without crowding other guests on the path. It is a very easy circuitous walk for nearly anyone. I thoroughly enjoyed this garden, I highly recommend this place for a calm moment.
