Pinole Shores Park — Attraction in Pinole

Pinole Shores Park is a treasure nestled in California's East Bay. As I strolled along the well-paved trail, I couldn't help but notice the abundance of plants and trees that dotted the landscape, inviting visitors to indulge in nature's beauty. The park was a lively sanctuary, with playful squirrels scurrying about and the occasional feline companion crossing my path. What truly captivated me were the scenic views that unfolded before my eyes. From the park's vantage point, I could witness the majestic sight of passing trains on nearby tracks, adding a touch of nostalgia to the experience.

It's not for everyone, only the neighbors that live in that area. Tiny parking space fits 8 vehicles. There is no parking in a nearby neighborhood. It's reserved or with signs of it being towed.

Didn't get the chance to go. I drove off to another place.

Waste of my time...
