The Craneway Pavilion — Attraction in Richmond

I never even knew about this place until we went there for the Bernie Sanders rally. But I must say the place was huge and it has a beautiful view of one side of the bay. I was speaking to one of the staff members that were there to make sure everything was going smoothly. And he mentioned how, when they have evening events, you can see the San Francisco skyline all lit up. It must be a beautiful sight because the daytime view was beautiful as well. They also have a Rosie the Riveter museum in a separate building. We didn't go inside, but it seemed to be attracting a nice amount of people. I couldn't help but think, while I was sitting outside after the rally, what a beautiful spot to just take a walk or bike even. We even spotted a guy on a paddle board out on the bay. So there seems to be alot different things to do around this event center. It must also make a great place for weddings and other events. It was huge, but you could see where they had temporary well separators to customize the size...

I shared I was planning this for my birthday. He reserved a court for me and I was told I was able to bring treats (cupcakes) when I asked. The day came and a woman came very confrontational to us when we were on the court and told us she was the owner and we weren't allowed to bring cupcakes. She also asked my friend if she was going to play while looking at her outfit. She seemed very judgemental. We were also all people of color so it felt she may be racist. I really liked this place and I'm bummed I won't be coming back unless there is...

Never heard of the venue until Icelandic pop singer Björk hosted one of her Biophilia concerts here. It was superb listening her music and the seating/standing arrangements are up close and personal. The pavilion has a spectacular window outlook of the bay! Especially if there is a full moon!

Be aware that they charge you for parking at their location (ours was $15.00). Apparently there is a lot of street parking for the early birds who want to avoid the fees.

The venue also has ferries in service for those residing in San Francisco. Exiting the venue can be a traffic jam nightmare---my group just waited for everyone to leave. I recommend bringing a sweater and chill by the bay---it...
