“The wife wanted an empty park for Instagram fall photography. This is where we went..Just as I had expected it was fairly unoccupied”
Address: High Ridge Loop Terrace, Hayward, CA 94544, USA
“Short loop that offers great views to the Bay and Southern San Francisco peninsula. No shade at all so the trail is best in spring and fall but still good for summer as long as you have enough protection from the sun. Easy access on both ends to parking lots and enough elevation to transform this hike into a good short workout.”

“I go to this park often because my cross country team has their meets here. There is a bathroom and an outhouse in front. There is a small lake. There is a picnic area up on a hill where I have seen Afghan men flying kites. There are often families here on the weekend having barbecues. The last time I was there I saw a girl taking quincennera pictures with her limo and well-dressed attendants. Two weeks ago I saw a huge tarantula (for the first time ever) and last week I saw a small snake. There are many ground squirrels/gophers. The small lake has ducks and fish. Parking at the Garin Ave. entrance costs $5 when the booth is manned - usually 8:30 to 5?. There is no charge to park at the Dry Creek staging area, but then you have to hike to the main park with its lake and facilities. The park closes at sunset. There is a campground area with outhouses which is good for small group overnight camping. Up on the hill you get a nice panoramic view of the Bay Area.”

“Excellent views. Very peaceful. Not crowded. There are many cows around. If you are into hiking, you can choose from many different options based on how difficult you want it to be.”
Address: 28846 Bay Heights Rd, Hayward, CA 94542, USA
“Great place for a picnic lunch or dinner. There are a few picnic tables, but no restrooms. Parking along the street below. Amazing westward views of the Bay. Very small with just a short path around the park, so you won't spend much time here if you're hiking. I would recommend adding the nearby Ukraina trail if you want to get some mileage (trailhead on the other side of the soccer fields on Carden Lane).”

“This is the cleanest park I’ve ever been to. The grounds keepers are almost always there manicuring the lawn and the bathrooms are so clean! This park has a spectacular view of the Bay and has three different picnic areas to barbecue. The best part is, it’s never crowded! Some rules : Dogs must be on a leash. No Jumper’s, No smoking or drinking”

“This is a continuation of the Chabot to Garin trail, connecting Don Castro below to the 5 Canyons trail system which continues on to south Hayward and Garin Park. The first hill up to the water tanks is pretty aggressive, and I would rate it as difficult, but it's only 1/4 of a mile and then you're at the top. After that, it is all easy and medium difficulty. Beautiful views of the Bay and a great place to watch the sun set! Enjoy the beautiful grasslands and Oak and Bay Tree forest! Lots of wildlife.”
Address: 5909 Gold Creek Dr, Castro Valley, CA 94552, USA
“This is hilly area and as you climb up the trail the view is better and better. At the top there is a nice bench where you can rest, eat a sandwich and admire the area towards the West. When the weather is clear you can see San Francisco. For a longer trail of about 6 miles you can park in Don Castro park (free on weekdays) and navigate your way based on the EBMUD supplied maps or your own.”

“A very nice place to bring your kids and if you come on the right day there will be other children for your kids to play with.”
Address: Hayward Plunge Trail, Hayward, CA 94542, USA
“Names are a little confusing. Best place to start (trailhead) is Campus Drive. There you will find 2 trail heads. The Greenbelt trail is also marked as Ward Creek Trail and it runs along the Ward Creek for about a mile until its ascend toward the end. The other trail is called Hayward Plunge trail or East Avenue trail and runs parallel to the Greenbelt trail. Generally, from campus drive to the Durham way (end point) is ascending. You can choose your either trail as ascending but I would say East Avenue trail is more forgiving ascend that Greenbelt which has more ups and downs. While it only seems like a short hike (2 miles each way) be prepared to get winded due to elevation especially on Greenbelt side.”
