We are thrilled that the Crab Cove Visitor Center has been honored by the Alameda Chamber of Commerce with its Business Excellence Award. Congratulations Crab Cove staff!
Last month, the Alameda Chamber of Commerce honored Crab Cove Visitor Center with its Business Excellence Award!
The Chamber award acknowledges that "East Bay Regional Park District's Crown Beach and Crab Cove Visitor Center and Aquarium provide a gateway to the City of Alameda that attracts around one million visitors annually. Over 5,000 school children per year from Alameda and Contra Costa counties and beyond participate in field trip programs at Crab Cove, fostering an appreciation for the Bay and its wildlife, free of charge. All this is thanks to support from parcel taxes, the Regional Parks Foundation, and special bond measures like FF that passed in 2018 with nearly 86% of the vote.”
Thanks for the honor and support from the community!

Vargas Plateau Regional Park provides tremendous views from its setting in the Fremont Hills. It's plateau rises quickly and steeply to an elevation of 1,000 feet above the streets below overlooking Niles Canyon, Fremont, Union City, Newark, and the San Francisco Bay. Atop the plateau a pastoral landscape predominates, where a variety of wildlife make their home in the open grasslands, ponds, and steep wooded canyons. These characteristics, with the Bay Area ridge trail along the ridge top, make the park a great place for outdoor recreation and nature appreciation in the urban/wildland threshold.

New exhibit at Roberts Regional Recreation Area pays homage to old-growth redwoods through conservation and education. The exhibit, found along Roberts Ridge Trail, preserves and protects a remaining 18-foot-across old-growth coast redwood footprint for nature learning and includes a 570-square-foot observation deck with interpretive panels. The exhibit, a partnership between the East Bay Regional Park District and Save the Redwoods League, is free and open to the public 365 days a year. Redwoods play an important part of the entire Bay Area’s history. From the early 1800s to mid-1800s a group of especially tall redwood trees known as the “Navigation Trees” served as landmarks that helped ships avoid underwater hazards and guided them safely through the San Francisco Bay. Nearly all old-growth redwoods in the East Bay were cut down by 1860 to construct homes and buildings.
Plans have been approved and finalized for a new 1,000 square foot outdoor interpretive pavilion at Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area in Pleasanton – complete with new educational exhibits highlighting natural and cultural history, and recreational opportunities. The Shadow Cliffs' nature area includes 116 acres of cottonwood and willow-lined creek open space, and a wide array of wildlife. https://www.ebparks.org/civica/press/display.asp?layout=11&Entry=487

A new 1/2-mile segment of the San Francisco Bay Trail is under construction in Pinole, including a 1,100-foot gradually sloping bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. The project is being constructed by the East Bay Regional Park District and closes one of four remaining gaps in the Bay Trail along San Pablo Bay - with two of the other three in the design and permitting stage. Once complete, the project will have huge benefits for West Contra Costa County residents with expanded recreation opportunities and transportation options. Funding for the project comes from many sources, including Measure WW which was passed by Park District voters in 2008 to expand East Bay parks, trails, and open space. The District was able to use Measure WW funds to attract significant external resources for the project. Over 70% of the funding for the project came from external federal, state and regional sources – saving local taxpayers millions. The project is expected to be complete in June. The bridge was designed to accommodate walkers, hikers, cyclists, and people with disabilities.
Learn about the restoration work being done along the Bay Point Regional Shoreline. Restoration improves habitat for wildlife, and creates more opportunities for people to connect with nature. Watch the one-minute video from San Francisco Bay Joint Venture !

PRESERVATION
Founded in 1934, the East Bay Regional Park District preserves and protects over 121,000 acres of beautiful open space in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. Our 73 Regional Parks include critical wildlife habitats, shorelines, lakes, creeks, ranchlands, and historic sites.
PUBLIC ACCESS
Wherever you live in the two counties, there is a beautiful Regional Park within a 15-minute drive. Our Parks Express bus program brings underserved children, school groups, and seniors to the parks, while the Regional Parks Foundation’s Campership program enables low-income youth to attend summer camps. Many of our paved regional trails connect to public transit hubs and amenities.
STEWARDSHIP
We work to ensure a healthy and thriving ecosystem that protects wildlife and habitat. We adapt to the changing climate by restoring wetlands, repairing levees, thinning trees, monitoring algae blooms and building park facilities and trails above future 2080 seas levels. Additionally, our parklands remove carbon dioxide from the air, equivalent to the emissions of 60,000 vehicles annually.
RECREATION
There are over 1,250 miles of trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding, as well as picnic areas, campgrounds, swim facilities, and golf courses. As a leader of the Healthy Parks Healthy People movement, we invite you to experience physical, mental, and social health benefits by spending time in nature.
