Prince Street Mini Park

Prince Street Mini-Park is a small public park located in Berkeley, California. Nestled in the Lorin District between California Street and King Street, this compact green space offers a peaceful retreat for local residents and visitors alike.

The park was established in the late 1960s or early 1970s as part of a wave of mini-park and tot lot developments in Berkeley's flatlands. This period was characterized by community activism and relatively generous federal grants, which allowed for the creation of several small parks in areas previously lacking such amenities.

Prince Street Mini-Park, true to its name, is modest in size, covering approximately 0.15 acres or 6,530 square feet. Despite its limited area, the park provides valuable recreational opportunities for the surrounding neighborhood, particularly for families with young children.

The park underwent a complete renovation in the late 1990s, with the project completed in 2000. This renovation refreshed and updated the park's facilities to better serve the community's needs.
