Cedar-Rose Park

Cedar Rose Park is a 4.94-acre public park in Berkeley, California. The park was developed along a portion of the abandoned Santa Fe Railroad right-of-way and additional parcels purchased by the City of Berkeley. It was funded by a combination of Park Bond Act and Measure Y monies after voters passed a bond measure in 1974 to fund additional park development.

The park features multiple recreational areas catering to different age groups and activities. It includes two distinct playgrounds - one designed for children ages 2-5 that is fully enclosed, and another for children ages 5-12. The park also offers a large multi-purpose turf field suitable for sports like soccer.

For sports enthusiasts, Cedar Rose Park provides basketball courts, tennis courts, and a volleyball court. The park includes picnic areas with benches and tables, making it suitable for family outings and community gatherings. There are also barbecue grills available for public use.

Cedar Rose Park includes paved pathways throughout, allowing for walking, jogging, and biking. The park is equipped with public restroom facilities for visitor convenience. Additionally, there is a small amphitheater area within the park grounds.

The park is open daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, providing ample time for community members to enjoy its facilities. Its location over a portion of the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) tunnel between North Berkeley and El Cerrito BART stations makes it easily accessible via public transportation.
