Walkable North Berkeley

Greenbelt Alliance

Join Greenbelt Alliance for a delightful urban adventure in North Berkeley.

North Berkeley

This urban hike explores a very walkable neighborhood of historic homes, a delightful culinary shopping district, a trend-setting school garden, a "found objects" sculpture garden, and the sites of one of the first haciendas in the East Bay as well as an early Victorian residential development; a creek runs through it. We will note a bit of architecture as well as a little history. There is modest up and down but no steep climbs. LeaderBob Johnson.
