“I was visiting from out of state and was looking for a good yet easy to access redwoods hiking site. I had already done Muir Woods but it’s a little out of the way and required reservations, parking fees, entrance fees, etc. I’m very happy I came across Reinhardt. I was able to do a really nice 4 mile hike in the morning and make it to a Giants game at noon. I started from the upper parking lot and wasn’t impressed at the beginning of the hike, but the middle section of the park with all the redwoods was beautiful.” – Scott Perdue

“Had a wonderful time here. There is safe parking in the park and access to a wonderful playground, swimming pool and the best trails in Oakland. You can get turned around easily, so watch yourself.

REVIEWS:
“This is one of the more wild parks in the East Bay. Trails are narrow and often plunge steeply down into the creek on one side. There are no handrails. After a harrowing experience with three small children on a muddy path one day, I didn’t go back for years. I’m glad I did. It is quiet enough to hear the sound of water. It is shady with the perfect amount of light filtering through the towering branches of old redwoods.” – Lydia B.

“Beautiful Park! Excellent walkways that have stunning views. Awesome herons and avian life. Amazing sunsets. Their is a wildlife sanctuary next to it that is fenced off but full of wildlife. Highly recommended especially for dogs! Lots of squirrels and tons of geese. Watch out because of all the goose poop! A+” – John Marks
