Middle Harbor Shoreline Park

Ryan Hoger

Decent spot but not great. Stagnant water doesn’t make for a great odor when you are up close. Pavilion area is nice.

Fantastic view of the San Francisco skyline. Several lookout points. The park is surrounded by containers. Drive carefully because of those huge trucks. Ample parking lots. Not crowded at all on a Thursday morning. Well maintained restroom. A big BBQ area. Can be windy at times.

Bellas vistas, geese con gosling familias, half step warning signals sounding, Puerto actividad, NO (or very few) PEOPLE to have to avoid, bay breezes clearing the air y SPACE, outdoors, en natura, cerca del agua to breathe freely. Bellísima. Update 022022: Still a lovely, spacious, expansive place for a long walk around the perimeter. Peaceful, refreshing way to take at least 6k steps, with lots to absorb and notice along the way. Late afternoon on a cloudy or partially sunny, cool weekend day sparsely populated.

a review from amom2kidsandapark.com Located on the tip of the Oakland shipping area, between the Bay Bridge and Alameda, is a large open area with trails, coves, wild animals (lots of geese!), picnic spots, an observation tower for even better elevated views (stairs. no elevator), and a “ghost building”. The land is the site of the previous Oakland Naval Supply Depot which was an important supply center for the Navy’s Pacific Fleet during WWII through 1998. The “ghost building” can be seen by the varying cement “paths” throughout the land (and even in the parking lot), out of place walls, and zig zag paths. Swimming is not allowed especially because the drop off from the shore is very sudden and very deep. It was previously dredged to allow room for naval ships. Don’t miss the white dolphin sculpture on the shoreline near the platform path. If you come during lunch you may get to see some sea birds finding their meal via some unlucky mussels. While the view of the city is amazing, a take minute to observe the massive shipping containers and cranes in action or the various types of boats heading into the bay from Jack London. Fishing is allowed. There is plenty of parking. The parking closest to the observation tower is handicap only. There are bathrooms at the observation tower and near the parking lot.
