There's also some barbecue pits that you could use. It has restrooms with flush toilets as well as drinking faucets. Overall, this is a very nice park just on the small side. Keep in mind that this park is very close to a lot of brush. That means stay out of the brush and check carefully for ticks if you do happen to go near the brush. Here are a few videos to show you the park

However they have just begun the process of replanking the bridges so e pact delays and detours. The detours are not that bad but force you into the bike lanes on the Bayshore drive. So be careful because it's tight and traffic will be in both directions. An added bonus for dog lovers. The path runs past the animal shelter so you can get your fill of dog petting if your timing is right.

Now I've know for years that there's a path that runs parallel to Tiburon Blvd next to the bay since I've sped by it in my car for years, but this was the first time I've ever taken the time to walk it and I'm really glad I did. From the convenient free parking at Blackie's pasture to the path's end upon arriving at the edge of downtown Tiburon, the path is beautifully paved and much of it looks like it has received considerable new landscaping and an abundance of nice benches to rest on. There are cute little romantic spots just off the path with a lone bench facing the water and even a hidden spot with a nice little gazebo with an inscription on the floor blessing all those who discover it. So peaceful...so serene...as you hear the water gently lapping at the shore. Along the water, you can see all kinds of nature and wildlife and the scenery is downright gorgeous. There are even fenced off areas for use as a natural reserve/animal habitat. During the scenic walk, there are very few places where you actually have to cross the street in front of cars and since it's Tiburon, there are no crazies or homeless to worry about as you walk around enjoying nature. The bronze statue of the horse "Blackie" at the very beginning was a really nice touch too. Apparently, he was quite a beloved landmark who could always be seen there for forty years until he passed away. Upon arriving in downtown Tiburon, we looked around all the little shops and even did some wine tasting before turning around and walking allllllll the way back. Hadn't realized how long the walk would be as it took about four hours total (roundtrip) including an hour in Tiburon. If you walk from one end to the other like we did, be aware that it will take some time as the distance is considerably longer than it seems. Next time, I'll park at the halfway point instead of the far end. As I mentioned earlier, there were tons of benches to sit on along the way. Sadly, there was only one bathroom along the entire multi-use path that I could find. I just couldn't believe it. As such, I couldn't give five stars, but it's still a great place for a nice walk, especially on a weekday when you can avoid all the crowds.

Then once you reach the dead end with a bench, the trail turns right where you'll be trekking toward the airport, tall blades of grass to your left, the landscape of the hills in the distance, as well as a random bench facing the creek and views, with the inscription "Tranquil beauty. Water, grasses, & birds. Enjoy." I did just that during my run this past Saturday. Soon the trail veers to the left and slightly narrows, leading to the Lucy Evan Baylands Nature Interpretive Center (inside access closes at 3pm on Sats/Suns), with a wraparound porch featuring info boards about the salt marsh, flying insects, and the surrounding wildlife. What's more, the Baylands Boardwalk in the back allows visitors to walk out to the end and stand over the water for greater views and an even more serene setting, several benches along the way. The other parking lot for this trail is located at this end, just steps away from the visitor center. But I made my way back to my car at the Baylands Athletic Center, finishing off my run (less than one and a half miles one way). Nothing too exciting here, but the scenery of the marshland was soothing, the trail was simple (there's no way you can get lost), and I encountered plenty of lovely birds along the way (seagulls, geese, ducks, and more).
