    Well maintained dirt track with beautiful views of the bay. There is a drinking fountain and a few places to rest between laps.

    Our 4-year-old attended several sessions at Albany Berkeley Soccer Club, including the winter…read moreindoor futsal program, which was great during the rainy season. Overall, the program can be good for kids to get introduced to soccer and teamwork. However, during the last few classes the coaching shifted toward more competitive play, which became overwhelming for my son at his age. He started crying during those portions of class, and after three sessions like that we decided it was best to take a break so he doesn't develop a negative association with the sport. The most frustrating part was trying to request a refund for the next session I had already registered him for. It was very difficult to reach anyone by phone (voicemail was full), and it took several emails and weeks to get a response. In the end, the only option offered was a refund minus a $50 administrative fee or a credit for a future session. While the program itself has some positives, the communication and refund process felt inflexible for families with very young children who may need more flexibility.

    My daughter started playing soccer last year, and we enrolled her in the ABSC recreational league…read more She quickly learned the basics of the game and, just as importantly, made new friends. The parent coaches devoted a lot of time and energy--seeing their commitment firsthand gave us a real appreciation for how much goes into volunteer coaching. This year, my daughter joined an ABSC competitive team. She adjusted well, built strong connections with her new teammates, and together they even won their NorCal bracket! She genuinely looks forward to practices and games, not just for the soccer, but also for the chance to hang out with her friends. The coaches have all been fantastic. ABSC staff stepped in to train and support her team, making a big difference--not just for the players, but for the parents, too. It's a real relief to be able to just watch and enjoy the games, knowing our kids are in great hands. I've also been impressed by ABSC's leadership. Toney, the club director, is approachable and engaged--it's rare to find a club where parents can easily communicate directly with the director. Toney stresses that having fun comes first; improvement follows naturally, which I really appreciate. ABSC also offers scholarships to families in need, showing a commitment to making soccer accessible to everyone. I really value what's included with the competitive team: besides the fall and spring seasons, the club also provides summer camp, winter futsal, winter skills clinics, goalie clinics, and training sessions with ABSC coaches. One moment that really stood out: at an ABSC summer camp, Toney noticed two girls struggling to keep up during drills. He found out their cleats were too small and immediately brought over a box of properly sized soccer shoes so they could participate comfortably. That kind of kindness is above and beyond. From a parent's perspective, I also value the club's communication. Team managers use an app to keep everyone updated on practices, games, and any changes. The system runs smoothly thanks to dedicated parent volunteers. My daughter is excited for the upcoming season. She's also had the chance to play as a guest with older teams, which really motivated her to keep working on her skills. For me, a great club is one where kids want to play, even after tough losses, and where the staff care deeply about the players' well-being. ABSC definitely delivers on both counts. A Few Areas for Growth: Clearer roles and responsibilities: For example, during rec, we once scrambled to find player cards before a tournament in Jack London. This past season, team managers took on this responsibility by bringing hard copies to all games and tournaments, making things much smoother. Field conditions: Ensuring fields are in great shape is important, though I understand this depends on collaboration with the city and is sometimes outside of ABSC's immediate control. Overall, ABSC has given our family a wonderful soccer community--and my daughter can't wait for next season.

    This place is lightweight addictive. And I'm not talking about the baseball field... I'm referring…read moreto the hiking trails that are located right behind it. One would never think that such beautiful hiking trails were hidden behind this field at first glance. If you've ever driven down broadway towards highway 24, you've probably noticed the parking lot that's located on the righthand side just at the stoplight. Or maybe you haven't noticed it. Well, I've noticed it for a few years now but always thought that it was nothing. I finally looked it up on a map one day and noticed that there were some trails leading up to Skyline Boulevard. So, one day I took a drive there and parked. The field is what you'll probably notice first. Walking in, you'll see the field to your right. This field is used by the North Oakland Sports Center, and both kids abs adults use it to practice. There are actually two separate fields, but I've only seen the one closest to the parking lot being used. Could be because of Covid. Right across from the field is a "park". I say that loosely because it isn't really a park, that's what it's defined as. There's a picnic table, a few workout bars, and some heavily graffitied porta-potties in this "park". And then there's a flat walking path. This is the path that will lead you up to these glorious hiking trails. I've hiked here about a handful of times now, and each time I've discovered a new path. The main path will take you all the way to Skyline Boulevard. On your journey up, you'll be graced with the beautiful sights and smells of tall Eucalyptus and Redwood trees. Most of the paths are shaded but there are a few exposed parts. It doesn't seem to get to hot in this part of town, so this hike is ideal during anytime. As you incline up the hills, you'll have the most stunning views of the city with the all too familiar view of the picturesque Bay Bride in the distance. The trails aren't very long... maybe a few miles at most. But you could connect them and take different routes there's and back to extend the mileage. I love that there are a mix of both inclines and flat paths. What's nice about this trail is that it's truly hidden from everything and everyone. I've never seen more than 5 people on this trail when I've hiked it. I could actually probably condense that number down to 3. It's really desolate. And the people that I have seen on this trail are so friendly. The other day I was exploring a new trail but missed a turnout. On the way back, I ran into a guy that I saw at the start of my hike. I asked him if he knew where the turnout was and I ended up following him there. People are really kind here. Most of them local. I should warn that some of the trails are actually bike paths and are extremely steep and not really meant for hiking. You may have to scramble on a few sections. I've been avoiding these spots lately ever since I almost slid down an embankment on another hiking trail. The scrambling freaks me out now, but for someone who doesn't scare easily when slipping, it can be kind of an adrenaline rush. Plus, those trails will lead you deep into the forest and the views are most stunning. But anyways, these hiking trails are amazing. It's funny because they're seriously hidden. Now it makes sense why there's never anybody there. I guess I'm letting the cat out of the bag now. But with all of the other more popular parks nearby (Lake Temescal, Sibley, Tilden, Claremont Canyon) I don't think that this place will ever get that crowded. But one thing that I know for sure; I will most definitely keep coming back for more.

    Caldecott Field is home to several little league baseball tourneys, pickup soccer on Saturday and…read moreSunday mornings (depending on conflicts with baseball), and a fire trail that a lot of folks like to hike with their dogs. The grass is best kept during baseball season (which, conversely, means that you're likely to get kicked off of it precisely because of the baseball folks). But the field is enormous, and is nestled among trees and hills on three sides. Perfect setting.
