Carquinez bridge in the distance..
T F.

A sunny Sunday afternoon....the best way to welcome spring/summer is hitting the park with the family. We are still fairly new to Vallejo so I did what most people do nowadays and Googled it! Glen Cove Waterfront Park popped up...the pictures online looked really nice so we followed Google directions and found basically the backend of the park which is nestled deep in the Glenn Cove area of Vallejo. First impression wasn't much, the parking is pretty non-existent in the area we were at so be prepared to park in the little turnabout area or on the residential street. A helpful jogger informed us we were at the very back of the park which was mainly used for it's running trails. She told us that the main entrance was another freeway exit up and that she thought they charged for parking. We decided to stay put and walked up the trail a ways until we came to a picnic bench...upon closer inspection we noticed wormy bugs crawling all over it so we moved on and decided to lay blankets out on the grass. We did not see any bathroom facilities while we were there. I don't recommend this backend part of the park for family picnics or outings unless all you want to do is walk. It's really not set up for anything more. The view was gorgeous...the trail follows the shore. A ship lazily floated by, we could see the Carquinez bridge in the distance...peaceful and quiet. Some people were playing in the water but it looked a little too dirty to me. This end of the park isn't for family shindigs but it is nice as just a walking/jogging trail. I'll update my post once I visit the "main entrance"...hopefully it's more family friendly then this section of the park.

Here's skunks being fed catfood, taken June 25th 2017. The skunks spray dogs people walk around here. My friends dog was sprayed twice.

People feeding cats here are causing skunks by the dozens to walk around spraying dogs. Glen cove marina was made aware of this issue but they don't do anything about it. If you complain as a resident of the marina, they kick you out citing petty, made up reasons.

I like this place especially for the beach. We bring our dog here to play in the water. Very quiet park with few people so it's great. Beautiful views of the Carquinez strait. There are some good trails here for running or walking and the park has some BBQ grills.

I really like the waterfront area, and it's relaxing to visit and get away from daily distractions

Granddaughter loved her time here. I have not ever been here for as long as I have lived in town…read more What a nice hidden gem for the kids. The entrance is like walking through a castle to a whole new world gated inside. It was clean, grassy, huge and open spaces with different areas to play for the kids. There are benches and picnic tables everywhere too. They also have restrooms on site too. Lots of grassy and shady areas to hang out as well. Our grandbaby had a great time running everywhere to her hearts content and she cannot wait to go back again with her parents.

And the best park award goes to...Children's Wonderland Park! From uniqueness of play structures --…read moreto cleanliness and space -- this park easily takes the cake among others I've been to. And I do not say that lightly. As soon as you enter through the castle doors, you are transported into a mini Disneyland found in Vallejo, CA. As someone who was raised in this city, I did not expect this. This park truly Wow'd me for several reasons. One, the uniqueness of the play structures. There's a handful of them including a tea cup/ tea pot area, train station and train, pirate ship, pumpkin carriage and more. Our personal favorite; the tea cup with the connected slide, so fun!! My family and I easily spent two hours here. You can also book some spots for parties. I highly recommend checking out the GVRD's website. Theres shaded gazebos and many picnic tables. They even have story time and other events here. Theres a parking lot available and hours as well. They are closed on Tuesdays. 100 out of 10 recommend this park.

Never mind the hot dog stand. Every Saturday there is a family out in front of the ferry entrance…read morethat sells amazing Caribbean food. The Jamaican jerk chicken was fire! Beans and rice along with cabbage to go with whatever protein you pick. My guy loved the curry! Family is trying to save up for their own food truck and I really hope they get it. But until then go down to the waterfront on Saturdays and get you a plate. Ain't nothing better than home cooking.

If you want to come to the waterfront for a stroll, run, bike, walk your dog, etc. one way is 1.5…read moremiles from the end closest to mare island all the way to the end of the dock. There are plenty of different places to park to access the waterfront, there are many parking lots and street parking. There is plenty of room to ride your bikes but if you're with children on a nice sunny Saturday it can't be pretty busy. There are also plenty of different restaurants along the walk, from Sardine Can and Zio Fraedos closer to Mare Island. Then at the ferry station, there's The Mare Island Tap room, and Panama Bay coffee. It's a pretty safe area and lots of grass space for people to have picnics and hold workout classes or play team sports like football. Sometimes there are large outdoor events in the area. If you still play Pokémon go, this used to be a major Poke stop. The Vallejo Waterfront is definitely a nice place to see the sunset and a good place to get some fresh air, you'll also see people fishing every once in a while.
