Be forewarned - it's tough going out here when the weather is hot, so make a point of going early before the heat of the day sets in.

It was so nice to walk the trail along the water while trains went by. It's a cute park in a lovely neighborhood. The trail was easy to walk or bike. People were friendly and the weather was perfect. I don't usually drive out this far to take a stroll but the next time I'm in the area I'll come back for sure.

There's also a soccer field, and beyond the wooded creek are a big dog park and plenty of picnic tables. Even though the park is huge (231 acres), it all felt like a throwback to a simpler time which makes this expansive space a useful magnet for Pinole families looking for relief from pandemic restrictions. One thing I found unusual was seeing so many feral peacocks ambling about as I wasn't sure if it was a common sight in the park. I guess peacocks like that old-timey vibe, too.

Pinole Creek Trail is about half a mile long from the mouth of the creek that starts from the bay…read moreand into the downtown area of Pinole. The creek itself is 10.95 miles long running through town, but the trail is a nice, flat and paved area that many locals utilize to jog, run, walk and stroll. There are several bridges that runs through the creek, including an elevated wooden railroad bridge that is quite picturesque. On the other side of the trail is the Bay Trail, and parts of that trail is not paved, especially from San Pablo Ave. all the way to the mouth of the creek. However, both trails connect to Bayfront Park towards the railroads and Pinole Shores. So depending on what route to take, you can spend quite some time to get your exercise. For us, it's the exercise, walking the dog and being outside. Especially when the weather is nice, it's quite a nice stroll with enjoyable views while being out in nature and still in an urban setting. However, it's the best of both worlds and the city of Pinole does a great job of maintaining the trail. Along the creek is also Fernandez Park, with kids' playground, community center, basketball court and a baseball field. It gets busy during the weekend with plenty of outdoor activities for both adults and kids alike. The creek is a mixture of both salt and fresh water that attracts countless of wildlife. I think there's always a family of ducks that are always swimming or just hanging around the banks of the creek. There's definitely fish in the creek since you'll spot their activities on the water. And the many types of birds that will stop to take a bath or feed during their migration. At the mouth of the creek where it meets the bay, there's a waste water treatment plant, and depending on where the wind blows, you might get a whiff of an unpleasant smell. However, it's quite a nice area to explore during low tide as you can walk a pretty good distance off shore. Make sure your wearing the right kind of footwear since it's very muddy. Doing this activity makes me feel like a kid again. Here's a little secret: On both sides of the trail, there are rows of bushes that grow wild berries. People forage these bushes all the time and we've done our fair share of foraging. I've even made several milkshakes as a result of our foraging. I'm not gonna tell you which are the sweet ones, I'll let you figure that out yourselves. Oh, and the bushes are very thorny so be careful. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Hubbers and I don't live too far from here, and since our 6-month-old pup has now been trained to…read moretake walks, there was no better idea than to come and finally check this place out. We lucked out and came through on a nice clear late afternoon. The trail is available for walkers (for both 2 and 4 legged creatures) as well as bikers. People were conscious at social distancing (given the current pandemic crisis we're currently going through) which I thought was really cool. We really enjoyed it. We even lost track of how far we went because we got distracted looking out the water. The only thing I would suggest for improvement is maybe to have more trash bins. Don't get me wrong - the trail is generally nice, but it would be better if I wasn't seeing a bit of garbage here and there. (Yeah, there are some undisciplined people out there, shame on them.) Hubbers, our pup and I liked it so much we made a return visit in less than 48 hours. Definitely a good go-to to catch some fresh air and getting some steps in!

A personal bonus for me that there are Xfinity WiFi hotspots in the area. Although this park could benefit from some regular maintenance, most of the areas are still quite functional. There was a lively soccer game going on when I visited, but I was disappointed to see that the other areas of the park were essentially deserted. I could see why people wouldn't want to use this recreation park (lots of litter, missing garbage bins, saw a man slumped over a bench, restrooms heavily locked up), but maybe with more use from the community, the city of Richmond may consider maintaining this park regularly. There were construction signs put up around the track notifying residents the park would be closed 2/1/22-4/15/22. I did some digging around and it appears that the city plans on replacing the fences around the area and possibly replacing the turf field with a fresh one. Additionally, the city has already been working on constructing the Richmond Wellness Trail on Marina Way which runs adjacent to the park and would probably improve accessibility. With all these updates, I'm hopeful that this park can be revived to its vibrant self that it probably once was when it first opened.
