So if you bring your dog here I will more than likely be saying hi to the little cutie if I'm there. Many places to go by the water if there's too many people on one patch of land. You never have to go far to find some more water here. There's a little canal type area that's now drying up!! Has a boat loading dock but it's no longer usable in this area , to be fair I'm not a boat expert but I don't think there's nowhere near enough water ( at least when I was there ) to get a boat going LOL. Always a great time when you go here. It's not much but me and my family used to always go here. Now that one of them is gone it's really a treasure to go here. So much walking space , I just took one of the many paths this time. So many seashells and other beachy stuff along the shore also. Family's always have a bunch of fun here even though there's no swimming allowed. Not many sea animals or anything that wash up thankfully! Means they are doing well :) ! So many beautiful seashells and sand is everywhere. There is paved areas to walk on , however not every areas paved. Thanks for reading hope this helps !

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.

That's why I want to write this review in hopes that as a community we can maintain and even maximize the things we love about this park. The small play area is due for a remodeling. Graffiti throughout, broken structures, broken fencing, and trash. The basketball courts have uneven pavement so I can only imagine what could happen when the older kids or even adults are playing. Even the bathroom, while better than before, some of the items aren't stocked or the fixtures/appliances don't work. Hopefully some things can be repaired soon, but overall the park needs some love poured back into it.

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.

It's also right next to 'Leila by the Bay' restaurant. The playground is designed mostly for younger kids with the floor deck made from recycled rubber materials. It has a couple of toddler swings so definitely not for teenagers. We didn't have these kinds of playgrounds when I was growing up. It has three benches and three picnic tables with lots of grassy area. Depending on the time of day, the surrounding trees will provide some shade. I've taken my friends here during the pandemic just to get away from the pandemic madness while enjoying the outdoors while maintaining social distancing. The city of Hercules also does a good job of maintaining and cleaning this park, and the garbage bin is never full, which is a sign that it's being serviced in a timely manner. Best part of all, you can watch the Amtrak passenger trains and freight trains pass by on their scheduled routes. There's something hypnotizing about a train going by; no matter how many times I've seen it, you can't help but look and enjoy. It's definitely appropriately named Railroad Park.

I only discovered the park myself when I took an inadvertent detour on the San Pablo Bay Regional Trail when I was trying to avoid the breezes from the bay. There are picnic tables, a bocce ball space, a basketball half-court, and even horseshoe pits. Parking is ample for such a small patch of greenery... And yes, there is a pond. I may have even seen a duck. The paved walkways represent the best part for me because I'm either coming or going. Those who stay are either young moms with their toddlers or dogs with owners glued to their smartphones. There's also a kid's playground (Frog Pad Park) right across the street.
