Cordornices Park

Located just across from the Berkeley Rose Garden and overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, Cordornices Park is an attraction for kids of all ages. The main event is certainly the huge concrete slide that sends kids zipping down the hillside on scraps of slippery cardboards. The play structure, complete with swings and multiple less-intimidating slides, is perfect for younger kids. With a softball field, basketball courts, and even a gurgling creek, the playground is just the beginning.
