May 26, 2025, Fish Cleaning Station at Robert E. Woolley State Park

This small park punches well above its weight. There are great fishing, bird watching, and wildlife viewing opportunities. It's also located just south of SFO, so plane watchers can get their fill of watching the take-offs and landing.

This is a designated place for planespotting. In fact, at low tide the mudflats may be exposed all the way across to the San Francisco/SFO airport runways. Don't even think of walking across them, though; the mudflats can trap you like quicksand, even if your first few steps onto the flats don't feel like that.

Great look out spot if Fisherman’s Park is crowed.

beautifully renovated waterfront trail through the park along San Francisco Bay, with an elegant trail bridge across the mouth of the lagoon into the bay.

Conveniently located close to downtown and right along the bike route that's on mostly quiet residential streets parallel to the railway

Funny are the fishwashing stations, where anglers can wash their catch right away. Also suitable for washing the dog. 😉
