Alameda Point & Bay Trail Gallery

The future of Alameda will to a great extent be about what happens to Alameda Point. In January of last year we published a photo essay about the Point to give everyone an opportunity to learn what is out there and what its potential might be. As the issue of what will become of the Point and the Bay Trail still remains unresolved, we decided an updated version of the gallery would be a good idea.

Bay Trail would follow the shoreline on the left for about half the distance to the point, and then it would veer inland between golf course fairways. Port of Oakland is on right.

Looking toward the Port of Oakland from the site of the proposed golf course. The Bay Trail would veer inland at this point in the current golf course proposal.

At the site of the original Point Park in the Reuse Plan. December, 2002, workshop consensus has the Bay Trail returning to the shoreline at this point and continuing along the full length of the western shore. A small observation/rest stop park of several acres would extend from the foreground of this picture to the rear along the estuary. No road will go to this point.

This is part of the original site for Point Park in the Reuse Plan. Latest consensus calls for an elevated golf hole to the left of this picture. Trail would be on shoreline with possibly a stone and slate protective overhang called a Captain's Walk where the Trail passes the golf hole.

This is approximately where the Marina Green style, main park will begin. A small beach accessible at low tide is adjacent to this area.

This will be the site of the main park. To the left is the Wildlife Refuge. A road will bring visitors to this site with parking expected to be to the left on Refuge property. Eventually a Wildlife Refuge Visitors Center could be built just a few steps from this area.

Inner Harbor Park Site- Looking toward San Francisco Bay. A salvaged board serves as a bench at this magnificent but neglected park. San Francisco is behind the ships in this picture.

View from near the shoreline looking toward the recreation center and West Hornet Ave.

Volleyball anyone?

View of tennis courts, basketball courts (minus the backboards), ball field and plenty of room for soccer.

The baseball/ softball backstop.

Looking toward the Bay. In this picture, the tennis courts are to the right, the volleyball area to the left, and the recreation building to the rear left. In the distance is the breakwater leading up to the Encinal Boat Ramp.

A secluded mountain atmosphere on San Francisco Bay. This campground is currently closed. The Bay is to the right. To the left about 100 feet is a large parking lot along West Hornet Ave. This site could be the first kayak campground on San Francisco Bay.

A view from inside the campground at the Inner Harbor Park area.

Heading west out of the Inner Harbor campground. A piece of urban serenity, magnificent views and world-class potential.
