"A lunchtime crowd spilled from the cafe onto outdoor tables, where people ate, socialized and worked on laptops. Children from a day camp splashed in Strawberry Creek, while a pair of boys took shots on a basketball court and middle-aged couples played a relaxed game of doubles tennis. In the midst of it all, a family with two dogs cut through the park, using the path that runs along the park's westerly edge."
"Strawberry Creek Park gets even busier on the weekends due to its central location: a five-minute drive from I-80's University Avenue exit and 12-minute walk from the North Berkeley BART. The mothers group chose the location because it's within 15 minutes of all the members' homes. Since its opening in 1983, the four-acre park has also served as a connector to Berkeley's past."
Strawberry Creek Park is a four-acre, centrally located green in West Berkeley used for diverse activities. New mothers meet weekly with infants on the grassy meadow, taking advantage of shady spots and the Hidden Cafe with a bathroom. Daytime scenes include lunchtime patrons working on laptops, children from day camp splashing in the creek, basketball and tennis players, and dog-walking families. The park's central location—minutes from I-80 and a 12-minute walk from North Berkeley BART—makes it convenient for nearby residents. The park opened in 1983 and functions as a connector to Berkeley's past while remaining a busy weekend destination.
