For most Americans, the term “suburbia” conjures single-family homes and uniform architecture in areas that are solely residential and reliant on car transportation. With its array of land uses and architectural styles, North Berkeley defies this stereotype; its differences are the qualities that make it great. 

Millions of years before its first human inhabitants arrived, North Berkeley was strewn with fascinating rock formations. Today, the area includes a set of lovely parks where these remnants of its geologic past can be seen.

With apologies to those who missed July's hike because the wrong time was posted on our website, we’re reprising our hike through the beautiful city of Piedmont. The route goes through Piedmont Park and Dracena Park and, as we discovered on July's walk, by a bald eagle nest!  

We will visit the set of walking paths in Kensington that go between streets and were originally created to facilitate access to streetcars and later buses. Rodney will talk about the history of the paths and efforts to secure public ownership by the Kensington Pathkeepers group he's involved in.
