El Cerrito Hidden Paths and Parks

  • Central Ave and Ohlone Greenway United States (map)

Leader: Janet Byron
Distance: 4.5 miles
Elevation gain: 680 feet

On this walk, expect lots of uphill streets and stairs on this butt-kicker of a walk (then lots of downhill!). From the El Cerrito Plaza BART station, we’ll walk up to Arlington Park via as many hidden stairways as possible, then return via more paths and the PG&E property along Moeser Avenue. Along the way, we’ll visit El Cerrito’s Centennial Park, Huber Park, and Cerrito Vista Park; get some spectacular views; and see one very very quirky home. All are welcome to join Janet at El Cerrito Natural Grocery’s Prepared Food Annex after the walk for lunch (10 minute walk from the starting point). 

Getting there: Take BART or AC Transit to El Cerrito Plaza BART station. Lots of BikeLink parking is available at the station. Car parking is available in the BART parking lot or local streets; watch signs for restrictions.
