Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center 4901 Breakwater Avenue, Hayward, CA 94545

"A great place to look at the bay. Very flat for all ages. Parking could be a problem during the weekends. Saw people fishing and caught some sharks. I think they put the fishes back in the water."

"Great place for a peaceful run. It’s flat and a bit windy, so great for beginner trail running. There’s no water on the trail so plan accordingly. Also it is a marsh so if you come at low tide there’s that eggy smell."

"This is very nice and interesting place. They have small but educative museum for kids, in summer time they provide camps and do events.We were a Water Provider at the 10K on the Bay event and donate fresh and clean water, glass carafes and 2 water purification systems for Top winners. Thanks organizers for such a great event and we hope to work with you in a future events!"

"Grateful for the staff here and the HARD programs for kids and toddlers... Very good value and experience for a small cost. The programs range from science experiments, exploring, and even crafts to take home. The toddler ramble is run by Anne, and she is amazing. Best of all is that almost all of her activities are recreate-able at home with common goodies or from a supplier she is willing to share. The staff is also very knowledgeable about the marsh and shore and the toddler ramble concludes with a nice walk to a local edible plant called "pickle weed." Always a hit with the kids."

"We celebrated our child's birthday here. The location was just perfect, the party room large, staff very helpful and activities amazingly fun and interesting for kids. Everyone loved it! Caitlin and Zoey were very friendly and super fun. They work so well with kids that the event was a breeze for us, the hosts. I'd definitely recommend this place especially for birthdays for kids under 3- 10. Great fun even otherwise to visit and a lovely trail to walk during good weather. Note: bring light jacket at least and comfortable shoes if you plan to have outdoor activities for kids"
