About the Business
John Hinkel Park, located in Berkeley, California, is a beautiful hillside oak grove that offers a range of recreational opportunities and serves as a popular tourist attraction. The park features an amphitheater for outdoor performances and events.
The park was dedicated for park purposes in 1918, after being donated to the City of Berkeley by John Hinkel, a local capitalist and philanthropist. The park's history includes the John Hinkel Clubhouse, a pre-1920's wood frame building with significant architectural merit. Unfortunately, the clubhouse was demolished in 2015 after a fire critically damaged the building.
The stage and amphitheater at John Hinkel Park have been used for community gatherings, music and dance productions, and other events throughout the years. Today, the park remains a popular destination for visitors looking to enjoy the natural beauty of the oak grove and experience outdoor performances at the amphitheater. Visitors can also reserve facilities and sports fields at the park for various events and activities.
Reviews
"I love this secluded little park. It's absolutely gorgeous. The hills are a little steep, but it's amazing. The trees are beautiful. It was raining the whole time I was there and I loved the mist on my face and the fresh air. It was just amazing."
"Quaint with a really cool amphitheater. Small playground right next to the picnic tables."
"Small but beautiful! Amphitheater and three picnic tables around the park. One porto potty and dedicated lot w 4 spots (3 regular + 1 handicap)."
"Review for Sept 2022: - we don't live in Berkeley so we don't know how this park was before the renovation - checked out the playground and walking trails with our 5.5 year old daughter - newly renovated playground area as of Spring or Summer 2022 - lots of natural logs for the swings, climbing area - extremely small parking lot (maybe 4 spaces?). If you can't get a parking space infront of the playground, drive a block or 2 to find street parking. - port-o-potty was there, no other bathrooms - one water fountain up the hill from the new playground - nice amphitheater; I heard they may do plays there? Not sure. - would go there again if we are in the neighborhood."
"A very cool unique hillside park with that is hidden from most non-locals. My friend and I walked through it on our way to another park. Pros: Unique, neighborhood park, small, hidden, amphitheater, water fountains (even for dogs), waterfall after rains, great for meditation, benches, and lots of stairs for stair training. Cons: Not much parking, not the greatest for wheel chairs, no bathrooms, no grass, and no playground equipment."
