Description

East Bay Regional Park District

Coyote Hills Regional Park

Coyote Hills Regional Park was dedicated to public use in 1967. Comprised of nearly 978 acres of marshland and rolling grassland covered hills, this busy park is located along the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, northwest of the cities of Fremont and Newark. The most popular visitor activities by far are bicycling, walking, bird watching, jogging, nature exploration, and picnicking. Well used every season of the year, spring, summer, and fall tend to be the most popular. But the park's winter beauty is wonderful to behold. The low-lying Coyote Hills rise as a prominent landmark on the eastern shoreline of San Francisco Bay.

Good walking park

Good walking park for the locals. As for camping I wouldn’t recommend unless you want a lot of foot and car traffic.

One of our favorite places to go spend time at as a family. ❤️😊
