Aquatic Park was apparently built in the 1930s by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the last great economic downturn. The Park consists of a large, elongated water feature that is home to a waterski club, a rowing club, and a number of different birds. (No swimming signs were posted, but I did see at least one dog taking a dip.) The park also had a children's playground area, picnic tables, and BBQ area.
A freeway (Interstate Highway 80) lies west of the Park, and the San Francisco Bay is located to the west of the freeway.



Wildlife Sightings:
2 cats; 20 ducks; 4 cormorants; 2 Canada geese; 10 sea gulls; 4 crows; 2 snowy egrets; 1 hummingbird; 4 little brown jobs (LBJs); 2 blackbirds; 2 terns; 2 finches; lots of dogs out walking with their owners (including Miss Jackie Brown and Frida -- shown).
