Wonderful park with a great trail I like to go on near it. Great place to have a picnic

Great park for kids! The concrete slide is a must, and there are several paths from the main playground to take kids on adventures

Great park, plenty of space.

You can enjoy the big tree and the beautiful Rose Garden in the same time.

Great park for kids of all ages. The slide is a must but dont underestimate the curve...first time down use your feet to slow down a little so you dont tip over and skin yourself on the concrete (including you, adults -- ask me how I know).

Cool place, a sense of Europe.Very nice play playground thingies, and one awesome slide.

I love the concrete slide. Im not ashamed to admit I took a few turns going down. It was great for the kids, too. They enjoyed the playground and exploring the secret tunnel that lead to the Rose Garden. Will definitely come back in the near future.

We came here before for the playground; the tot area is decent with a structure, a couple swings, and a sand box. The big kid area looks fun especially the big concrete slide. We also came here for a forest experience program with our 1.5 year old, and spent a couple hours in the woods behind the playground. This part of the park is way bigger than I thought and its really nice to be able to enjoy the secluded forest just 10 mins from the cities. Our kid had fun wondering around looking at everything and enjoyed playing in creek water. Definitely recommend!

A squirrel slapped me in the face and stole my money but other than that really pretty

Great for families with kids. Lots of fun

Very nice city park

Beuatiful park aceoss the street from the rose garden and a charming walk up from university. Lovely place to take a stroll or of your looking to walk to tilden !

The most beautiful park Ive ever visited. It has something to offer to everyone. Concrete slides are a blast. Natural trail. Stream to play in. Rose garden. Baseball field. Breathtaking views. Its the best!

Best Park ever! Be ready to spend hours there.

Park, playground, basketball, concrete slide, baseball field, hiking trails (easy) through shade trees (five stars)

This park is amazing! there is a bunch of paths you can explore, the rose garden is right next to it. If you want to play on the play structure you can. There is even a concrete slide which you can ride down. Next to it is a baseball field which can be used for a bunch of different activities. Its also great for birthday parties or other gatherings because they have barbecues as well as tables.

Nice walk, slide is great!

Looks small but its very beautiful park and worth a visit.

Best park in Berkeley. A hidden gem.

Love this place the creek is amazing also the woods

Great spot, clean, fun for all ages.

This is a great park with beautiful views of the city!

Great park that’s way bigger than you’d expect. My favorite part is the huge concrete slide, it’s any child’s dream

One of my favorite parks/playgrounds of Berkeley right across from the Rose garden has giant slide basketball courts various structures for all ages as well as great hiking walking trails for exploring nature 5 stars

As great as it was 40 years ago !

An iconic Berkeley park. The big draw is the crazy concrete slide. Picnic tables in the redwoods, a nice set of trails and a playground round out the amenities. Kids and adults love it. Also, the famous Berkeley rose garden is across the street and the view is amazing.

Cool park for everyone...picnic tables and grills and the cement slide is so much fun for kids...the Berkeley rose garden is across the street.

I was really fascinated with the place. My daughter liked their cement slide. The rose garden was beautiful too. Relaxing and peaceful.

Great for kids.

What a fun park. The slide was surprisingly fun. There are plenty of card board boxes laying around the ground to pick up and use. Not only was it fun for kids but for those young at heart. So much to see and a lovely path to wander on.

Great park in the East Bay and worth the climb up the hill. If it is too packed, the Rose Garden is a nice option across the street. Very dog friendly and lots of area to move in so you can find your own little piece to enjoy yourself. Multiple playgrounds for the kids and multiple pinic areas. Packed on weekends. Great cement slide that usually has corrugated for you to use.

Its a nice, hidden away park with a good number of walkable paths, an older and younger kids area, basketball court, small field and some little hills for chilling out....but terrible parking.

Fun and fast! Easy to get to. Beautiful greenery.

A good place to have a little adventure with your dogs or your kids, a place to chill out or relax under the threes, chips your activity small hike, play basketball ,barbecue, playground, lots of fun. I like to spend my day there with my kids ...

Fastest cement slide in the bay. #autismfriendly

Wonderful park tucked into the Berkeley Hills, fun for all ages.

Love Codornices! Great place for kids to explore, play in a creek, games on a field, basketball court and tennis courts on the other side of the tunnel. And then theres the world famous cement slide... For kids of all ages!

Loved this place! Small but felt large, with lots of tucked away wooded nooks and crannies for kids to explore.But the main event is the old school concrete slide! Wish parks still made them like this - fast and exciting while completely safe for young kids and adults alike. My 4 and 2 year old loved it (2 year old slid with Dad) and must have rode it 20 times. Climbing those stairs is a good way to exhaust overly energetic kids

Great view hreat place for my 2 daughters to play and to walk

Beautiful! Lots of little trails to wander, playground, cute little brook--loved it!

Beautiful park to picnic, play games, great playground with a really fun cement slide. Lots of big trees and a lovely creek to cross over

This place is small but amazing. They have an awesome concrete slide that the kids enjoy plus bench areas for party and a basketball court if youre not interested in the playground. Can get cold and windy quick. So I definitely recommend always bringing a jacket.

Beautifully integrated into nature, dope cement slide

A terrific place for a morning or evening walk. There are many small trail like paths inside the park that offer a quite place for meditation or connecting with nature in solitude.

Lovely place to sit and relax

This park is an awesome hidden gem of berkeley

Great place for a picnic. Good, fenced in, toddler playground. Known for its cement slide where you use cardboard to slide!

Loved this park! Didnt explore much beyond the rose garden across the street... but it was great!

Cement slide... heck yah. Bring your cardboard

Wonderful nature park with a creek to meander along and childrens playground for the kiddies.

This concrete slide is as old as me! And fun for everyone. Great park!

Good park, layout was a little weird but it still has everything

Very nice trials and park. Super cool slide for kids and grown ups too!

Beautiful great smelling roses in the garden and a tunnel to take you to trails, picnic spots and the best slide ever(bring your own cardboard)

I will put this straight, one of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen. The slide is so beautiful, a Nd it really represents California’s nice smooth, rocky, and hilly landscape. No matter who I see their, everyone enjoys their visit. (Its free)

This is a really great Park. An exciting feature is a cement slide where more mature children use cardboard to slide down even faster its a really interesting very unique. Whats so cool about this park is that its surrounded by Nature and a really cool Creek—With loads of barbeque set ups and picnic tables.There are two main play structures one for younger children and one for older children. Plus there are ball courts nearby which appeals to older kids and adults alike.There is a bathroom, but its not very clean.

Awesome concrete slide

This park is amazing! Basketball, tennis, two are appropriate play areas, slide, fields... Huge!

Nice park just to walk around and get fresh air

Wonderful park with a long concrete slide. A small park for the lil one 1 to 7 in addition one for older kids. Streams, B.B.Q area, short distance hiking, basketball courts restroom and a tunnel that leads you to the Berkeley rose garden were you can play tennis.

Theu got a fire pit up there. Flippin sweet

Its an amazing park

Beautiful family place, ambient of peace and love...

Pleasant wooded areas. Playground for kids. Field to run your dog.

A good park, with pleasant, shady nooks, copsea, and plenty of room to feel secluded. Aside from the near impossibility of parking, almost ever, I highly recommend!

This slide is a ton of fun in this beautiful park, however the bathrooms are not the best.

A lot of trees it felt comfortable there.

One of the best playgrounds in the East Bay with a great concrete slide and love that its across from the rose garden

Great place to relax and read a book or have a picnic with the family.

We came up here to see the Rose Garden which is on the other side of the street and found this park by accident. We didnt have the time to walk around much, but did see the playground, plenty of picnic areas and several walking trails. Very pretty park and we will likely come back. It is a fairly short walk from the UC Berkeley campus, straight up Euclid. You may want to take Uber (for example) to get to the park and then walk down. Very pretty views of the Bay over by the Rose Garden and as you walk down the street.

I wandered here for the Rose Garden and I left having explored the most amazing park that Ive seen in Berkeley and maybe in my life! This park has everything and every trail leads me somewhere surprising and exciting. Wear sneakers because youll definitely want to explore.

My girls love the concrete slide!

So much founding history here. The oldest historical park in Berkeley.

Loved the hike and beautiful park. Lots of space amd grills.

It’s very nice and big has a big slide for kids to go down using cardboard

Rose garden across from the park

Gorgeous day today. No rain and warm temperatures

Featuring great playgrounds, grassy areas, scenic trails, creeks, and beautiful settings, this is literally the coolest park I know. They have spaces you can reserve for parties and a big concrete slide. All set amidst a small forest. Check it out!

Love the concrete slide, 4 and 6 year old can not get enough of it. Playground equipment could use some updating and it would be nice if there were more tables & a few habachi type grills for a birthday cookout. Other than that its a great day at the park.

Beautiful view of the bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. Nice park to walk around.

I grew up going to Codornices in the 70s and 80s and now bring my son here. It’s a very special park with an awesome concrete slide, woodsy trails, a creek, basketball, play structures, a wide lawn, and a passageway to the rose garden across the street.

They got the last of the east bay big WPA slides

I have been sliding down the concrete slide for over 50 years. Its just dangerous enough to be enormous fun, and its a miracle that it hasnt been sued out of existence.There are nice little hikes up the hill, and you can use it as a base to take hikes up Tamalpais path, throughout the North Berkeley hills.There is an outside basketball court, a toddler area, and a couple of swings. You can walk through a tunnel underneath Euclid to get Rose Garden, with its fabulous views.

Big slide. Good slide.

Pretty playground, quite large. Rides both for toddlers and larger children, including a very long concrete slide. Small gated area for toddlers. The surrounding park makes for smaller hikes. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood with children.

Still my favorite park since childhood

Great place for kids. Good place to start a hike.

So amazing! Well, the concrete slide and the nature around you, especially! The other playground equipment is good enough. There are walking trails, a creek, a water fall, and so so so much more... Come see and explore!

I grew up in Berkeley and remember Codornices as both the best and scariest park in the whole world. That concrete slide that we actually used to sit on waxed paper to slide down so that we could go faster was so scary! Someone was always getting hurt or tearing their clothes, so, of course, I had to take my 6 year old when we visited Berkeley at the end of 2016. He had a blast - he was terrified to go by himself at first and then couldnt get enough of it and wants to go back with waxed paper!

Best park in the east bay. Only wish it was more of a secret because it can get packed with summer clubs. In the afternoons there are usually basketball games since the rims are probably the best outdoor rims you can find.

For any long time Berkeley resident this is probably where you came as a kid and where you probably come now with your kids. Multiple slides including a long concrete one, stream, swing and play fields, all you need. Parking can be a little tricky but you can usually find something within a couple of blocks.

I love this park!! Its truly amazing, I recommended it to everyone, especially people who like nature like I do. Best park for family events and gatherings. Really beautiful, peaceful and friendly park to go to.

An exceptional park. Also features a beautiful rose garden across the street.

Even adults should go down the slide!! If you didnt bring your own cardboard, theres usually some there - youll want it. Also, great views and wonderful nature paths with several picnic spots.

This place is just cool (somewhat literally, there is a good mix of sunny and shady). The cement slide is fast, faster if you sit on a piece of cardboard that you find laying around on the ground. Swings for big kids that get you pretty high, fenced in sandy area with a slide and baby swings and a little structure to sit inside of. Then there are the rose gardens, which smell delicious even in their decline. This part is not super stroller friendly. There are hiking paths (if you walk beyond the cement slide), which are stroller friendly to a point, and then become more dirt paths and difficult. Finally, there is the fun tunnel connecting the rose gardens and the other part. Street parking is for 2 hours, free. There are bathrooms but they lock them in the late afternoon.

Nice place to relax.

Nice place to BBQ if you can get over the judgmental glares of entitled Beckys

I love the cement slide. Last time I went was about 4 years ago but it is a place I always go to when Im in the area, even if its out of the way of my actual destination.

Who doesnt have fond memories of going down the stone slide here on a piece of worn-down cardboard, constantly in fear of skinning your butt? Or exploring the trails in the hills of this deceptively large park and coming out in a completely different place than you expected to?The bathrooms are disgusting, though. Never use them.

Lovely park with woodsy trails and open green space big play area for kids and its connected to the Rose garden too.
