A cute little patch of grass thats perfect for picnics with friends. The neighborhood is quiet and clean.

Excellent park. During the summer months- once a month, live Musicians come & Play for the community. Laurels Quartet (an all Girl Ensemble) wowed us w/ a Jazz set (Sax, Flute, Drums & Bass), while Christian Salazar (by way of Brazil) amazed the crowd w/ his Amazing Guitar riffs & Brazilian Vocals; Truly a Treat!

Nice quite area away from all the busy street. Sometimes there are gathering of dogs here

Best central meeting point in Berkeley. Right by the trails and right by campus/downtown.

Lots of fun and good entertainment, and my little Bobo got lots of attention.

My dog loves it, so I love it. There is refreshing shade, and nice sunny grass that is perfect for playing with a dog or reading a book.

Nice homes and neighborhoods, but I was is this area for a Cal Football game and its an absolute nightmare between the traffic and finding parking!!! I recommend parking far away and taking Uber or Lyft

This legendary island running for about a eighth of a mile, just above Claremont near Ashby was is the stuff of dreams for junior moto-x riders and mountain bikes (We called them Baloony bikes back in the day for their over-inflated-looking tires) who can just let loos with this run that is about a 200 feet of bike riding fun. Also a great place for young miscreants like the one I was to meet girls above your class and shock their erstwhile parents with your street manners. Lol. Good times.

Neat little park and I mean little. its composed of a lawn area and some trees. parking doesnt seem to be an issue and it also was not crowded at all. theres just enough space to enjoy some sunshine.

Not much here but a open grass area with trees in the four way coldasack of a upper class neighbor located close to Emerson Elementary

Great spot to take your dog...

Great local gathering space for kids, dogs, neighbors. Dont known where the name came from as I have visited the park for decades & have never seen a monkey. A permanent picnic table would be a nice addition.

Cute little park frequented mainly by dogs and their owners.

Prior to the development of the Claremont Court subdivision, a spring at the top of the Garber St. hill flowed down and created a pond here. It is said that local farmers would bring their cattle to wallow in the cool waters. The famed painter William Keith is said to have painted the pastoral scene.With the initial development of the subdivision in 1906, a water company took over the spring, and a culvert was built, allowing the creation of the park. The subdivision plan called for gas street lanterns, but after the earthquake and fire in San Francisco the idea was discarded. The original gas lines are exposed in some places in the parking strips. The subdivision initially prohibited automobiles.Sometime in the 1920s a Monkey tree was planted on the park. Over the decades it grew to be very large. During the 1960s, neighborhood children would meet at the tree in the evening to play tag and hide & seek. Eventually, the Monkey tree grew so large that the City decided it was a potential hazard and removed it.Although many believe it to be a dog park, it is not. The park is reserved for cats on Tuesday and Thursday.

This place is awesome. Theres a small grass patch in the middle of a bunch of roads. Its big enough to play catch if you throw with your non-dominant arm. Also, theres one bench for sitting on. The name makes no sense, and generally no one else is ever here. Great spot!

Nice

Cute tiny neighborhood park

Charming and peaceful community space with green lawn for kids and other little creatures, shade tree, and a bench.
