Small hilltop park with sweeping views over Berkeley, the Bay and distant San Francisco — ideal for skyline, sunset and cityscape shots. Easy access (street parking, close to North Berkeley BART and buses), no entry fee. Best at golden hour and blue hour for warm light and reflections; weekdays and early mornings avoid locals and dog-walkers. Paths are short and mostly accessible; bring wind protection for tripod work.
