About

Visitors love the sweeping views of the bay and the airport, making it a top spot for plane spotting. The hike is short but packs a punch with steep inclines that catch many off guard. While the scenery is spot on, some find the lack of maintenance and loose gravel a bit sketchy. It is a great quick workout if you have the right shoes. Just don't expect a traditional park with lots of amenities.

Steep but worth the view

Wear shoes with good grip

Not a real park, just a hill
