Delightful Berkley ramshackle fixture. Sign the waiver that promises you won't sue them for anything, then unleash your kids on a playground built of salvaged materials. If you clean-up some rusty nails, splinters or other dangerous stuff, they'll loan you a hammer, or handsaw, or a tub of paint. Take those tools a "help" build the park. It's wonderful to give kids a chance to explore and live a bit dangerously, all in the spirit of creative, collaborative play. You'll get dirty, covered in paint. The staff is very supportive, helping the kids accomplish their own goals in safe ways. This is one of the most "Berkeley" places out there.

My kids' favorite place in Berkeley. They could spend good 3-4 hours easily here. They keep themselves very busy with building forts with boards and also hammering away. Great way to be creative with building materials. A little bit of supervising for safety (using nails and hammers), it's a great place for kids to experiment.
The zipline there is an icing on the cake!
All the staffs & volunteers I've met are so friendly and dedicated. I've noticed that they were always very patient with kids.
This is one of those places that I would recommend to visit and experience while visiting SF bay area with kids in age of 6 to 13. It's now much harder to find this sort of kids playground in US.

Adventure Park was a lot of fun for kid's. The zip line for ages 6+ was fun for my daughter. The Berkeley Marina had a perfect wind to fly our kites. There were picnic tables and bathrooms.

Indescribably awesome. Terrifying at first as a parent - kids running amok work hammers, saws and buckets of bucket. This collaborative creative self constructed playground/art installation is truly not to be missed

This place is exactly what I wanted as a child - freedom to paint, hammer, build, play, and imagine, all with the most beautiful view of the bay. They have inexpensive drop in for the kids (free if parent is present, $10 if child will stay without parent up to 3 hours I believe), which I will probably try at some point.
