This park is open from 7am - 10pm. With views of Mt. Tamalpais front and center, take a load off and imagine all of the hard work that went into developing this part of the Emeryville Marina landfill area that makes these views especially nice. Due to the exact placement of the geocache wheelchair access is not recommended. Bring a pencil. Please replace exactly as found.

In the late 1960s, Francis Pierce Lathrop, a Berkeley developer, purchased most of the new peninsula and built the “Powell Street Extension” from the freeway out to the end. In June 1969, the Planning Commission and City Council approved Lathrop’s master development plan for the area, which included several restaurants, the 1,249-unit low-rise Watergate apartments, a high-rise office tower, and the high-rise Holiday Inn hotel. Lathrop also built a new City Hall for Emeryville, on the south side of Powell Street about midway along the peninsula, which today serves as the Police Department headquarters. Just east of the freeway, Lathrop built a Denny’s restaurant and a six-story office building.
