Facilities

Berkeley’s recreation facilities offer spaces for play, exercise, and community gatherings, and many can be reserved or rented.

Parks and playgrounds offer opportunities for hands-on exploration, while community centers host classes, events, and cultural programs. Dedicated youth spaces support development through enrichment activities, and pools provide aquatic programs, including lap swimming, lessons, and recreation.

Reserve a City event space for parties, weddings, meetings, or performances in our parks, community centers, camps, or amphitheaters.
