Dorothy Bolte Park is a multi-level neighborhood park tucked into the Berkeley Hills, offering play areas, natural surroundings, and a 40-foot concrete slide that connects the upper and lower playgrounds. With plenty of shade from mature trees and a quiet atmosphere, it provides a relaxed setting for play and outdoor enjoyment.
The upper terrace features a play structure for toddlers, a deep sand play area, and interactive elements like a gear wall and bouncy toy. The lower terrace has a larger climbing structure suited for older kids, along with open spaces for running and playing. The concrete slide, a hidden gem compared to the more popular Codornices Park slide, offers a fun, fast ride for kids and adventurous adults. Many bring cardboard for a smoother glide down the slide’s surface.
Benches and grassy areas throughout the park provide seating for watching children play or enjoying a quiet break.
