My husband and I saw salmon being unloaded off a truck a few years ago by the Fish and Game. What a sight! We are lucky to have this boat launch and the playground that makes this area a neighborhood park.

Beautiful views of the Carquinez Straits and the solitude of being next to the water can be found on or near the public pier.

The Clocktower is a great venue for large events. Plenty of parking and plenty of space for a large crowd.
