Alvarado Park, Richmond

We will be meeting at the the entrance to Alvarado Park in Richmond on Monday at 10am (don't forget time change). Alvarado Park was built in 1907, and much of the stonework in the park was created by WPA Italian American stone masons during the 30's and 40's. There is a wonderful stone bridge over a running Wildcat creek.

Directions:
FROM BERKELEY
80 North to Solano Exit, turn left on Amador (frontage road to 80), go a few blocks to McBryde, turn right. Go East up McBryde. Where McBryde splits (Park left, McBryde right) you will see 2 stone piers indicating the entrance to the Park. You can park on Park street and walk back to the entrance where we will meet (at the piers). You can also come along the Arlington to the end and it washes into McBryde.
