Currently maintained by the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District, these are the oldest Japanese gardens in California. It’s not a large garden and the grounds can be covered in about 30 minutes depending on what sort of contemplative mood you’re in. Still, it’s free and open from 8:30am – 4:00pm every day except Christmas.

This is an extremely flat area that looks great for an easy stroll or a trail run. The bay breeze kept the hike cool despite the 90+ degree temperatures further inland.
