John Hinkel Park, Berkeley

Printer-friendly version

Corner of Southampton and Somerset, just off The Arlington

From Buses:

7 along The Arlington. Walk one block into park

From BART:

Not very accessible except with the help of a bicycle, bus or taxi! Berkeley or North Berkeley BART Stations

Driving from San Francisco/East Bay/South Bay:

• Take 80 to the Albany/Buchanan exit (it is the next exit after the Gilman exit)
• From the exit, veer right, which will bring you to Marin heading east, towards the Berkeley hills
• Take Marin east for a couple miles until you get to a circle or roundabout.
• At the roundabout, go 3/4 of the way around to Arlington (bi-level street)
• Take Arlington 1/2 mile to Southampton/Somerset—there is a “John Hinkel Park” sign on the left, but it is difficult to see. If you find yourself in Kensington (if you see shops), you have gone too far.
• Take a right onto Southampton/Somerset
• Drive to back of park (keep park on left) and park in parking lot
