Timeline

Begin at Terrace View Park. The three-level layout offers plenty of space to stretch your legs and take in the high hilltop perspective without the crowds.
09:18
Walk west to Remillard Park. It is a short stroll from the anchor and provides early-level rock climbing challenges and a play area if you want to pause for a quick break.
09:39
Continue west to the Berkeley Rose Garden. This half-hour walk north of the campus area is especially nice for watching the light change. The garden hosts over 12,000 species, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely afternoon stroll.
