    Stay a moment after sunset to let your eyes adjust. The park closes at 10PM, so you have plenty of time, but the atmosphere shifts quickly once the sun is gone.

    Head back down. Since there are no food or drink options listed within the park context, check the route for AC Transit bus 31 or drive to nearby Oakland streets for dinner and a drink after dark.
