Welcome to the Friends of Bedwell Bayfront Park website
What's New?
Not seeing ground squirrels? See "In the News" for an explanation. There are fewer hawks, since they prey on ground squirrels.
Information posts now mark the Great Spirit Path art installation. Take a walk and check it out. See the interpretive brochure here.
Posts also mark an orienteering trail. Find out more at http://baoc.org/wiki/Maps/Permanent_Courses. Please stay on the trail.
A new bench has been installed across the road from the restrooms and overlooking Flood Slough. Relax and watch the birds go by.
Informative signs!
There is a large sign in the main parking lot, with a map of the park and its trails.
Walk out to the northeast corner (where the little binoculars symbol is on the park brochure) and you’ll find signs about the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge restoration, and a panorama of what you can see from that viewpoint.
About us
Our Organization
Formed in 2005 to counter the proposal to develop a golf course at Bayfront Park, Friends of Bedwell Bayfront Park also fought the next plan to put playing fields at the park, culminating in the resounding defeat of Measure J in the November, 2006 election. Our goal now is to ensure that Bedwell Bayfront Park receives more permanent protection as open space for "passive" recreation. We would also like to make a few improvements to the park.
Friends of Bedwell Bayfront Park is an officially sponsored project of Acterra.
Friends of Bedwell Bayfront Park is also a member of the Kepler's Community Partners Program. Whenever anyone mentions our name while shopping at Kepler's, they record the transaction and quarterly donate back 5% to us.
Our Mission
The mission of the Friends of Bedwell Bayfront Park is to enhance the unique open space of Bedwell Bayfront Park and to promote it regionally now and for future generations.
Contacts
