While driving around the Berkeley Hills admiring the houses and landscapes, we came upon Indian Rock. It was just what we needed to appease our 8 year old who was beginning to get a bit restless! We all had a grand time climbing all over this rock, exploring little nooks and crannies, walking up some carved steps, and eating our... More

I've been climbing up these rocks for 40 years and return again and again for the near-panoramic views of the Bay Area and the smell of the Eucalyptus trees. If you have 20 minutes you can go here to climb up, breathe easy and think while contemplating the 20 mile vista, or bring the kids and eat lunch at the... More

Everything about this tiny park is so cool. I've driven back streets in Berkeley hundreds of times and never seen it. Its a HUGE chunk of granite on both sides of a tiny residential street.

This is a tiny 'park' within Berkeley, easily accessible by car. The key attraction is a large rock outcropping, which one can climb (not difficult, there are steps put into the stone at places). From the top, very good view across southwest to northwest. With decent visibility it should be no problem to see San Francisco and its bridges. There... More

How is that none of the other reviewers mention what is probably the second most common activity at Indian -- bouldering! Bring your shoes and chalk for some challenging boulder problems.

It's hardly a park, this is just a big rock in the Berkeley Hills that you can climb on top of to see the Bay view. It's great, beautiful, romantic, inspirational, I could go on and on. Go there if you get a chance.

Indian Rock Park is very accessible and lots of fun to hike/walk along. There are great spots to rest at or relax on for awhile, while taking in the beautiful views.
