It's left over from the days of the railroad. I think they would take the train cars and drive them right on the boats or the other way around. I love this thing. It's falling apart. You can walk safely next to it on a pier that you can fish off of too. If I was a set designer, I would totally use this as inspiration for a false proscenium for some show.
Can you see the Bay Bridge? The view was gorgeous and it was so sunny! We walked down to the swimming beach, which was nice and protected and then back along the railroad tracks towards the pond and back to the car.
On our way home we drove through Point Richmond. Point Richmond is adorable. If I had be more proactive and it hadn't been quite so early, we probably would have stayed to have lunch and look at the antique stores. I do want to go back and hang out there.
The Verdict: I would totally come back for the Model Railroad, which was closed and also to hike the hilly trails. I bet the views there are really pretty. I might even swim down there when it's warm, although I would probably want to swim for a while. Also, there is a motorcycle headquarters in the park. Well done Richmond!
