Now part of the Eastshore State Park system, this reclaimed landfill is home to trails with views of San Francisco and the bay, sea birds, as well as tons of crazy urban junk art. There's a sandy beach, and dogs are allowed off-leash. In spring, colorful wildflowers grow amid the broken blocks of concrete. Might not be safe after dark. Park at or ride bikes to west end of Buchanan St. Free.
The Albany Bulb is a former landfill largely owned by the City of Albany, in California. The Bulb is the west end of a landfill peninsula jutting west from the east shore of San Francisco Bay. The term "Bulb" is often used to refer to the entire peninsula, which includes the Albany Plateau, north of Buchanan Street at its base; the high narrow "Neck," and the round "Bulb." The Bulb is part of the City of Albany, and can be reached via Buchanan Street or the Bay Trail along the east side of San Francisco Bay. Landmarks include Mary's Mask, Gritchell's Bay, and Mad Marc's Castle.

Albany Hill is a nice place to walk. If you go to the top there are many trees, and a nice sitting area with benches. A rope swing provides fun for kids of all ages!
