Positive Reviews:

Christ Lulz: ★★★★★

Saw a man practise golf, which was pretty awesome. Found a broken Portable Play Station. There’s a playground too. This park is quite awesome, due to the general lack of greenery, every park in Oakland is a gem.

David Dickens: ★★★★

Clean restrooms, right off 580 fwy., place to kill time during commute, stretch legs, and a really nice tot lot and ballfields. One of Oaklands cleaner parks. Great job O.P.W.A.

V Tancredi: ★★★

Neighborhood park for Eastmont Hills and surrounding area. Named after a prominent early teacher, astronomer and director of the Chabot Observatory, Charles Burkhalter. It's a fairly basic park, baseball field, tennis court, picnic area with an outdoor kids classroom, play structures with one swing. Men's and women's bathroom. It's reasonably well maintained but prone to getting graffitied in the bathroom. Every few months it gets tagged again. Small parking lot. Adjacent to Highway for easy access but also pollution. Parking lot seems to get a lot of traffic from people that like to litter, doesn't feel that comfortable to be there after sundown.

Negative Reviews:

Ed Johnson: ★★

Come for the garage, but stay for the crazed wild dogs

Quincy Savage: ★★

The baseball field is super choppy with a lot of big holes in it. It would be very easy to twist your ankle running around in a grass. Also people don't understand that dogs are not allowed in the park not only that for some reason they like to let them off the leash in a park where they're not even allowed. I really hope that's Department of parks and Recreation starts cracking down. The other day I went out there with my 7 month old son And I had to fight off a rather large bull terrier That the owner had no control of and decided to let off the leash.
