JAPANESE GARDENS REVIEWS
Beautiful place to go for looking at a large variety of trees. Handicapped accessible paths. Pavilions to sit in for shady quiet moments, though I don't think any of them are easily accessed for persons with mobility issues. It's not a sprawling place with acreage, but they maximize their space with lots of paths weaving around the garden. There are places to sit, some in shade, and it's easy to socially distance or find a quiet place to just sit and take in the nature. Parking is limited, but there are handicapped spaces available. The entrance is not clearly marked and can be confusing, but it is the pathway closest to the street. I think they may have an indoor museum or gift store, but I'm not entirely sure since it was closed when I arrived. If you're looking for something that doesn't take a lot of time, this is a good choice. You can walk this at a leisurely pace and be out in less than an hour, or you can take your time and stay an entire afternoon just sitting and taking in fresh air and beautiful scenery.
Great garden inside the city. Spotted some deer. Nice places to sit and watch the fish. The only eyesore is the trash you see falling of the cliff on the other side of San Lorenzo Creek (visible from the look out).
What a beautiful garden to commune with the trees, the sky, our ancestors, koi and all of God's magnificent creation.

HAYWARD AREA HISTORICAL SOCIETY REVIEWS
Attended their special evening exhibition and reception. What a great event! Exhibition of Japanese Encampment during WWII was both thorough and touching. The human spirit shines through those artifacts even after more than 70 years! Staff at HAHS continues doing great jobs! (BTW, good time to shoot the hippest restaurant in Hayward area!).
What a cute little way to spend your time during the day on a weekend. We just happened to stumble in after eating breakfast in the attached Cafe. The museum is free for at least the next two years! It was sweet to see all the old school utensils and tools that were used in the mid-1900s. Also, it was really cool to see how a cannery works, even though it was the children's exhibit. We stayed for a free presentation about African American civil liberties, then and now. We ended up winning a calendar in a raffle, and staying for 4 hours! It was a delightfully surprising day.
Good place to know about Haywards history. Small coffee shop here. Small gift shop. Free admission.

C. E. SMITH MUSEUM OF ANTHROPOLOGY REVIEWS
Anthropology Museum, with the student, built exhibits which have spanned multiple anthropological fields. These exhibits are tied closely to the regional intricacies and ethnic groups represented across the campus, and are a work of passion for the CSUEB students; with a great interest in respecting the many communities who contribute invaluable experience, skills, knowledge, and history to the museum.
Great student/faculty curated small museum. My baby girl has arrived, a real college student.
