James Kenney Park brings sports facilities, play areas and community recreation together in West Berkeley.
Separate spaces for younger and older children complement courts, a multi-use field and picnic areas.
The city lists the park at 1720 Eighth Street. Outdoor park access is separate from classes or activities inside James Kenney Community Center, so check registration and facility hours for any organized program. The photograph shows the actual field and park setting in an earlier season. Confirm court or field arrangements before planning a game, and share informal-use areas with other visitors.
