The Paths

The are approximately 140 paths owned by the City of Berkeley, most of them in good condition with minimal difficulties for the walker. We have compiled a full
list of paths giving the top and bottom street for each.

A number of pathways are, at this time, unimproved, and are shown on the BPWA map as dotted lines. There are two listings of the unbuilt paths -- the first of these is ordered by the addresses of streets where unimproved paths begin and end. This is useful if you want to find paths that lead from a particular street. The other has a list of paths with street addresses that is arranged by the name of the path. This help you to find a particular unimproved path.

A major goal of BPWA is to improve paths which have not yet been built. Please see the special section on Path Building and the date of our Next Work Party.

The photographs of the paths are organized by area of the City, and can be viewed by clicking on the links below:

We have a collection of handouts and background information from some of our earlier walks that may be useful in planning one's own walk. Please see our section on
Self-Guided Walks.

Also, please take a look at the Path stories that have been collected over the years.
