The place had established trails for walking and biking. The bathrooms had flush toilets and they were clean. A very good place to do birding. But there were lots of jet airliners flying by as they approached San Francisco International. There was supposed to be a small charge for entry but the booth was unmanned and the vending machine was broken so there was a sign which said, "Free."
I am sure that will be fixed soon.

Enjoyed walking/trekking on Coyote Hills Regional Park. There is a fee per car (and additional cost for dog) to get into the park. During winter period, it can be really cold because of the wind, so be prepared.
This is at least half a day event. There are various route you can take and you can determine from the start. Highly recommend for those who wants outside activity and exercise.

We were looking for something to do on a beautiful day during lockdown. This place has options of different lengths of trails for different abilities. You can hike or ride bikes, you can stay flat or go uphill. We ended up doing about 5 miles and saw a plethora of wildlife... vultures, wild turkeys, rabbits, squirrels, a snake, lizards & various waterfowl. You can even get a view of the salt flats which have an interesting history.
It was a great place to get exercise and be outdoors. Masks required & social distancing but worth the trip! Open until 7pm.

Easy to get to and park with good facilities in the area. Relatively easy hikes with decent views, but you have to get to the top of the hills to get to those views. This is a good option if you're looking for something easy or if you're in a time crunch.

I've read mostly great reviews of Coyote Hills and it did not disappoint. What I was disappointed with though is the amount of stinge there is during my hike. I took the Bayview Trail loop which was beautiful but was ruined because it was so hard to tolerate the sewer smell. I haven't read anything about the smell on any reviews here so I'm hoping it's an isolated event. This trail is easy to moderate with spectacular view of the bay. It's about a 5-mile loop but we ended up taking other trails. What I enjoyed is there are so many other trail options depending on the level of difficulty you want that can take you through the hills, marshes and water. There's not a lot of shade, it's best to visit early on. Also, there's a parking about 1.5 miles from the park entrance that's free.

I was staying nearby in the Aloft Newark and realized I wanted to get outside after many days in conference rooms. This was a quick 5 min drive from the hotel. I parked outside the gates as the signs said no parking after 7pm (it was 6). It was a pretty lengthy walk in, so would suggest going earlier unless you’re down for a long walk and/or are a runner (or on bike would be good). After getting into the park, I immediately noticed how calm it was. Ducks and birds and a couple of deer (and luckily didn’t see any of the mountain lions). It was later and I was alone so I picked up a big stick (walking stick or weapon—whichever) for the hike. I hiked past the welcome center and up a big hill, then up another hill where I finally got the view of the bridge and the water and SF. Very breezy and truly lovely up there. I stayed until just after the sun went below the horizon then I GTFO because I don’t think I could defend myself against a mountain lion and it was getting dark. Highly reco a hike here. Definitely bring water and your walking shoes because some of the trails were a little steep/slippery!

Great walking trails. Love Alameda creek. City using goats to keep the creek clearer. Love these goats. Bit further towards Ardenwood. Crunching sound as the goats sashay through the brush..and chomping and eating the native grass....was amazing!

When you first get to the entrance, there is a small parking lot to the left. Parking here is free but you will have to walk a bit until you reach the actual park with all the different trails. If you drive about a mile up, you can pay $5 to be closer to the trails. You can bike, run, or just enjoy the view. The trails are super easy and sometimes breezy (especially by the water). Be warned though, there is no shade so put on some sunscreen and wear a hat!

Can we come and walk the trail early Saturday Morning around 6:30am? or will gates be closed?
Written May 3, 2017
There isn't a gate etc. simply park and walk on the trail. There is no charge and thus, no need to have anyone there at 0630.
