Description

Perched on stilts above a salt marsh, the Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center is your introduction to the ecology of the San Francisco Bay-Estuary. After getting an overview of the park and its features, join a naturalist on one of the many weekend interpretive programs offered.

Mission

The Interpretive Center features exhibits, programs and activities designed to inspire a sense of appreciation, respect and stewardship for the Bay, its inhabitants and the services they provide.

History

All the land of the Hayward Shoreline was once used for the production of salt beginning in the 1850's and ceasing in the early 1980's. The land was acquired by East Bay Regional Parks and the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District and restored into salt marsh habitat which hosts a wide variety of birds, mammals, invertebrates, reptiles, and fish.
