Christ Church at the Park

In lieu of our regular worship services in Berkeley and Rockridge, both sites will convene at the Mineral Springs Picnic Site in Tilden Park for the following festivities:

9:00 Members meeting
11:00 Worship service
11:45 This Year at Christ Church
12:15 Picnic

Bring a picnic blanket, a folding chair, footballs and frisbees.  We will be serving Top Dogs (with a vegetarian option), the cost will be $3 per person, and kids eat free.  We kindly ask that you bring the following for up to a dozen people:

Last name A-G: Drinks
Last name H-P: Chips/Fruit

This is a wonderful opportunity to bring along friends, neighbors, and co-workers and introduce them to the Christ Church community in a beautiful, fun, and relaxed setting. 

Carpooling

Driving Directions
There are many ways to reach Mineral Springs in Tilden Park, which is located off of Wildcat Canyon Road between Inspiration Point and the Botanic Garden. For Google maps, key in the latitude and longitude below.

From Berkeley, you may take Grizzly Peak Road, east on Shasta (0.5 mi), right on Wildcat Canyon Road (0.8 mi), and left into Mineral Springs Picnic Area (if you get to the Inspiration Point you’ve gone too far).

From Oakland or the east, you may take the Orinda exit from Highway 24, go north toward Orinda Village and Richmond on Camino Pablo. Go about 3 miles, left at the light onto Wildcat Canyon Road for 3.1 miles. pass Inspiration Point, and right into Mineral Springs Picnic Area (if you get to the Botanical Garden you’ve gone too far).

If the lot is full, and it probably will be if it is a nice day, you may park on the shoulder of the road if your vehicle is completely off the road and is not in a “No Parking Zone”.

Public Transit
Take BART to the downtown Berkeley station. Take the #67 AC Transit bus, which leaves once an hour at 50 minutes past the hour. Go to the end of the line and get off at the Brazilian Room in Tilden. Walk about 1 km on Wildcat Canyon Road past the Botanical Garden to the Mineral Springs Group Picnic Area. The return bus leaves once an hour at 15 minutes after the hour. The adult (18–64) one-way fare is $1.75; the youth (5–17) and senior (65+) fare is $0.85.
