Turnbull Park

Foot of East 5th Street, Benicia CA 94510

Turnbull Park - Benicia, California

Let's paint at Turnbull Park at the foot of East 5th Street in Benicia. This shoreline spot has a great view of Diablo with a vintage pier and ferry building in the foreground, along with good views of the hills across the strait. There's also a marina if you'd like to try your hand at some boats.

This is a public park and has a restroom, but I can't guarantee it will be open. It's a short drive to other public restrooms in town. Ask me if you want help finding them.

Admission is free, rain cancels. I hope to see you there!

Glen Cove Waterfront Park

Glen Cove Waterfront Park was so awesome this week -- let's go back! It's always a little windy out there, so just be prepared. There are some big trees that provide a little wind shelter, and also some concrete picnic tables that make a good "base camp."

The park is at the end of Whitesides Drive in Vallejo. Park in the small lot or on the street. Be aware that there are no restrooms at this park, but there are restrooms a short drive away at Glen Cove School Park on Glen Cove Parkway next to the tennis courts.

Admission is free, rain cancels. I hope to see you there!

Alvarez Ninth Street Park

Let's paint at beautiful Alvarez Ninth Street Park in Benicia! There's a big parking lot and a restroom at the foot of West 9th Street. From there it's a short walk to great views in all directions. Or you may choose to park on West 10th Street for closer access to the northwest end of the shoreline path.

It's often windy here, though, so be prepared! I found a little wind shelter behind the big fennel plants along the bluffs.

Admission is free, restrooms are open, rain cancels. Hope to see you there!
