Gateway Park - the Judge John Sutter
Regional Shoreline
 Located
at the foot of the new east span of the Bay Bridge on former Oakland
Army Base land, this shoreline park is being developed as a gateway to the
East Bay.
Featuring
spectacular shoreline views of San Francisco from its 600-foot
observation pier, the park serves as the
jumping-off point for the Bay Trail to join the Bay Bridge bike path to
Treasure Island. The park site is also the location
where the East Bay’s historic Key System trolley line met the San
Francisco ferries to cross the bay. Interpretive park features commemorate this transportation node, including the history of the old
and new Bay Bridges.
The park is named for John Sutter, the retired East Bay
civic and environmental leader who spearheaded its
development. For decades, Judge Sutter has been
instrumental in obtaining and preserving public access to
the bay shoreline.
