My husband and I decided to return to this park after 20 years and its just the same as I remember. Somehow theyve been able the keep this park primarily clean and have added a lot a vegetable gardens that seemed to be growing on the open.

There have been many sad attempts to paint People’s Park as some sort of beautiful community center, but at the end of the day it’s just another fentanyl cesspit. Busted up tents, hoards of stolen bicycles and piles and piles of garbage.
Peoples Park is a good place to go to if you want to experience fallout 4 in real life, it has all the chems, raiders, and even super mutants! Berkeleys brotherhood of steel forcibly ejected me from their group due to smoking crack, so I have decided to join the the raiders and live in peoples park. The evil institute want to knock our tents down and build useless things like public services and student housing. Like how are is are those things more important and prosperous than our great tent village.
The most famous city block in known history I was say,and its not because Ive traveled to most known small famous city block or even conducted a research on the subject so dont think Im some form of a scholar. Im from Berkeley... Daaaàa. Here you have in Peaples park the embodiment what the word in meaning of hippie.peace love and hair grease.
People in Peoples Park like to hit each other and yell at each other. You can find free food and shelter in Alameda county, so theres no reason for showing up to Peoples Park.
So the 2 months I visited the park I’ve come to the realization that the actual park is Great!!
Have a lot of fond memories of going there for events, protests but now unfortunately its a homelessness encampment.
A sad reality if todays lack of Humanity, Empathy, Compassion and LOVE for our Sisters, Brothers and Families.Great Sprites and Very Appreciative of ANY DONATIONS...FOOD or CLOTHING! Just leave on concrete landing
Peoples encampment, homeless park. its always in a a weird state of almost being bulldozed, vacated, or something until it isnt
Dude, I was there Monday afternoon minding my own business when I happened on to a man who had gifted me some acid. Seeing as it looked tasty, I promptly went home shortly thereafter and consumed said acid.Fast forward to 3am today, Tuesday, and Im still enjoying the journey. Thats so good and typical of peoples park. Come for the sun, stay for the acid, ha ha ha...
Its so sad these people are living in tents in the park, exposed to the elements, non sanitary conditions
They finally got rid of almost all the homeless people
This park is for all people needing a place to just be the people they are without being judged or run off into dangerousness. This park isnt for the kind of people who have too many empty complaints and more than enough money to solve those complaints themselves. Please be charitable, kind, patient and tolerant of everyone no matter the situation. You can always remove yourself from it and be on your way. Take care of this space and dont make messes you cant clean respectably.
Never seen so many homeless people in one place woah
For an authentic slice of Berkeley history visit this pretty park surrounded by historic buildings. People’s Park was created by 1960s radicals and has been an irreverent living monument to that tumultuous era ever since! Don’t let people scare you off unless you can’t deal with unhoused people (sadly a fact of life in today’s America)
Too many unidentified people walking around like zombies...unless a quick drive or walk by...I would avoid this park at Night...Dont believe the hype. . Theres good people living at this park.. these are the people that need attention!
I remember as a kid when you could actually play here. Now its just a homeless encampment. At this point they should make it one of those tiny house villages for the homeless at least so they arent living in tents.
Ugh. Peoples Park should be kept as an open space!
Its been over 20 years sense ive been there. I use to be a homeless traveler and spent alot of my time in this park. So many amazing memories with my fellow traveling buddies. Hope it stays just how it is now.
This park is a home for many folks. Stop by and be friendly and respectful. Its a pretty little park with restrooms covered in beautiful murals and pretty flowers
Sad now it shows us how fragile the economy is for the rest of us Im about to lose my place so it looks like an inviting place for me to live since there really isnt a place for a legally blind person to be able to afford on social security ever if I share a room with a stranger at an sro its still 3/4 of what Im paid so I would starve or eat ramen once a day and nothing else to survive
Im going to miss Peoples Park when its no longer; making way for a large apartment complex thereby lessening the housing crisis in Berkeley. I dont begrudge having more housing in Berkeley, but I do feel a little bit sad because Peoples Park was a place a lot of homeless people hung out together. Its been part of Berkeley for a long time and symbolizes, for me at least, the tolerant spirit of this city. I guess the removal of it is symbolic too. Its the new, Whiter, less diverse, Weve-been-priced-out-of-SF spirit of Berkeley.
Unfortunately, strongly suggest you avoid bringing children or pets. Not safe. Too many transients and temporary tents.
The park is unusable. It has become a tent city of people with mental problems and schizophrenia. Do not go near this park or the area in general.
Alot of tents houses but every 1 is friendly
As Americans we should be Ashamed that so many of our fellow people are so down and out. Homeless people arent any different from the the gentry....STRIKE THAT, they are different, The homeless are humble, respectful, thoughtful, helpful. They suffer in silence while the rich pad bank accounts with money theyll never live to spend. That is wrong, sorry if you cant handle the truth.
Perhaps not the best place to take your kids. However in spite of its problems I am glad the people there, who are there can find some safety and friendship in their lives. We all deserve kindness
Preserving civil rights for the people since 1969.
Precious little park! I used to haul my massage table here to give the homeless free massages while I was a Massage Therapy student. Meals On Wheels (an organic, vegetarian food business) delivers food here for anyone whos hungry. 💓
This park gave me a place to sleep when i was going thru some rough times in my life. It is kind of a well known safe place for travelrs. Not the best of parks, deffinetly dont bring your kids here, no more play equipment. Dont walk around barefoot you might get stuck by a needle. But there are some good parts about the park. On weekdays around 1pm there are free meals provided. Lots of memories made atthis park.
As a non-homeless person I feel very uncomfortable coming here. I have nothing against homeless people but as a female in my twenties I dont appreciate all the unwanted cat calls and general harassment that comes along with this park. Its such a big park in downtown Berkeley which would be a nice escape from all the concrete but I dont feel entirely safe coming here which is frustrating. I wish we could all just coexist and enjoy the park without unnecessary harassment.
Needs to be outfitted a little better with resources but they offer refuge to the wandering homeless. I take Lifeline phones there.
Historical landmark and much more. I am one of those marginal people you may have seen at the park. I often eat at the free meal that is served there in weekdays. I appreciate the existence of Peoples Park. Generally its a mellow place to hang out. Its no more dangerous than Golden Gate park in San Francisco. One murder since 1969.
Peoples Park is amazing. So many different people from different places and walks of life. Tired of UC blaming the homeless for the parks state of disrepair, when they themselves claim ownership of the park. If they own it, maintaining it should be their job, not the job of the people that spend their time there. When garbage cans are filled to the brim, and theres no toilet paper, soap, and the water pressure sucks, they blame the homeless, when it is their job to remove the garbage and stock the restrooms. I tried my hardest as long as I could afford it, to stock the bathrooms with at least toilet paper. Im homeless and paying out of pocket for something that the University should be responsible for.
If you are looking for somewhere inexpensive to have some lunch then come here as you have plenty to choose from. At this centre you cam buy almost anything from pork to chicken and everything in between and it will just cost under S$10 For a nice meal.We have pork and duck meat with a pork soup and it was delicious. If you want to try something different then go for the black skin chicken. For drinks you can get anything from water to tea or coffee.
Forget any and all of your local history because Peoples Park only serves as a forceful reminder of Berkeleys failures. Aside from the screaming crack zombies, you might sometimes be approached by old wizards who want to lecture you about the dangers of capitalism for some unknown reason. Place has been completely destroyed of all its natural beauty.
Not the most beautiful park but one with great history a B ball court and some interesting folks.
Green Space, Not Dorm Space. We must unite by pushing against the Economic Model ruling the Social Model. Human Rights, Not Profiteering.
Clean ish public restroom open to public. 3 half court basketball hoops with nets and a nice picnic area for engaging with locals and friends.
Other than the university trying guerilla tactics to get rid of the park to build more housing for students, its an interesting park. DO NOT USE THE RESTROOMS THERE! (Go to Peets Coffee or Moes Books instead, trust me) Definitely some....interesting....individuals in that area, but ive never had a horrible experience. Probably would be a lot more kid/family friendly if they hadnt removed the playground.
I am very worried about my safety when I walked by there. I was so shocked why the city government didnt arrange here a little bit better. Trees and grasses looks so terrible and no one managed this park. The public washroom looks like a Suthērcouver.
Very cool history about this park, unfortunately its very dirty and run down now. Not a place to bring young kids or be by yourself at. Alot of homeless people living there now.
Peoples Park is a precious green space. I play live acoustic music at Peoples Park whenever I get a chance, guitar songs, jazz, funk, folk, rock, samba, bossa nova, percussion... I have old friends there and did community gardening there for five years, growing 13 foot tall corn and green beans, and all kinds of stuff. The trees and plants there are good old friends too. Ive heard lots of great bands on the Free Speech Stage, summer concerts, the Berkeley World Music series, drum jams, dancing. Its very interesting, Ive learned a lot there, talking to people, about history, people, culture, plants, gardening.
Due to the threat of crime/violence, you are strongly advised to avoid this park. The University will be bulldozing this park in the next year or so and building housing. Thank God. This should have been done 15 years ago.
This place is AWESOME! So many fantastic, outgoing people loving life and showing it! Great way to spend a sunny afternoon!
Great outdoor basketball court and general community meeting space frequently fouled by people of ill temper and modest means, still has that refuge of last resort feel to it on some days. Take no offense and give no offense and you will have a rewarding experience. You can even mind your own business (seems hard at first but Ive seen people do it.). BYOBasketball on most days unless there is one in the tree. Free meals on weekends provided by various. Good concerts. Dogma more problematic than actual dogs. Beware of imminent eminence. (The education boutique needs beds for the bourgeoning intelligensia.) Get your snapshots and hookshots before the edifice shows up. Berkeley still claims it is afraid of draft-dodging mobs lured by peanut butter sandwiches, poetry, and promotional police actions. In the event that the park is destroyed to build edifice, please meet at the park. :)
I loved all the bum stuff and the tents its like a small community. Keep up the good work students! #TeamOccupyPeoplesPark
Only giving it one star because zero is not an option. The peoples park of today is not the same as the one of the civil rights movement. As a U.C. Berkeley student, I have to listen to the sounds of peoples park day and night from my dorm window. Usually its the typical fighting crackheads, but on Sundays they usually have God awful amateur concerts that can be heard throughout the student housing. Just two days ago I heard a man be shot dead in the middle of the afternoon. The sad fact of the matter is that the park now serves as a pit stop for organized crime; a cover for both human trafficking as well as drug trafficking. I hope that Carol Christ tears the park down and builds new student housing, Id hate for another generation of Berkeley students to suffer at the hands of this public space.
This park is far from a safe place. I saw a lot of trash and even discarded needles around the park. Would not ever walk through it. Not a good place to take your kids or have a picnic lunch. Stay away.
Lets keep peoples park for the people! Dont be fooled by the schools proganda. There is intense community engagement.
A dangerous park full of homeless.
Screw all the homeless bashing. Peoples Park is complex in its nature,from its abrupt and violent birth in the 60s...people died.bringing it up, to its troubled,poignant history as a druggy mecca...which is both true and exagerated.Its you house mice callous and fascist attitude that all us houseless bums(dare you to call me that to my face) are the cancer of society...I digress...Peoples Park is a necessary stop that all can find some worth out of.
When I was down and out I went here and although it has wild experiences it has people there that made get well again.
A great space and part of Berkeleys story, student accommodation not sure? A refuge and a place of reflection for Berkeley siders, keep Peoples Park as it is, a moving story and inportant history that should be preserved and improved.
Its nice to walk by in the day but it hasnt been maintained too well and at night its home to many homeless people. Its best to avoid it and not walk alone, as theres been a series of muggings nearby.
Was looking for a place to chill and smoke a join. Lots of homeless kids, pretty much everywhere. Heroine zombie looking for cigarette butts. Not the best place to chill and smoke, or chill at all really. Sad.
Dirty. Its a homeless park filled with tents. God bless them.
If your homeless come here or need help come here other than that it a park filled with homeless people.
When there are signs saying Drug Free Zone in a state where every form of drugs is still illegal you know what is going on here. Steer clear unless you are into homeless people, the smell of piss, tent camps and used syringes.
We donated clothes and blankets
Absolutely unnecessary for this park to exist. Its like a permanently vacant lot with junkies everywhere. Almost everybody stays away from here, so why not turn it into desperately needed student housing?
This place is so sad there is no way in humane society that people ought to be allowed to be living here by that much proclivity and population per capita without the local government saying something to its citizenry, WTH?
Disgusting mess full of homeless people and a very sketchy place to be around. Avoid at all costs. The city should be ashamed of itself for letting such a place exist within its borders. Unacceptable
Many rats lurk in the ivy. Still it stands as a place to sleep for bravely desperate... many good people & some others. Join JC to serve free breakfast 6a Sunday & meet the locals.
Lots of homeless people living here along with lots of crime. Litter, trash and over grown weeds everywhere. Stay away unless you want to be accosted for a handout.
Ahhh the peoples park. Crossroads of the clash between so many forces and dreams. Where the capitalist corporate UC system confronts the idealism of 60s Berkeley counterculture. Food not bombs and riot police dance a tango fraught with the ironic question.....how do we best serve the people
A diamond in UC Berkeleys crown, and so a must-visit for parents considering sending their children to the educational paradise of Berkeley, California. (Visiting Peoples Park is *very* educational.) Free needles are available at all hours. Just walk around a bit, and youll find one jammed into your foot. (If youre bleeding too much as a result, youll find that the closest hospital is a short limp away, at Ashby, though try not injure yourself on Friday or Saturday night, as the ER is overcome with a mysterious rash of alcohol poisonings every week during the school year.) The residents of the park helpfully flow out onto all the nearby sidewalks, so that just by walking by you can converse with the locals and learn a bit about the Berkeley experience. Be sure to bring spare change or your running shoes. These canny entrepreneurs will also be happy to offer you a number of medicinal and pharmaceutical products at all hours of the day, even when the rest of the city sleeps. Finally, a great place to rest for a few hours under the shady trees, but your must follow the local protocol of either having one to two sentries at all times or else a very angry dog.
Lovely park with lovely people. Random stranger offered me a blunt.
Still as awful as ever, peoples park only gets to exist because people have weird nostalgia about it. No other park would be so unchanged with the regular muggings, thefts, and other crime taking place there. Avoid at night if you can.
I have always loved this old park.Sad it is always under attack and it is purposely kept decrepit by the University to justify building on it.Guess everyone will use Williard Park should the unelected have their way.
Very sketchy park.
I hear from people there that this great park will be gone soon despite the fight to keep it. Sad. Truly a welcome place filled with the kindness of strangers.
My godfather started this park(: it was always my favorite park as a kid.
Best park in the bay area
A must see experience of the reality of the Culture. Simply observe and relax. #R76
Nice playground.. Picnic tables.. No ridiculous signs saying you have to leave at sundown or get threatened with arrest.. Go say hi to the friendly people that hang out there :)
The park has a beautiful history and a real community thriving there. Dont be afraid, homeless people arent out to get you.
I love peoples park
Greatest park in Berkeley...I love Blowing Monster Bubbles for Everyone to Enjoy....PEACE
Its filthy and filled with homeless camps. It always has been a homeless encampment. Since the eighties its been a place to buy drugs and refuge for the homeless
Wonderful park full of amazing people. Better not be ruined with a parking lot or condos.a
The only piece of land taken back by the people.the history of peoples park and what happened in berkeley is extremeley profound if you are uneducated about it check out a movie berkeley in the 60s.but so much history throughout its birth has happened .berkeley in the 90s.and berkeley now.peoples park is what happens when imminent domain takes peoples homes.the people take back the land that was stolen from them and not being used so they could make a park.then the nationall guard took the park and all the schools of berkeley were surounded and gassed.you walk by and see smelly person or rat or whatever but you dont have a clue.
Loved it. Old naked people walking around and playing music. It was interesting to learn the history of the place. Thanks Matt, Jake and I had a great time.
I love peoples park i ride by when I am on Berkeley I stop and take a break right there and wonder how can I help my people going thru the struggles
Nice park. Lots of homeless people but they are quiet and peaceful.
Little chunk of the post apocalyptic hell scape in an otherwise idyllic setting. Like a hippy mad max outpost. Its easy to avoid and worth avoiding.
It is a historic place at Berkeley. But this place has lots of bad reputation. You always found homeless people here. Dont like this place
Peoples park is a facet in this community, and a historical place of unity, and the power of what that unity can overcome. Save Peoples Park!
First time i have overheard a really good conversation in a long time. They better not try to build on this land. Peoples park forever!
This park has three basketball hoops. Two are NCAA measurements. 1 is official NBA size.
I cant believe they have such a disgusting place right next to a university. Students and residence are not safe around this smelly, drug infested park.
Filled to the brim with homeless and they are not the friendliest crowd. Its best to avoid the entire parameters if this park
Park is chill most the people are chill and you sometimes get to see some interesting stuff.
Worst park I have ever been too!! Its so dirty and it looks so sad and dead. Im in shock that this park is right down the street from the university!
FLEAS FLEAS FLEAS!!!!DO NOT BRING YOUR PETS HERE. MY DOG WAS LITERALLY BEING EATEN ALIVE.HER TUMMY WAS BLACKENED BY HOW MANY. I PULLED LAYERS OF THEM OFF WITH MY HAND. NO JOKE
It is becoming a tent city type of area, not a place where you would bring children.
Cause of my child hood park and then finding out the rich Afro-American history there. The vanguard of the revolution.
Peoples park is beautiful and has a lot of history. And is the only green space thats worth fighting for
The history behind it is cool, Jim Hendrix having played there for free, and all. But its transients everywhere and kinda sketchy.
Its peoples park it will always be I was harassed by the police for smoking but other than that it was a pleasant day
Peoples Park is a Sanctuary for everyone.
A historic park, great place. ucb is destroying it for profit tho
I couldnt find my usual Lucy plug so I swung by here. Nobody around. Bummer.
I had so much fun that hippies are so cool I smoke some of the best weed for the best price
Avoid at all costs. Filled with homeless people, trash, and lots of crime.
An open space to have a sun tan. Evenings are not a good time to go past the area.
Great place to get a vegetarian meal if youre hungry at 3:30 in the afternoon
One of the last banions of hope and preserverance through civil disobedience and direct action
Would be better if there were more trees. And places to relax and enjoy the locals.
Its a block from my house not using a good place to go smoke a blunt and up under a tree
Many homeless people there. Its not a nice location with kids.
Significant safety concerns
Lovely park. Just to many and addict, and infiltrated by crime
Really cool place to kick it and get bearings when traveling through the west coast.
Good place to play chessMany chess players
You can play basketball on the courts next to it. Otherwise a walk-by is all you really need to experience it.
Good place to smoke since public option is low here.
Not much to look at today, but the place is key to the history of the late 60s, to the rise of Reagan and the betrayal of the young. Walk by it, and then study it online.
Nice park. A homeless haven.
Have no idea about the current state of this park now.... This park was full of hippies in my Berkeley years.....
Berkeley Landmark Historical place history of our struggle
Lots of homeless who overflow into the sidewalks, making it hard to get by. Otherwise, just a bland park.
Great place to chill. No overnight camping though
Tip for students. Please avoid the park, especially midnight. Its not safe.
Great park if youre homeless.
Peoples park is known as a hangout spot for homeless and isnt very clean or nice
Remember that the element is there but the history of the park deserves its due
Great bud red took care of us n thru in some shrooms
Just picked up a brother that needed help.
Too many tents. Lots for people in need.
Weird homeless people lol :/
Inaccessible due to the massive homeless encampment.
Drugs and crime and punishment and mostly mental health clients, not a place for children or the average, law abiding folk
A special place with an amazing and inspiring history - I hope it never gets developed
Lots of memories.
Good place to just sit in the sun on a nice day
You dont want to go here. Its the smell and the drugs and you are definitely not safe here, ever.
The park looks like its abandoned, dirty, scratched, filthy toilets
Dirty, many homeless (some aggressive), steer clear (esp. if alone)
Great place to pick up some mushrooms
Needs improvement but is always a good place to chill between classes
Run down from its heyday. It is still a blast to the past! Lots of history.
Lots of tweakers and junkies in the encampments
STANDS FOR ✌😂 POTHEADS MORE THAN WELCOME FREE SPRITED PEOPLE W
Great place to kick it at meet the people
My go-to place to pick up used hypodermic needles
Nice little green escape right near Telegraph
Because it may have its problems (you all know what i mean) it has history
They treat white people great here.
This park is bad. Stay away.
Great place to smoke weed:))
Love it
It still has a history that is rooted in civil rights but it is only a shell of what it was
Great Place to enjoy the Sun and relax.
Brings back memories of a different kind.
Historical hippie park which is still at the heart of Berkeley
Dirty place, more for the homeless people....
Lot of homeless people in the night. be cautious
I Am ONE OF those people who helped fight for PEOPLES PARK
Great place to just hang out.
Should be able to make some 💰
Interesting park for the homeless
Grim park. You are definitely not safe here, ever.
I love homeless people
Great place to get stabbed
Another beautiful day in Peoples Park!
Power to the people, UC Berkley out!
Nice place
Definitely not a family friendly park
Something with so much history should not be destroyed.
Drugs everywhere homeless camps dangerous park
A good place to take a nap on the grass
Lots of culture
Save Peoples Park!
Bathrooms are in terrible condition all the time
The police is cleaning out the park
Power to da people!
Awesome Park with deep roots.
Super The Digital Underground Plays their
Bring body armor and good insurance.
Still as scary and dingy as I remember it.
STAY AWAY.Most dangerous place in Berkeley
Dirty Kid hangout, Homelessness is not a trend
Full of homeless people. Filthy,smelly
Lots of homeless at this park.
Nice green add space

2022-06-06I rate this place a 3. 5 stars for the people trying the best they can to live here. 1 star for the government of Berkeley in terms of supporting them. The city government should do better by these people!

2022-03-17We (Bồ Đề Tâm group) went there to do a homeless event. There are a lot of homeless here. People are nice here. We often see other groups of volunteers coming out to also give things, cleanup the space,...help out however they can. We all know this isnt solving all the deepest roots causing homeless problems, but we do what we can at the moment...The homeless people are also nice. Often people only take what they need. Many of them have some sort of mental illness and of course there are so many other reasons why they ended up there...I saw people singing, playing music, playing chest...They appreciate when we give them stuffs. Some even come and chat, give jokes, or share about their stories/ mistakes ...When we do our event, we usually brought hot lunches (rice with meat and vegetarian spaghetti, hard boiled eggs, cookies). We brought 60 bags of dry food ( cracker, cup of noodle, water, banana, tangerines, ...) And 60 bags of hygiene items ( toilet paper, toothpaste, tooth brush, hand sanitizers, masks, socks,...) We brought some gently used clothes (jackets, pants, shirts).We usually do a few homeless events per year, and depending on the season we try to bring helpful items. Like we bring small individual apple pies for Thanksgiving. In the winter, we try to get socks, hats, blankets , sleeping bags, and tarps or even cough drops...Tarps and Sleeping bags are popular. Especially sleeping bags since they are a bit pricey. We arent always able to get enough for everyone. Its sad to see people fighting over it sometimes...

2022-03-08It used to be a symbol for a movement that promoted the individual rights of a society to freely assemble, practice free speech, and to preserve nature against greedy corporate expansion. Little by little the University picked away at it, cutting down trees, neglecting the bathrooms and park features until people became disinterested in preserving it.

2022-05-17I used to come here as a young adult and hang out with my friends. There were only a few homeless people that lived there back then, and they were mostly friendly.Now I dont feel safe even walking by it. Its just a homeless encampment now and violent crimes being committed there almost daily.

2022-03-19Dont let these idiots, tear down a historical national monument. I remember when I was way younger when I first came to Berkeley and was umm what youd call bohemian. In search of myself well I lived frugally with what I could carry on my back. Anyways I used to try to sleep in peoples park per what Ive heard of it my dads accounts of it in the 70s and well the name, duh. Well on all attempts I was awoken very rudely by campus police and told to get up and go sleep on sidewalk after being searched and name ran and hassled and belittled.So years later there are people living there which Is awesome I just went up there abd helped patch the freespeech stage with a great friend the clevinger and a new friend. Anyways they are fixing to tear down peoples park and build more dorms for a school with more than enough dorms an outrage DO NOT LET THIS TAKE PLACE THIS IS A SACRED HISTORICAL PLACE with huge REDWOODS that will be taken down. This horrific tragedy cannot take place. 😢
