Look all the way around while you’re there; Pinole Point is uncommonly peaceful and remote while being in the center of a lot of North Bay landmarks.
None of the scenery at Point Pinole Park really shows the threat of the Hayward fault. But just south of the park is the Parchester Village neighborhood, a cookie-cutter of 1950-vintage suburbia planted right on the fault. There, just as clearly as in downtown Hayward, you can see the classic signs of aseismic creep slowly tearing apart the homes, lots and pavement.
