Billy Goat Hill

Billy Goat Hill is almost completely open, with an easterly view from about 500 feet. The view includes a vantage which looks almost straight down the line of the Bay Bridge and over downtown.

Although the park is mostly steep slope, there is a small flat field at the high point. Also, there is a central sitting spot on an outcrop of rocks that could hardly be more picturesque; the 'throne' sits next to a single massive eucalyptus tree which stands isolated at this natural apex in the slope. This is a special convergence of gorgeous natural features.

An opportune 30-foot rope swing has existed intermittently here.

There aren't any facilities at this park and does not accommodate dogs well.
