Small park established on the corner of the old Franklin School site (now the Berkeley Adult School). With decreasing enrollment in the Berkeley Schools, portions of properties are being repurposed for parks and housing. The edge of the park is particularly attractive, being planted with native shrubs and perennials.
Note: Although the park is named for Schoolhouse Creek, the actual creek runs underground about a half-a-block away.
