Bedwell Bayfront Park is located between some old
salt ponds on the San Francisco Bay. This park is a former landfill that has been reclaimed as parkland. There are many hills and trails through the park.
One can take a walking trail up this hilltop and find a very tall tower of weather instruments. The tower has four guy-wires for support. From the ground, one can see three-cupped anemometers to measure the wind strength blowing from the bay.
