Tilden Regional Park
About
Tilden Regional Park is a park managed by the East Bay Regional Park District in California, about 2 miles from the town of Kensington. The weather is mild year-round, and snow essentially never falls. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Berkeley show highs in the low to mid 70s from June through September, with almost no wet days. Winter brings highs near 59°F and about 11 wet days a month in December and January. The station sits at about 310 feet, so temperatures on higher ground in the park may run cooler. Several routes start close by. The Quarry Trail and Seaview Trail are both mountain biking routes within a quarter mile. The Curran Trail is a hike about 0.3 miles away. For climbers, Remillard Park is roughly 0.8 miles off.
