Have a picnic in the Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area

Review & FAQ:

One of eight SVRAs administered by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, the Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area can be found in eastern Alameda. The area was originally the sign of the Carnegie Brick and Pottery Company which was established in 1902 and slowly formed a community around it which included a hotel, a saloon, a bakery, a school, two bunkhouses, and seventeen homes. Though it was short lived, you can still see what’s left of the historic brick company, ride on one of their many tracks, rest in the day use area, or even go camping overnight.
