The Brazilian Room is located in the southeastern end of Tilden Regional
Park, near the Tilden Golf Course and the Tilden Botanical Gardens.
One of the District's three oldest parks, Tilden has been called the
jewel of the system, and its recreational activities have become a happy
tradition for generations of East Bay youngsters. From a pony ride to
a carousel ride, from a picnic and swim at Lake Anza to a stroll through
the Botanic Garden, Tilden has variety to delight everyone. Yet there
are plenty of quiet places in Tilden's 2,077 acres to shelter the wildlife
and preserve natural beauty. Tilden was named for Charles Lee Tilden,
first president of the Park District Board of Directors. The park is reached
via Canon Drive, Shasta Road, or South Park Drive, all off Grizzly Peak
Boulevard in Berkeley.
Please note that South Park Drive is closed from November thru March.
