From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shoreline Park is a park in Mountain View, California, USA. It was originally a landfill for San Francisco garbage. After the landfill closed, it was turned into a city park, with a golf course and an artificial lake. On the lake's eastern shore is located the Shoreline Aquatic Center, which offers sailboat, sailboard, kayak, and pedalboat rentals, as well as sailing, windsurfing, and kayaking classes. The adjacent Shoreline Cafe is open daily and offers a variety of food to lakegoers. A video on the history of the park is available at the Mountain View public library.
Through the developed park, one reaches a wildlife refuge at the edge of the bay, where many birds can be seen at almost any time. Here are some pictures taken (on a two hour walk) there with a 210 mm. focal length lens and 35 mm. film.
