The Berkeley Marina is the westernmost portion of the city of Berkeley, California, west of the Eastshore Freeway (Interstate 80 and 580) at the foot of University Avenue on San Francisco Bay. Narrowly speaking, "Berkeley Marina" refers only to the city marina, constructed as the Berkeley Yacht Harbor in the late 1930s, but in common usage it applies to the entire landfill peninsula. The easternmost portion, running parallel to I-80/580, is now a part of the Eastshore State Park komoot.de/highlight/212113

Originally part of the open waters of San Francisco Bay, the shoreline ran a few yards west of the Southern Pacific (now Union Pacific) rail tracks on 3rd Street. The area was gradually filled in. In 1909 the City built a municipal wharf at the foot of University Avenue which was used primarily for freight. Starting in 1926 the Golden Gate Ferry Company began construction of the Berkeley Pier from the foot of University Avenue about 3.5 miles (5.6 km) to reach deeper waters of the Bay for auto ferry service to Hyde Street Pier in San Francisco, shared with the Sausalito ferry. Ferry service ended in 1937, after the 1936 opening of the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge. Thereafter it became a fishing pier.

Since about the late 1920s the city municipal dump was located here, and the accumulated garbage and construction debris accounts for most of the dry land of the Berkeley Marina. In the early 1990s much of the former dump was landscaped and converted into "North Waterfront Park", renamed Cesar Chavez Park in 1996 to commemorate the late California labor leader. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Marina
