Small park adjacent to the busy Fruitvale Bridge and across the street from the Owens-Illinois Glass Factory. The Miller-Sweeney Bridge was opened on December 12, 1973, built by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers. It is next to the Fruitvale Railroad Bridge. It is one of three vehicle bridges between Oakland and Alameda.
Bridge traffic hasn't stopped the park from becoming a homeless encampment several times. Sausal Creek (underground at this point) drains into the estuary. localwiki.org/oakland/Fruitvale_Bridge_Park

Running
Small park on the mainland side of the bridge, good place to observe when the unique bridge is lifted to let boats pass.
