Radke Martinez Regional Shoreline, Nature reserve at Martinez shoreline, California.
Radke Martinez Regional Shoreline is a nature reserve along the Martinez waterfront at the Carquinez Strait. The reserve includes wetland areas, walking paths, sports facilities, and expansive views across the San Francisco Bay.
The land was officially renamed in 2016 to honor Ted Radke, who served on the Park District Board between 1978 and 2014. This change recognized his contributions to the development and management of the regional park.
The eastern section features bocce ball courts, reflecting the influence of Italian immigrants who settled in Martinez during the early 20th century. This sport remains a regular part of community gatherings and brings players of different generations together.
The reserve offers several miles of walking trails with picnic areas and grills, along with sports facilities for visitor use. Dogs are not permitted in wetland areas but are welcome on other trails.
The remains of the schooner Forester, which sank in 1900, can be seen in the mud flats near the waterline during low tide. This sunken wreck offers a tangible connection to the area's maritime past.
