What is the name of the cool park with art installations near Berkeley, CA?

My memory is crap. Someone (I wish I could remember who) mentioned this park on a thread earlier this year. I can’t even remember what thread it was.

All I remember is that I wanted to go check the place out because it sounded so interesting and cool. I think it’s on the Bay, like on a piece of land jutting off the coast?, maybe off/near 580, and I seem to remember something related to art.. like either people put their own art installations there or it was maintained by arty people.

Does anyone know what I’m talking about? I’d like to go check it out. Thanks. :)

It sounds like the Live Oak Park Fair

There’s an Asia Art Now gallery near Emeryville (just south of Berk), just before you get to Marina Park.

Are you thinking of the Albany Bulb? http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albany_Bulb

@Brian1946 – Thanks for searching! We’re getting closer…

It’s a park, like outside with walking paths, trees, and I seem to remember some sculptures. I’m scouring my old posts to find it, this is driving me nuts. I think the person who suggested it, in whatever thread it was, was @deni, but I can’t find the post on her profile, either. :P
