15 Best Things To Do in Hayward, California

About Hayward

Want to experience the Bay Area without spending an exorbitant amount of money in California? Hayward is your place. On the one side, there’s East Bay for people who love water activities, while on the other, the city has panoramic views of the Hayward Hills for hiking enthusiasts.

The Garin Regional Park has been around for a century, offering a beautiful sight of grassy hills - something out of a movie, to say the least. The 500-meter tall hills give a wide view of the area, while the apple festival, which takes place in fall, is reminiscent of the orchard that was here many decades ago.

Locals enjoy the live bands and tasting sessions with fresh apple harvests every year while overlooking the beautiful Bay Area.
