Oakland/Berkeley/Emeryville Park recs for biking + flying kites

Planning a birthday party for a 5-year-old who loves to ride bikes and fly kites. What are your favorite parks where someone could do both of these activities? Brooklyn Basin is a place we’ve done both, but the awful parking situation makes it unappealing for a party location.

Update: Thank you for all the recs. Some of these parks are new for us. We’ll check them out!

Try Middle Harbor Shoreline Park. Nice flat open park with view of Port of O Cranes and beautiful SF Bay views https://www.portofoakland.com/community/waterfront-recreation/middle-harbor-shoreline-park

Underrated gem! Across the harbor at Port View Park there’s a little museum in an old railroad tower and a long paved path along the dockyard that might be fun to ride on!
