Alameda Walks - July 25, 2026

Lace up your walking shoes, gather your family, friends and neighbors and join us on an hour-long walk on designated Saturday mornings of each month, May through October!  Rain or Shine!

Whether you are new to Alameda or lived here for decades, this is a great way to begin a Saturday morning exploring our neighborhoods and discovering new areas of Alameda.  Pre-registration is not necessary for Alameda Walks.

All walks begin at 9:00 a.m. and last approximately one hour.  Where walks are longer, it will be noted and new walks are indicated.  Look for the red Alameda Walks hats!  While we love furry pets, we prefer that they wait for you at home.  

SATURDAY, JULY 25, 2026 - OLD TOWN OF ALAMEDA WALK
Meet at the Fountain on High Street and Encinal Avenue, across from Encinal Market, 3211 Encinal Avenue, Suite C. Alameda

This walk will explore the oldest of the three towns that people called home on the Alameda peninsula (the others were Encinal and Woodstock Landing).  Let's go back to 1852 and learn how William Worthington Chipman and Gideon Aughinbaugh started the town.  We'll stroll up High Street to the surprising location of the old wharf.  Dennis Evanosky will explain why the founders called their town Alameda and share some curious details about many of the street names.  Dennis Evanosky will lead this walk.

NOTE:  WALK LASTS 1 HOUR, 15 MINUTES
