Memorial Park (Hayward, California) Explained

Memorial Park, in Hayward, California, is a public park managed by the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District. The park contains an indoor swim center, the Hayward Plunge, which opened in 1936.[1] The park is the access point to the Greenbelt Trails, which follow Ward Creek Canyon adjacent to California State University, East Bay. The park has a small bandstand with musical events offered on major holidays. It borders on Mount Saint Joseph Cemetery (also known as All Saints or Portuguese Cemetery) which was first established in 1875.[2] It is operated by the All Saints Catholic Church in Hayward.[3] Many of the historic gravestone inscriptions are in Portuguese.[4]
