Document Description
The Keller Beach Access Improvements Project consists of constructing public access improvements and amenities at the Keller Beach portion of Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline, Contra Costa County. Specifically, the project addresses the deteriorating state of existing facilities and provides safe beach access for all visitors by creating a new accessible path from the terraced amenities area to the beach; replacing or upgrading existing grills, picnic tables, benches, restrooms, outdoor shower, water fountain, interpretive panels, retaining walls, and seat-walls; and installing a non-slip wheelchair mat. All facilities constructed through this project are designed for universal accessibility.

Other Location Info
The approximately 1.3-acre Keller Beach project site is located in an existing urban park, Miller Knox Regional Shoreline, a 19-acre park managed and owned by the East Bay Regional Park District that sits at the edge of the San Francisco Bay in the City of Richmond. The project area is bounded by San Francisco Bay to the west, transportation and commercial retail to the north, and parkland to the east and south. The shoreline park contains a variety of recreation, scenic, natural, and cultural resources, including a 1.1-mile stretch of Bay shoreline, segments of the San Francisco Bay Trail, a kayak launch that is a trailhead for the San Francisco Bay Area Water Trail, picnic areas and turf play areas, two publicly accessible beaches (Ferry Point Beach at the south end and Keller Beach at the north end of the park), and trails that lead visitors to the recreation features throughout the Park. Many of these facilities are old, outdated, and not fully accessible for people with disabilities. Parking at the Keller Beach site is available along Dornan Drive.
