A Berkeley Day Trip from San Carlos for Edwards Stadium

From San Carlos Inn, San Carlos station is about an 11-minute walk or a 2-minute drive. From there, plan your route to Berkeley around the event schedule and current transit information.

Caltrain includes San Carlos station among its northbound stops, while BART service hours vary by day of the week. For local transportation before you leave, read getting around San Carlos without a car.

For a car trip, factor in campus parking constraints before leaving. UC Berkeley advises visitors to check event-specific parking arrangements, notes that parking is generally limited, and recommends arriving well in advance. On home football game days, parking can be extremely limited and expensive.

If you are arranging a San Carlos stay, San Carlos Inn's room options are listed online. For your trip, check the official site before you go: UC Berkeley's visitor and parking information can help you confirm current access arrangements.

Edwards Stadium is a one-floor UC Berkeley building, and its accessible entrance is on the south side of the field. The campus parking map labels it as Goldman Field, so that name may help when you consult the map.

The Koret Visitor Center is at 2207 Piedmont Avenue, inside the gates of California Memorial Stadium. It is a separate campus reference point, not a stated distance from Edwards Stadium. From Downtown Berkeley BART station, the visitor center is a 25–30 minute walk.

Check event-specific information before you plan a visit to Edwards Stadium, especially if you expect to drive. Confirm parking arrangements for campus events and plan to arrive well in advance because parking is generally limited.

Parking conditions can be particularly difficult on home football game days, when spaces are extremely limited and can be expensive. The Stadium Parking Garage at 2175 Gayley Road, also identified as 2175 Piedmont Avenue, is adjacent to California Memorial Stadium. This privately operated garage charges by the hour at all times.

Metered street parking in Berkeley is limited to two hours and can be difficult to find. There is no free parking in Berkeley, so do not build a plan around finding a free space.

A workable plan depends on the event and the route you choose, so use this sequence rather than assuming a fixed itinerary:

1. Before leaving San Carlos, confirm event access and parking arrangements. If using transit, check the operators’ current schedules and service hours. If you are flying into the area, how to travel from SFO to San Carlos covers airport transfer options.
2. On arrival in Berkeley, use the campus map to locate Edwards Stadium, also labeled Goldman Field on the campus parking map.
3. At the stadium, use the accessible entrance on the south side of the field if that is the entrance you need. Event-day facilities may vary.

This order keeps the event and access checks ahead of the trip, while leaving the arrival time and route to your chosen event and current transport information.
