Hayward

The landscape around Hayward is a Mediterranean-climate bay plain rising toward the East Bay hills, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. On the eastern side of San Francisco Bay, the city developed as a transport and commercial centre between Oakland and San Jose. The active Hayward Fault runs through the community, while the hills above town are home to California State University, East Bay. Downtown includes the Hayward Japanese Gardens, designed by landscape architect Ken Nakajima and maintained as a public park.
