In Tilden Park there are great hiking trails (Ruca recommends the 'Bay Area Ridge'), a botanical garden, a golf course, swimming at Lake Anza Beach, a 100 year old merry-go-round, a steam train, and a petting farm.
In downtown Berkeley there's also lots of great stuff to do....
A couple great microbreweries: Jupiter or Triple Rock.
Shoot some pool with the locals: Thalassa.
Head over to the 'gourmet ghetto' for many excellent restaurants, including Cheeseboard, Alice Water's Chez Pannisse, or Gregoire.
Check out the UC Berkeley Campus on your way over to Telegraph Ave for a different shopping experience.
On Sunday, Bart over to 'Ashby Station' (Wyatt's old stomping grounds) for the best Thai food ever at the Thai Temple. Then on your way back to Bart, go join that drum circle you heard at the Ashby Flea Market.
...and of course both San Francisco and Oakland are only quick bart rides away.
Watch the Oakland A's beat the Yankees on 7/19, 7/20, or 7/22... or watch the Giants beat the Padres on 7/23, 7/24, or 7/25.
Check SF Gate event calendar for more ideas.
