It's a grove of pine trees with some picnic tabled underneath. If you hike a little further up the hill you come to Wildcat Peak which offers one of the best 360 degree views of the Bay Area. I'm guessing it's about a 15 minute walk from Inspiration Point along the Nimitz paved bike/walking trail.

A nice stone roundabout on top of a low peak gives excellent 360 views of the parklands around Berkeley, the inner bay and the north bay. Below the overlook is the Rotary Peace Grove. A redwood tree is planted each year and dedicated to a notable person who has worked to promote peace. As the first reviewer notes, you can reach this by several different trails. The easiest is Nimitz Way, a paved multi-use trail that starts at Inspiration Point (on Wildcat Canyon Rd) and goes to an old Nike Missile base. The turn-off to the Peace Grove is a couple of miles in. Enjoy!

A great hike ... several trails lead to the Peace Grove, including Nitmitz Way from Inspiration Point, or for the more adventurous, take either Laurel Canyon train or Peak Trail from Loop Road in the Nature Area. Pack a lunch and enjoy the adventure!
