此次项目是将海湾小径的一次延伸，这个小径是 500英里的自行车和步行网络路径的一部分。这一环节的起始点在阿拉米达轮渡站，然后经过一个工业走廊，沿着海湾和快艇公司的方向延伸下去。
景观设计起始于轮渡码头的一个广场，以这里为切入点，利用废旧的轮船等码头设施作为主要景观元素，从而反映场地的功能和历史特点。
广场中央还嵌入了一个螺旋桨推进器作为焦点。焦点旁的I型钢被重新抛光并喷上了鲜红色用作广场的休息和观赏区域。在广场的角落还放置了一个带有铁链的船锚，用来标明海岸线，一对拱形吊柱被当作海湾小径的入口。
小径沿途的植物是以新西兰麻属为主的单一种类，沿着天然的草坪形成直线型从而突出了广场的几何架构。这种较低的植被可以让海景一览无余，并且符合了该地区的工业特色。

This project serves as an extension of the Bay Trail, part of what will be a 500-mile network of bicycle and walking trails connecting 47 cities throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. This section begins at the Alameda Ferry station and continues through an industrial corridor, along the property of the Bay Ship and Yacht Company.
A plaza was created near the ferry terminal to serve as an entry point for this section of the Bay Trail, oriented at an angle to provide views of the Oakland estuary and the San Francisco Bay. Relics from the shipping industry were collected from the ship yard and have been re-purposed as key elements in the landscape, reflecting the industrial history of the site.
A propeller found on-site was embedded in the concrete, serving as a focal point of the plaza. I-beams were refinished and painted bright red and now function as seating in the center of the plaza, providing views of the bay. An anchor sites at the corner of the plaza, with its attached chain acting as a border at the shoreline. A pair of davits arches over the entrance, serving as a gateway to the new extension of the trail.
Planting along the trail was kept simple, Phormium spp. along with native grasses, set in linear patterns that reinforce the geometry of the plaza. This low planting allows views of the water to be maintained and is in keeping with the industrial nature of the site.
