VIEW THE ONLY EXHIBIT SHOWING THE ACTUAL MOVEMENT ALONG THE HAYWARD FAULT


Educational Grant from Alameda County District 1, David Haubert

Visit the only exhibit in the country that shows you the power of Hayward Fault as it slowly moves.   Over the last million years, the natural beauty of Fremont has been shaped by the Hayward Fault.  The building will be open and Staff from the Math Science Nucleus will be present to answer questions. This fault is one of several active faults in the world actually creeping at 5 mm/year. The exhibit  is at the Community Center in Central Park (Lake Elizabeth) and explores dramatic faulting effects in both natural and urban environments. View the floor of a building that reveals dramatic evidence of this fault activity. Then take a self guided walk through Central Park and find fault features throughout the park.  K-6 children can look for features and return to select a prize.


The exhibit is at the Fremont Community Center (back of the building facing Lake Elizabeth) (40204 Paseo Padre Pkwy - cross street Mission View), located in the heart of Central Park.  You can walk to it from the Fremont BART Station  (about 1/3 mile).
