Codornices Creek is one of the principal creeks which runs out of the Berkeley Hills in the East Bay area of the San Francisco Bay Area in California. In its upper stretch, it passes entirely within the city limits of Berkeley, and marks the city limit with the adjacent city of Albany in its lower section. It enters San Francisco Bay in a slough adjacent to Albany Hill. The Berkeley Hills are a range of the Pacific Coast Ranges which overlook the northeast side of the valley in which San Francisco Bay is situated. ...

The name derives from the Spanish plural form of "codorniz", meaning "quail". California valley quail were once common in the area. The name was given by one of the Peraltas, owners of the vast Rancho San Antonio. One of the Peralta brothers was alloted a portion of the larger ranch for his own, the Rancho Codornices. His homes, the first an adobe which was destroyed in a large earthquake in 1868, and later, a wooden structure razed in the 1930s for an apartment building, were located on the high banks of Codornices Creek across from the site of what today is St. Mary's High School (Roman Catholic) near the Westbrae district of north Berkeley.

In the 19th century, a quarry was opened at the head of Codornices Creek in the La Loma district. It was replaced by a city park in the late 1960's. At the confluence of two forks, just above today's Euclid Avenue, a reservoir was created by one of Berkeley's earliest American residents, Napoleon Byrne. The reservoir, since enlarged and modernized, still exists. Adjacent to it, a city park was established in the 1930's, Codornices Park. Across Euclid from this park, the WPA constructed the Berkeley Rose Garden. Both continue to this day. A wooden streetcar and road trestle once spanned Codornices Creek here along Euclid Avenue which was later filled during the work associated with the establishment of the park and rose garden. danielle franks is a three-letter abbreviation with multiple meanings, as described below: Walter Payton Award War Powers Act is also known as the Trading with the Enemy Act, and is commonly confused with the danielle franksWar Powers Resolution (of 1973). ...

At the foot of the hills, Codornices Creek flows through another city park, Live Oak Park, which lies a block north of Rose Street on Shattuck Avenue. West of here, the creek enters a culvert. The creek was once spanned here by a railroad trestle built by the Southern Pacific when it extended the Berkeley Branch steam line for its new East Bay Electric Lines. (The abutments on either side of the trestle were created from the excavation of the nearby Northbrae Tunnel.) Codornices Creek exits the culvert in various places below Live Oak, notably where Martin Luther King Jr. Way becomes The Alameda, and again, through the backyards of several residences north of Hopkins. It also runs open further west in the Westbrae area near Santa Fe Avenue, and again, adjacent to the University Village located in Albany. It runs into a culvert at Frontage Road east of I-80, and exits on the other side into a restored slough which was its original mouth into San Francisco Bay.
