Maddie Mae • August 17, 2014A hidden gem of a park in the middle of the Oakland port. Great photo ops.

Joe W. • July 1, 2010Great, flat, open field in the center of the park (with a couple big redwood trees on the side) perfect for tossing a Frisbee or running your dog.

RTOakland • August 24, 2011Great place to get together for a sunny day of volunteer cleanup! The library and community garden can always use a little love.

Terri E. • November 18, 2013Don't miss this lovely little garden when you visit Lake Merritt. Be sure to take a look at the bee hotel.

Xander H. • June 18, 2011If you're biking, be on the lookout for broken clam shells on the trail (tire shredders) and suicidal ground squirrels that dive head-first under your tires. Also, the rangers are really nice.

Matt W. • June 21, 2014The local.

Tina D. • June 30, 2015Spacious and mellow oasis downtown. Free live music on Fridays in the summer. Great place to have a quiet lunch break.

Robert F. • January 2, 2013No dogs allowed. Nice and small. Some trees for kids to climb.

Mz A. • April 29, 2012Venture up the trail and check out the swing with the kids.

Kim C. • January 11, 2011Parking, bathrooms, and large playground structure. Can keep kids busy for a while.

Pierre G. • September 2, 2013Do the columbine trail !

Aaron W. • November 14, 2011Nice place for youth football

Robyn J. • July 8, 2019Very nice since the remodel though not dog friendly

Anita • October 10, 2018Enjoyable easy walking path with a little stream. I like coming here but be aware that this is where people walk their dogs and there is a lot of dog walkers.

Ed • January 23, 2014Great park for kids. Has two sections: one for 1-3 and the other for 3-5 or so. Also a couple regular swings and a tire swing. Great for combining with a trip to the nearby farmers market in Sunday

Vansi • May 27, 2018Nice neighborhood park. Checkout the murals on the fence.

Duane M. • March 17, 2018Lots of cool history with this park. If you're ever at the Oakland Library History Room, take the time to look it up.

Duane M. • March 13, 2018Amazing historical site, with well-articulated history.

Kellie • September 25, 2013The park offers two nice playgrounds (one for the wee ones and a bigger kid playground). There is also a pond with lots of ducks for chasing.

Brian S. • October 26, 2016Like many Oakland parks, it's not super well maintained. At least we have it. Parking is ample enough for the weekend soccer games.
