This is a popular park near the entrance to lake Merritt. It was recently rebuilt by local neighbors after a massive fundraising effort a few years ago, so the party structures are relatively new and clean. It's in between the entrance to lake Merritt and the Saturday farmers market at Lakeshore ave. So it's a good place to take the kids after going to the market or checking out lake Merritt. There's a park bathroom (kind of gnarly, It's heavily used in an area where there's probably a decent amount of homeless at night.) nearby and water fountains and the charming small library.

Green grass, blue sky, The Pergola, trellis, vines, diversity, kids, grandmas, drummers, slack line, yoga, Capoeira, the lake, shorebirds, all good in the Oakland hood

Great place to go running or have a picnic. The jogging/walking path is about 3.5 miles and goes all the way around the lake. Beautiful views, especially at sunset.

Small park, but the area around the park is really diverse and fun to visit
