Lake Merritt
Lake Merritt is widely known to locals as “The jewel of Oakland” for its scenic, natural beauty and wide range of activities and attractions. The lake's 3.5 mile paved perimeter is utilized at all hours of the day by joggers, families, and local residents. Home to multiple public gardens, the Lake Merritt Boating Center (host of numerous rowing clubs and an hourly rental service), an amphitheater that hosts regular weekend concerts, a bird sanctuary, and Children’s Fairyland, Lake Merritt is rightly hailed as the centerpiece of Oakland living.
