LAKE MERRITT
Urban lake in Oakland with a water sports center, children's amusement park, and a walking/jogging trail.
Lake Merritt is a surprisingly tidal urban lake that is great for walking and picnicking. It has grassy shores and several man-made islands for bird sanctuaries. There is a water sports center and a children's amusement park, Children's Fairyland. A walking and jogging trail runs along the perimeter of the park, which is almost 5 km long. It is possible to rent a boat for the day at the boating center to go on a mini cruise. A great way to get some fresh air before heading back to the streets of Oakland.
