Sightseeing
Must visit Lake Merritt if you stay here. We’re 3 blocks away. Rent a scooter and take the 3.5 mile ride around. Or sit in the grass for a picnic. A favorite local running spot. By far the nicest part of Oakland.

Family spot
Must visit if you or your friends have small children. A local favorite tradition. If no children, skip fairyland and hang out around that side of the lake. It is natural and beautiful.
