Minutes from downtown, this 500-acre Oakland Hills park trades city bustle for redwood groves, oak woodlands, creekside trails, and picnic meadows that draw families from across the East Bay. A ranger station offers park history and wildlife exhibits, and fenced off-leash dog areas serve both large and small dogs.
