Hiking
This is my personal favorite as its the closest to Rockridge and it is a beautiful new growth redwood forest that give a calming sense. The French trail is my trail in the park as it meanders just below the West Ridge line where you are in think vegetation.

Incredible views of the Pacific ocean and Marine forest. Best to get here as early as possibly as many of the parking area fill up quickly on the weekend

Great for shorter hikes with a great view of the bay area. Also close to Grizzly Peak where one can take in the full view of the Bay Area.

Walking the 3+miles on a nice day gives the full spectrum of what Oakland is about. Please from all back ground enjoying some nature nestled in the middle of Oakland.
