Lake Merritt, Oakland, CA, USA
My usual spot for a jog. Clean lake and nice place for a walk/run. On the weekends you’ll get to enjoy some live entertainment at the Pergola. Nice place for a family picnic too.
This lake is the perfect place to idle away a day watching people, picnicking or enjoying a meal at the Lake Chalet Restaurant, or renting a boat (canoe, pedal boat, sailboat). Weekends in particular are fun --- there is always a drum jam at the north end of the lake, picnicking and some vendor stalls on the east side, people watching everywhere. The lake is beautiful, and there are some restaurants to spend time with friends and have a view to the lake. I don't give it a 5 star review because the surrounding areas (if you get there by Bart for instance) are not very nice.
The lake is beautiful, and there are a lot of great places nearby.
Very nice area to people watch n walk around for some work out. Nice place to sit and enjoy a drink or two 😊
Very relaxing space. Walk, run, bike, boat, sit, read, eat whatever you desire this is a great space to do it.
