One of the first places to revive outdoor dancing post-pandemic, this place was, and still is a fixture in the community as far as a vibrant, fun, beautiful, and social hub along Lake Merritt. When it's warm out, there are often dance/music events held. Often these have a few food trucks/tables/wagons vending as well. GREAT place to watch the sun set! Best bet is to park anywhere along Lakeshore Avenue and walk there along the lake path. It's also super close to the Grand Lake Theater area which has a lot of awesome restaurants, bars, wine, boutiques.

Lake Merritt is an awesome place to go for a walk or run with its stunning views and well paved pathways. You can often stumble upon live music near the pergola. I recommend bringing a blanket so you can have a picnic in one of the numerous grassy areas surrounding the lake. Try to get there before the sunset and stay until after the lights surrounding the lake come on for prime views. There are also many good restaurants near the lake!

BEAUTIFUL. I went on a Saturday and visited after exploring the Farmer's Market a few steps away. It was a great walk, tons of grass, lots of HUGE geese that were fun to watch, and even on a foggy day it oozed mystery and fun. If you love people watching it's a great spot to relax and just observe. I def recommend going on a Saturday, stopping by Peet's Coffee, then hit the markets up followed by a walk on the lake.
