Lake Merritt Boating Center

Lakeside on Lake Merritt in Oakland, California, is a distinctive urban environment featuring a three-mile Necklace of Lights shoreline that beautifully integrates nature and community. Recognized as the nation's oldest designated wildlife refuge since 1870, this tidal lagoon serves as a vibrant hub for local advocacy groups dedicated to the stewardship and preservation of the lake and its surrounding area.

The park offers a variety of recreational activities, including boating, biking, and lawn bowling, alongside programs such as the Oakland Municipal Band's free summer concerts. With ongoing volunteer opportunities and events like the Lakeside Park Bird Walk, it fosters community engagement and appreciation for its rich natural diversity.
