This shallow, 195-acre lake in downtown Oakland provides a variety of recreation activities to the city and its people. Pedal boats, sailboats, canoes, and rowboats are available for rent at a boating center that is open daily from 9am to sunset. Many local sports and environmental clubs congregate here. On any given day you might witness joggers, cyclists, or a boat race. It's also a place to view more than 29 species of local and migratory birds. Rotary Nature Center, Northern California's oldest Wildlife Refuge hosts a bird feeding every day at 3:30pm. The lake features an adjoining park equipped with picnic facilities and a storybook children's park, Children's Fairyland.
