This place is the bomb. Nature in the city. They have different plants everywhere, art to see, and the tea garden was great too. I would highly recommend exploring.

Oakland did a really good job with this park...!!So nice to see families with children in the playground and sitting under shaded oak trees.. I do wish it was more dog friendly.

Nice little park across from Lake Merritt. Just no restrooms.

Great job redesigning the space from mostly grass to more diverse use of space, beautiful oak trees, places to sit, and view the lake!

The grass was mostly over watered but the playground was great.

A new jewel in Oakland. Love our parks!

When its not crowded snow park is one of the best place to hang out in Oakland. We brought our own wine and stuff to eat and it was an awesome experience not too sunny not too windy perfect.

I love this park and so does my grandson....

It is lovely there! Beautifully thick green grass and secluded spaces for intimate picnics. A small area for golf and a brilliant play structure for the kiddos

This park is gorgeous right now.. Tue grass is so lush and green. The patknis new and I have hopes the city will keep it clean and full of life in the future to come.

One of the most beautiful parts of Oakland. Help keep it clean!

Beautiful parkNeeds to be clean more often

Very nice park just needs some swings

Great place to hang out after work to get outside and get some sun

Theyve really I.proved this place from what it used to be. For years it was just a dirt pile surrounded by orange barriers and lost of homeless people. Now theyve laid out grass, put up a kids playground and just made that whole side of the lake beautiful. I walk through often with my dog and I always see people having family get togethers and having a great time! Im so grateful they finished up all the landscaping around the lake because its such a great addition to the city to attract more people.

Very relaxing space, besides the lake and near to the Catholic Cathedral of Oakland.

Excellent enclosed toddler area. Fun, clean, smart equipment.

This park has recently been re-done. Its a really nice spot along the lake to eat lunch or take the kids to the little playground thats now there.

Park was ok except some parts of the grass was soggy and muddy which caught our shoes by surprise. Also the bathrooms were locked up Sunday which isnt good for an 80 year old just hanging out with some family members with masks on.

Came here for a company picnic and it was great! Great weather, great space, nice views! Grass was a bit soggy but we made it work! Ha!

The park is nice. But there was no public restroom around.

Alot nicer since the relandscaped. Good sun. Typically full of suburban types.

Its a nice quiet place to relax

Grand reopening dedication DAY...

Or several years theres been an encampment located here with less than a dozen people who do take care of the place and althoughI wouldnt take my kids there to play, I would take my dog as long as you clean up after it.

The city of Oakland worked hard to provide a lovely place for people and families to enjoy picnics and leisure time.

Cool location by the lake but not on the lake

The renovation is amazing. This park is so much better now. Ive taken my son twice and hes enjoyed it very much. The park is well taken care of and has some of Oaklands original trees such as oaks and redwoods! Great place for a picnic or BBQ.

Great little oasis right next to the Lake!

A nice revamped park, family and community friendly.

That is very clean there always cleaned

Beautiful views. great trees

Wow what a transformation. Lived about a block away from 2000-2010. Used to be a pretty lackluster place full of homeless, dopeheads, and the best thing I ever saw was two guys blowing each other on a bench in the middle of the day for everyone to see. Great little park now with a nice playground and new grass.

It has a public restroom that does get cleaned several times a week

Great park near lake Merritt. Awesome place for little kids

The city has transformed this place into a lovely park! Me and my niece love the playground. My boyfriend and I adore the shaded areas for picnics. And the new pathways make walking around this area a little more fun

A gorgeous park now thats its been renovated, Snow Park boasts hilly and flat grass areas, tables and benches, a childrens playground and a putting hole. Its also well connected to the expanded lakeside park area. A great route to take to the Lake!

Not really enforcing the no kids no entry rule. Its hard to enjoy a park that cant regulate the amount of gross grown homeless men just loitering on the bench near the bathroom looking like straight human garbage while watching little children play. When we left the playground with the other kids and parents so did the bum. Regulate your new park OAKLAND!!! It used to be a hobo encampment

Its a beautiful park and lake

The recent renovation of this park is fabulous! There is a new, modern play structure in the middle of the park, as well as an enclosed toddler play area. The new turf is lush and green great for picnicking!

Nice place to take your kids, park has been redone. Dogs and geese go there. Nice for a rest.

My daughter likes this park alot. I love thats there is a fenced in area for toddlers. It gets 4 stars because there are no swings at the park.

The new park is great. Theres a space for the toddler and one for the older kids. The concrete surrounding the structure has a rubber consistency which is ideal as kids love to have fun and hopefully helps with minimally injures.Plenty of grass space to have lunch and amazing view. This is definitely an upgrade and they redid the small putt grass!Coming back soon to eat lunch and watch my son play. Plus use the adult size seesaw .

Nice to see the lake

Nice area to walk around plus they have different food trucks every Wednesdays

Was only here a short time but is a great park in the city. Large lake area and well kept grounds with running and walking paths.

The construction is over. And the park now looks amazing. There were a lot of garbage before, and now there is a playground. There is a lot of lawn space, a beautiful fountain, and the Lake Merritt all around it. There is a bike path, all in the center of Oakland.

Awesome park,I recommend it

Great to bring the children and play on the new playground! Aaand you can learn some Tai chi from the seniors who attend the park too :)!

Very small but pretty place, giving people a quiet place to relax in the city.

This place has restrooms. Enclosed kidcplay ares and has some gorgeous low hanging trees.

Oak Parks & Rec did a great job renovating that park! Congrats - since it has a tiny putting green to practice your hole in one I hope the community takes care of that. Could be easy to get all torn up especially when folks were using it today to swing a golf club that included letting thelr dogs run around on that circle of turf. Nice job overall OPR, keep it up!

Great view of Lake Merritt

Snow park looks better than ever! Bring your kids to the playground, or just visit on your lunch break and look at the lake. Plenty of seating and a beautiful view

The scenery is amazing and the playground is fun amd theres even a smaller playground thats blocked off for younger children

Nice renovation. Definitely enhanced my lake experience.

The park is currently undergoing rehabilitation repairs. I took my toddler son to watch the construction trucks at work, his present fascination and we both had fun. Once the remodeling work is completed, it certainly will be a nice place to hangout. I hope they place play structures for children.

Now that the City of Oakland had refurbished the park by creating new landscaping, walkways, bench seating and a childrens park the incredibly lush, enormous and ancient trees there now have the proper showpiece setting. Snow Park is lovely now and I suspect its beauty would be further enhanced by 4 inches of snow in the winter.

Good to walk.

Kids love this park & always great people around!

Awesome place to be with children and friends

Beautiful update here, great place to take my dog to play, throw the ball, and hear kids having fun on the play ground

People, view, weather, environment, park tent, and picnic food

Aside from the kids waking me up on #Halloween its nice. #parklife

Great for the kids and everyone else on a sunny day in Oakland

Great place to picnic on a sunny day.

It was fun

Such an improvement over how snow park was before being revitalized. Its my four year old daughters favorite playground these days!

Silenced!! People in talk, book .

The remodel is nice but the bathrooms next to the playground is closed and very little picnic tables.

Snow Park has one of the nicer new playgrounds in Oakland.

Nice park for relaxing. No barbecue because no fireplace, no garbageCans,limited restrooms .Just good carpet.

Its a nice shaded area as opposed to the other side of the lake for the most part. Excellent for a quite conversation or introspection.

What a great place for taking small kids and visitors from out of town. Weve even taken our happy dog on the train and she had a blast. A lovely choo-choo ride through the trees. Highly recommended.

Great place for group gathering... Get there early to find parking .

Just rebuilt. Really nice now

One of Oaklands pleasant little quiet treasures!

Nice urban park for lunch and playground for the toddlers

It is cute and next to a field . Keep a look out for child though because it is next to a Street and lake. They might chase some goose

Now it is a great Park for kids, really nice and new as of 2019

Newly opened, clean, plenty of shade and free of homeless campers...for now.

Beautiful scenery

They tore up a good park to make the homeless move out. The city needs to stop being reactionary and help people in need by intervening in rent control.

Great park but missing a basketball court and more user friendly restrooms.

A place of calmness from the high rise businesses directly across the street.

Awesome rebuilt park across the street from Kaiser rooftop garden

Walking distance to great food. Clean park.

Review pending until the extensive enhancements to the park have been unveiled.Check back in a bit.I wanted to update my review to share the exciting news that the renovations on the Park have been completed.The park looks wonderful. Theres an awesome new playground there which I hope Oaklands youth enjoy for many years to come.Some may express concern that the park has, in the past few years, become a place of last refuge for homeless people. Thats is indeed a shame which requires a response on a societal level.I hope ias we go forward, there arent conflicts in the park around the new facilities and the possible return of unsheltered individuals, especially those individuals who suffer from mental health issues.Call this wish simplistic but-- I hope the kids who enjoy this refurbished park and new playground-- have experiences which can contribute to joyful childhoods-- and hence are spared mental health problems in later years.

LOVELY SNOW PARK IS ONE OF MYMOST FAVOURITE PLACES TO RELAX AND RECHARGE.THE CURRENT RENOVATIONS ILLUSTRATE HOW FABULOUS IT WILL BE UPON COMPLETION. MY ONE BIT OF APPREHENSION IS DUE TO THE HOMELESS, THATWILL MOVE BACK IN. THIS IS A TRAVESTY.I DO NOT DENIGRATE HOMELESS ONES IN GENERAL. HOWEVER, THE VAST MAJORITY ARE WILLFULLY HOMELESS, REFUSING ASSISTANCE BECAUSE THEYHAVE AN AVERSION TO BEING RESPONSIBLE.ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE, HOWEVER, THERE ARERULES TO BE ADHERED TO.I AM A USMC COMBAT VETERAN; I FELL UPON HARD TIMES AFTER BEING DISENGAGED FROM THE CORPS. I WAS HOMELESS FOR A BRIEF PERIOD; AFTER SEEKING ASSISTANCE, I AM STABLE AGAIN SO, I HAVEACTUALLY BEEN THERE, I AM NOT PONTIFICATINGUPON SOMETHING THAT I HAVE LITTLE OR NO DIRECT EXPERIENCE WITH.I MOST FERVENTLY WISH SNOW PARK THE ABSOLUTE BEST

One of my happy places

Nicer than it was a decade ago!

I have been coming to this location for years. I just really appreciate everything about this place.Nice fun and relaxing

My 2 year old loves this park

What a great morning bike ride!

Nice and clean area for kids to play.

Jz c ca

Under construction now, but it looks like it will be a great space with playground, walking paths, grassy areas and established trees. All this is near Lake Merritt within view.

Kids can still have fun.

Nice new grass and great for kids and dogs

Very peaceful summer nighr vibe.
