Great steps to walk up and down. Kids park is great for little ones. Bathrooms were far away ....not great for potty training toddlers .

Kids love to run around in the empty fountains

Fresh mountain to relax you mind take out all that extrese

One of the many very photogenic places in the park.

One of my favorite places in the East Bay

This is just one small part of a large and wonderful park. There are stone steps leading from a large street-level fountain up to another smaller fountain. From there, more steps lead up alongside pools and waterfalls to the Woodminster Amphitheater. The whole thing was constructed in the WPA and although its falling apart in places, it has a lot of charm. The water usually isnt flowing in the fountains or waterfalls these days but people still come here to walk, sit on the nearby grass, use it as a backdrop for photo shoots, or run up and down the hundreds of steps for a good workout.

If you are quietly looking you will see several beautiful dragonflies.

One of the most beautiful Urban parks in California. Views of Oakland, San Francisco and the Bay Area are heavenly. Walk the stone staircases or numerous trails to discover unique artifacts of the poet Joaquin Miller. With the fountains flowing around sunset, you might feel youre in a Maxfield Parrish painting.I love this place and so does my dog!

Great trails hidden all over. nice circle loops for mtb riders

Peaceful spot with a good view. Got to hang out with a random dog so that was a nice bonus

Good view, but there are better nearby. I like the waterfall and it’s got some green space to relax in

Beautiful area has been a little neglected but over all worth the trip. Great place to take pictures.

Has a dog park, hiking trails for hiking and biking, stairs to run on, a theatre, basketball court, and a Vista point of a scenic view of the bay area. Definitely a park to check out in Oakland.And please pick up after yourself after taking a photo shoot or having a picnic. It annoys me that there are fake flower petals/confetti on the ground because you dont want to clean up after yourself.And dog poop too.

One of the best views in the entire SF Bay. Great place for walking and more.

Wonderful place for hiking, picnics or just enjoying peace and quiet!!

Its very peaceful.

Great happy hour (s)!!!

Flowers in bloom now, tadpoles in all the pools. They are baby tree frogs.

I really wish park maintenance would clear the leaves off all the steps and stone staircases, but otherwise a really challenging workout spot... and rewarding views

Nature at its best

This place feels miles away from civilization, but literally blocks and minutes from the city.

Love it

Awesome

Very nice place

Great place to run stairs!!
