I love Knowland Park! It has a gorgeous view of the Bay and the sunsets are absolutely insane to witness here, regardless of clouds (in fact, it’s better if there are some clouds). Although I’ve found a special entrance that usually has no one around, I often bring my clients here to photograph their families as it has diverse locations and fields for children to run in. It never disappoints.
Great zoo that sits well in the mountain side. Made the zoo experience so much better. The gondola was awesome. I only dropped because the food wasn’t great.
This hidden hillside over looks the bay and the Oakland zoo. Bit of a drive to get here for the flats but worth it. Trails offer panorama views of the East bay hills. If you happen to hike up the way next to the 🐻 habitat PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL. It’s a cool way to see some animals in the big house 😁 for free.
Went here years ago as a kid and loved it. I decided to return to see the changes as an adult. Still a nice park and smsll zoo but it is not walker friendly. Walking from the lower level of the park to the top had no walking paths.
Peaceful walking area on the backside of the zoo. Walk as little or as much as you like. Stay flat or add in some hills. Multiuse trail; watch out for bicyclists. Be a responsible pet parent and pick up after your dog and dispose your pooh bag in an appropriate receptacle. Leaving it on the trail is not being responsible. Have a moment……take in a view.
