Frank H. Ogawa Plaza forms a civic gathering space in front of Oakland City Hall.
Its broad paved areas and prominent oak tree connect the city’s government buildings with downtown streets and public life.
The photograph shows the actual plaza tree. Use current city information for pedestrian approaches and any event or maintenance restrictions. The plaza is an outdoor public space; access to City Hall rooms, meetings and offices follows separate hours and security rules. Community gatherings may change ordinary circulation. Respect the tree and planted areas, keep entrances clear and use marked crossings around the surrounding streets.
