Oak Glen Park, Oakland
- Park
- Oakland
Oak Glen Park follows a surviving open stretch of Glen Echo Creek along Richmond Boulevard in Oakland.
Native oaks and streamside vegetation create a narrow green corridor within the surrounding residential neighborhood.
The photograph shows the actual creek landscape. This park is distinct from Glen Echo Park farther upstream. Use current city notices for pathway and roadway improvement work, and stay on permitted routes beside the creek. Habitat restoration areas should remain undisturbed. Dogs must be leashed under the city’s posted rules. Expect a modest streamside stop rather than a large recreation complex, and respect nearby homes.
