Good on Paper

Tree huggers love spending time outdoors at Redwood Regional Park. Oakland's hidden redwood forest is the perfect 1,829-acre park to hug a really big tree. The park scurries with deer, raccoons, rabbits, and squirrels sharing their home with joggers, hikers, bikers, and mild-mannered walkers. Overnight reservations welcome, so campers pack your gear!

Let the good times roll at Manor Bowl. Bring the family to rent a pair of shoes, select a colorful bowling ball and spend time bowling strikes at the family-owned and operated bowling alley. State-of-the-art technology and thirty lanes host hours of bowling fun for the whole family at this attraction.
