Description

The 3 block-long Greenbelt is located along a portion of the Temescal Creek bed, on property belonging to the Alameda Flood Control District and leased by the City of Oakland. The greenbelt balances quiet areas featuring benches, redwood groves and butterfly gardens, with active play areas including children’s play structures, swings (potential future element) and a climbing wall (backside of Hardy Playground). Along most portions of the greenbelt the faux creek has been or will be restored with improved channels, native plants, and small boulders for creek crossing. Handicap ramping at the Redondo site allows for easy access to the creek.
