Frolic Outdoors
Green acres is the place to be—but who knew you could find them
so easily in Oakland? The East Bay Regional Park District offers
65 public green spaces spanning more than 113,000 acres. March
your hiking boots to Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve and scale
Round Top, a 2,000-foot-tall dormant volcano that’s covered with
eucalyptus trees and yellow monkey flowers. Partial to fauna?
Then you’ll be thrilled to discover the three-hour llama experience
at Redwood Park: You’ll groom, feed, and lead the social creatures
through the peaceful forest under the guidance of an experienced
handler. And if two-wheeled travel is more your thing, cycle along
the redwood-studded paths in Roberts Park. Here, you can even
strut your stuff Robin Hood–style by signing up for an archery
class. Sounds like a bull’s-eye to us. ebparks.org
