2. Lake Merritt Park and Wildlife Refuge

OAKLAND.   In the urban jungle of downtown Oakland, visitors and residents have found comfort and beauty in serene Lake Merritt for over a century. Lake Merritt Park and Wildlife Refuge makes the most of this natural beauty, providing a sanctuary for birds and waterfowl that inhabit the lake and educating visitors about them. The park is also a center for sporting activities, including sailing, canoeing, and jogging along the lakeshore. Fairyland, a kid's amusement park, is also located here.   (© 10Best)
