Visit Oakland, the city’s official destination marketing organization, encourages visitors to explore the Oakland Hills neighborhood during the month of September. The Oakland Hills are filled with hikes and outdoor activities, making the neighborhood a must-visit for adventure-seekers. The neighborhood also offers family friendly activities, including the Oakland Zoo and Chabot Space & Science Center, as well as many unique shops and dining options.
“There's endless possibilities for fun in the Oakland Hills -- from the worldrenowned urban trail system spanning Dimond Park and Joaquin Miller park, and connecting to hundreds of miles trails in the greater East Bay, to the bourgeoning and vibrant restaurant scene, to the creative and unique small business owners who make up our Laurel, Dimond, and Montclair business districts, to our cultural gems—the Chabot Space & Science Center and Woodminster Theatre— there's truly something for everyone,”
says Vice Mayor Annie Campbell Washington.
