yum!
I plan to attend a concert on 9/10 @ Arroyo Viejo Park. Is it relatively safe in that area of town? I'm coming in from out of town & will travel via public transpo from the airport. Any suggestions on what bus route from the Coliseum Station is best to get me closest to the park?
Thanks for any info.
Arroyo Viejo is in East Oakland, one of the highest crime areas in the country. East Oakland, sadly, is known for its drug dealing and violent crime. Just two months ago, snipers fired on police officers in at the Park.

Oakland's jewel is Lake Merritt. Without it, this would be just another 'burb of San Francisco.
There's bird-watching, people-watching and general strolling in a great environment.
There are more people to hang out with on Piedmont Avenue, Rockridge (College Ave) and Jack London Square.
There's more natural beauty in East Bay Regional Park and, surprisingly intriguing: Mountain View Cemetery where SF's elite from the last century have been laid to rest.
Take care the schedule of the transportation,usually it will takes long time to wait a bus and they will work off very early in a day(except bart) When i first time came here,The Oakland Tribune Building which shows on picture impressed me,it's the symbol of city.
You can:
- Run around the Lake
- Hike in the east bay hills' Regional Parks
- Windsurf in the Bay
- Paddle or row
- Learn Karate, Kempo, Tae Kwan Do, Aikido or Krav Magna
- Do Yoga Bring whatever you need, or leave it at home... there's plenty of options here
Not really off the beaten path, but I really enjoyed a day of driving north from Oakland up through Napa Valley and on towards Mendocino.
I always take I80 North to Hwy 29 at Vallejo, then north on 29 through Napa and Rutherford, then west on 175 over to Fetzer Vineyard. 101 then gets you back down through Petaluma, Golden Gate and over the bay bridge to Oakland again.
It is a beautiful drive.
Locals will laugh as they know better places, but as a tourist I always stop at Niebaum-Coppola (used to be Inglenook) in Rutherford, then at Fetzer in Hopland and buy some Reserve.
The Englander is a fantastic British pub in the East Bay. They have over 86 beers on tap, from old favorites to microbrews. The taps literally run from one end of the bar to the other.
They have limited bar seating but plenty of tables indoors, & limited patio seating.
Most importantly, they have many televisions so you're sure to see any game. For NFL fans, they have the Sunday ticket, so they show all the NFL games. :-)
Furthermore, this place is much nicer than a typical sports pub. The Englander rocks! The food's not bad either. I've had the fish & chips & the hamburgers - all were good.
