A lot of people don’t know that one of the largest collections of coastal redwoods in the Bay Area is right in the Oakland Hills. I go to this massive park with my family all the time. It has tons of hiking trails and meadows to get out and stretch your legs. There are also plenty of picnic tables, so pack a lunch and make a day out of it. If you go during the week, you don't have to pay for parking.

The closest regional park! Go hiking, take your children, loved ones, or family, and enjoy a day in the nature in this park full of redwood trees just by 5 minutes driving.
Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park is a second-growth forest on land that was cleared by logging for timber in the mid-1800s. Thanks to the preservation effort of Dr. Aurelia Reinhardt (elected to the park district's first Board of Directors) in the 1930s, the redwood forest was regenerated and opened as a public park in 1939. The park was renamed in 2019 to honor Reinhardt's civil service work. This pristine redwood forest is just a few miles outside of downtown Oakland, and it's worth taking the drive out here to meditate in the peaceful redwood groves. A network of hiking, cycling, and equestrian trails traverses the park. The well-groomed paths invite visitors to amble through the redwoods, and detailed trail maps are available. The magnificent scenery and refreshing environment make this park a paradise for relaxation and nature appreciation. Visitors are awed by the grandeur of the giant redwoods and fragrant evergreens. Many of the stately coastal redwood trees (Sequoia sempervirens) soar to 150 feet, providing welcome shade on warm days. Within the park's 1,833 forested acres are deer, rabbits, and squirrels, as well as rare species like the golden eagle and the Alameda striped racer. Rainbow trout make their way through the park's Redwood Creek on their seasonal migration. The park has restrooms, water fountains, picnic areas including reservable picnic tables, a children's playground, and sites for overnight camping.

Just a beautiful place to get away from the hustle and bustle of, well, everything! Less then 7 miles from the loft.
