It's common knowledge that spending time surrounded by trees and plants can enhance your energy levels. If roaming around town has worn you out, Lafayette Square Park is a perfect spot to rest your tired legs and recharge your batteries.

Lafayette Square Park is a great place kick off your day in Downtown Oakland. This recreation and green space comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Set aside time for other sights like University of California, Berkeley, Oracle Arena, and RingCentral Coliseum to fully experience what the area has to offer.

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,306 reviews)

The camp grounds were attractive. Our unit specifically was not advertised (by the third party site) as a studio, therefore we were misled to think we had a stovetop. The space was nice and had almost everything we needed, quite frankly. My only concern was a musty smell that prevailed even with the AC running. It was most noticeable when we returned to the property after our outings. But overall it was a nice accommodation. Staff had a contingency plan for late arrivals and it was hassle free.
