Why Oakland is one of the best places to visit in May?

Lake Merritt

 

 

Lake Merritt is probably one of the most famous and iconic landmarks in Oakland. It has been listed as a National Historic Landmark since 1963. There are a lot of activities to choose from, there's a walking and jogging path along its perimeter, a boating center, a fairy tale themed amusement park called Children's Fairyland and so much more. 

 

These are some of the activities happening in Lake Merritt for the month of May:
