The Big Frog park on Claremont at Hudson in Oakland is one of the greatest spots in the Bay Area: great attractions for kids of all ages, great atmosphere, signs denoting Masks must be worn at all times, super fun.Love taking our 6 yr. old grandson there. Really nice bunches of kids come here, cool parents and significant others, too.

The most perfect eight miles run in the park, down to the ocean beach and back passing by the Young Museum!!. beautiful place, glad to have it in the city!!

Homeless still camped out near kids playground, but no trash and I had a good BBQ

Quite neighborhood park for all to have fun. Basketball courts, dog park and huge play area for the kids.

Love this place, except the under-the-highway location. I wouldnt take my dog here-- yuck! But I do visit the playground as its not completely under the freeway/train. The play structures are wooden, nice to look at but hard to watch toddlers if their popping in & out of the structures. Lots of communal toys left for kiddos to play with here and a couple tables for picnicking.

Great place to run the dog around - grass would be nice but the dirt lot under the freeway gets the job done.

I love this park its a great environment I wish the little like thats made to be available for when I get extremely hot was truly available when they need it but its not and I also dislike that and the minority areas is park like that available for our kids we have to go where is no diversity in that county where is mostly Caucasian and that hides it really upsets me because in my neighborhood my child to have the same equal availability of that type of quality of Park

This is a great place for kids, grown ups and your family pet. However the bathroom is locked and there is. nowhere close by to use the restroom.There is a dog park and playground. There are also basketball hoops.

Great urban refuge, lots of greenery, kids playground with things even adults can enjoy, right under a freeway

One of my kids (ages 6 and 4) favorite park! I love the wooden play structure and the enclosed play area. My son loves to bring his bike and its nice to ride along the trail although sometimes you find 1-2 homeless people sitting on the road along the trail. Never had any issues. Bathrooms are not clean!

. . . nice footpath extending along creek bed, partially under ground.

Awesome good time away with the kids;)

The playground looked fun for children, besides the homeless person sleeping nearby, but other than that it looks family friendly and fun :)

My niece loves this park and with the new play site they build its even better than before!

Bring your children or dogs & play basketball

Great dog park!

Nice walk, with dog park, basketball, kids area.

Frog Park...great place for families. Partially sheltered and fenced dog park next door.

Incredible fun for kids. Very well maintained park with rides and amusements for all.

Awesome park I never knew was there

Quiet and peaceful, doggos welcome, and bring the kids

Love this park.Plenty of shade. Great outdoor play gym with slides and sand box. Also right next to dog park, also a plus for kids

Its a very nice playground but part of it is under reconstruction so it missing some facilities. The are still a few slides and wooden bridges the kids had fun playing with. There also small tables for eating, some grass area and a dog park near by.

Great access for all,even dogs. Really peacefull park to be where it is. A diamond in the ruff

A nice place to stretch your legs. There are a lot of folks walking there dogs, but it is still nice to see some trees.

Cute space for muchachos

Me born and grow in the Rockridge-Temescal Greenbelt for 47 years. Its the most diverse progressively mindful community in the entire Bay Area.

New playground is great. Quite the scene on Sundays because of the farmers market that is a short walk away.

This area is close to the Colombo Club and the farmer market, and allows to spend time with the kids and let them play in a rather nice area. The playground has lots of nice structures that are quite original not the usual commercial slides etc. Unfortunately the presence of pigeons means one has to pay attention to droppings. Kids can safely ride a bicycle.

Great area

Everything very well organized and everyone very helpful... The side walks , those need attention since Im in a weelchair i pay a lot of attention to this matter and I think that whole area needs some repair, a lot of uneven squares and high lips on the crosswalks, requires a lot of attention so you dont get face planted

This is probably the most unique play structure in Oakland that Ive seen.Its much more interesting than the normal metal structures that you see and has tons of nooks and crannies and a pirate ship and its all wood.The green belt is very interesting also you can show your children where animals would be if we didnt live in an urban environment.The people who made the green belt were amazing and I love that they did this. We are grateful to have this legacy to have our children learn.

One of the most nice park in Oakland. Even empty the pond is great, wood structure is the best, sand area with bench. However the highway is literally over the park, doesnt allow to relax. I wonder what was built first

This is a really nice park that I frequent with my daughter, her husband and my grandkids. The grandkids love the playground climbing/slide structure - its really big! (theyre 1 & 1/2, 3 and 6) When the other part of the playground (swings, etc) is finished and open to the public (soon!) itll get 5 stars! The walking path, winding through the entire park, is very nice too, covering a long block between one street and another (wish it was longer) and takes one out of the city-feel. I love it when theres water in the stream. The dog runs and a basketball court, along with the grassy areas, make it an all-inclusivse place.

Nice little urban park. Even has a dog park and basketball courts attached! The majority of the park is very well kept.I do have a complaint with the basketball courts. Ive played ball there a few times myself, and the upkeep of the courts is lacking. The main issue is that there are pigeons and pigeon droppings EVERYWHERE.I investigated this mystery, and it turns out there are two culprits. The first is that the courts lie under the freeway overpass, and pigeons sit on the a small ledge of the overpass directly above the courts. These ledges could certainly use some bird spikes.The second issue is that Ive seen two unrelated individuals feeding the pigeons massive amounts of seed ON THE BASKETBALL COURTS. I cant expect the city to do much about this other than maybe putting up a Do Not Feed The Birds sign?I love playing basketball here, but Im afraid these courts will be unusable if this issue with the pigeons persists. End rant!

This is our favorite playground in Berkely or North Oakland. Unlike the cookie cutter plastic playground which seem to be the norm, this is sturdy timber structure with tons of features and miss anything crannies to explore. There is a separate area for smaller tots, as well a great sand box. My sons favorites are the suspension bridge and the wooden steam engine.

Awesome park in a not so obvious place.

Very well designed park from Parks & Recreation. Good sun protection. Park is great for toddlers.

Love the theme and my toddler loved this park

Great Dog Park with a great community. My only complaint would be the concrete. It can be hard on the paws! Noon and Five are the rush times.

Nice play structures ,fenced in dog area and a cozy little trail through some trees and even bench to relax under the trees

Dog park is the best!

My grandchildren love it. Its a great place to let them unwind and interact with others

Wonderful place to enjoy of outdoor activities of bringing your kids for a good time.

Mangonadas, fruit cups, and tejuino are sooo good.

A great place to take a walk...past the DMV!

If youre in the area, its a nice place to take your kids for a walk.

Great slides and activities for babies and growing toddlers

Frog park has a new frog today.

Very nice for walks and kids

Nice park to let the kids run around when in oakland.

One of the best parks for small children in the area. Has a really great play structure and a pond thats full during the summer. The dog park next-door is really nice to see lots of dogs with your kids.

Quiet alternative to street sidewalks, but filled with weeds and random piles of junk

Nice kids park. Dog park is a bit bare but has water and was clean.

Great place for kids and family and friends to gather casually - play structures, swings, some tables and seating.

Friendly Dog park..all dogs welcomed

Came for the dog park. It’s pretty clean but kind of a shame it’s under the overpass. No sun gets to it, can be kind of chilly and there isn’t any water and it’s all concrete so I don’t think we’ll be back.

Nice dog park. Under freeway. Bit noisy.

Really love those cute little walk

The pirate ship playstructure is unique. Location is cozy and tucked into a residential neighborhood with fair tree cover. My daughter loved playing here.

Very cute play structure. Great place for kids under 10. (Note: the creek is still dry as of April 2017)

My kids got lost.

This is a great park for young kids. The play structure was great for hide and seek. There are also basketball courts and the restroom was reasonably clean.

Nice little trail from DMV to Frog park, alongside a creek with lots of shade .

Our Grandchildren loved playing here!!

Great wooden play structure with many interesting and varied sections. Paved trail along the creek, dog run, open space, bathrooms. The play structure does a good job of accommodating many kids in a small area, and has a nice balance of shade & sunlight for sunny California.

Nice little place to chill

Great Park area with a fantastic play structure

A hidden gem. The GPS seems to take you in spirals to get there and at first it just looks like a parking space under the freeway, but then you see the elaborate play structure and the creek and the greenery and the nature walk. Hats off to the folks who planted this secluded parklet amidst the freeways and apartment buildings.

Great park for kids 3 and under. Only downside is the semi-permanent homeless encampments.

Grandkids and I love to play and picnic here. Gummy, my dog enjoys playing here at the caged dog park.

Fun park for my 21 month old boy. lush trail leading up to it. lots of kids and a great experience

Good play structure for kids 2 and up, shady areas. Public restroom (though exactly as unsavory as one would expect in a park under a freeway) always appreciated for emergencies.

Worst dog park in Oakland. Its under the freeway over pass in a dusty, dirty, gritty fenced in lot. We all hated it.

Good little kids play structure. Aging space, with little maintenance. They are currently redoing the swing area.

Nice neighborhood green space.

Playground areas are full of broken, filthy plastic toys. Bathroom totally inoperable. Lots of homeless camps. It grossed me out but the kids had fun.

Fun playground, even better man made river/water feature. Kids always have a good time here.

The community put ALOT of work and time to organize this park. They built and paid for it. Its a great place for kids, the dog, your friends etc.

Terrific neighborhood park. Awesome place to meet neighbors and let the kids run after a stop at the farmers market.

I really like this park and bring my kid here all the time. Parking can be a bit of a pain, and one time someone pooped in one of the slides, but other than that its a fun park with safe play structures.

Great park, lots of fantastic things to explore for kids - sandbox, swings, forts, slides, a pond and stream on the weekends (they turn it off during the week). Only thing its missing is swings with proper seats for toddlers

Unique playground. Safe. Really nice when the water is running.

Impressive multi-level structure with a lot of rooms to explore. Wood chip base. Grassy area, swings, and restroom are nearby. Lots of noise from the freeway.

Great neighborhood park for kids, especially preschool/kindergarten aged kids with swings, slides and a giant climbing structure.

Cute park nice play area for kids and some shade but located under the highway

Great place for kids. There are many play structures, a dog park and a fresh water pond in the spring and summer.

Nice park kids love it here and its shady lots of trees and picnic area laid back

Great Neighborhood kids park with a fenced in Dog Run/Park adjacent

Yeah I know what I mean jelly Bean

Lots of play structures and slides. No baby swings, but a couple of big kid swings. There are some renovations planned for 2018.

Hidden park that follows a stream bed, usually dry. It winds through the middle of a few blocks with one end at a kids play structure and a grass field and a fenced dog run.

Nice play structure, but so close to the freeway ramp (basically overhead).

Great play structure. My 6 year olds had a great time.

Wonderful Greenbelt Park along an artificial Creek, established and maintained with neighborhood initiative.

Friendly neighborhood park, lots for kids to do but under freeway.

Hand crafted playhouse! Water feature for wading! Sand box with mosiac turtle! Magical wonderland.

FROG Park is a good weekend destination if your kids need to blow off some steam. It can be crowded, but the play structure is well-designed and large, with lots of twists, turns, nooks and crannies. Plus, its actually made of wood and metal rather than the all-too-common cookie-cutter primary color plastic play structures that have taken over schoolyards and parks. On summer weekends the city of Oakland daylights the Temescal Creek, which flows alongside the bike path from a pool under the redwoods. The park also features a large, fenced-in dog run. The only knocks against it are that it is often very crowded, and that it sits directly under all eight lanes of Highway 24 and the BART line so there is significant traffic noise to contend with.

Great park for little people. Just the right size for toddlers.
