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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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