Frank H. Ogawa Plaza
NARRATIVEI was so jonesin' to check my email before leaving the wired world. So I left the 12th Street Oakland BART Station and walked over the large Oak tree in Frank Ogawa plaza. Seateed on beautiful granite stairs I have all the wireless I could want.
CONTACT INFORMATION
Broadway/13th Streets
Oakland, CA
PRICE RANGE
Free
SUMMARY
Lovely downtown park in front of City Hall that houses everything from afternoon lunch goers to NPR's Storycorps Griot trailer, busking violinists and dancers, capture the flag tournaments, and the Barack Obama rally.
SERVICE
City staff keep the plaza beautiful. A nice rare find in the city.
RESTROOMS
I shouldn't suggest the greenery.
SUGGESTION
Continue to bring community events to this space. As the condos get filled with those grabbing their piece of Oakland, I am sure it will be used more, but for now it's a bustling green in the daytime and a little night-time oasis in the city.
Keep Oakland beautiful!
