Annual Picnic

Saturday, August 28

Joaquin Miller Park, Oakland

You are invited to join fellow MGOC members at our Annual Picnic at Joaquin Miller Park in the Oakland Hills on August 28.

We’ll enjoy the beautiful trees and scenery in the park. A short walk will take you to Lookout Point or the deck of the nearby community center where you can see the entirety of the Bay Area. You can marvel at views of everything from Hayward and San Mateo in the south to the Golden Gate and north to Marin in all of their glory. Be sure to bring cameras and binoculars. Other short walks will take you to the fountains and waterfalls built as community projects in the 1930s - and those alone are worth seeing!

We’ll be in the beautiful Craib Meadow Picnic Area, so expect a day of sun or shade – whichever you prefer.

The Club will provide charcoal for grilling and barbequing. Bring your own favorite food and beverage.

Come as early as 10:30 am and stay around a while. We’ll plan on lighting the coals around noon.

There is plenty of parking just across the road, so there is simply no excuse for not joining your fellow club members and enjoying the day!

Directions: Take Highway 580 or 24 to 13. Exit 13 at Lincoln/Joaquin Miller Road. Go east on Joaquin Miller Road. Drive uphill a little less than a mile, then turn left onto Sanborn Drive. Enter the Joaquin Miller Park and make your way to Craib Meadow.
