It’s a hidden gem, nestled unobtrusively within Oakland’s downtown business district. Chances are, you’ve passed by it – or parked under it—dozens, if not hundreds, of times, never knowing it was there.

The Rooftop Gardens is a three and a-half acre restaurant facility with an adjoining garden, complete with a wooden bridge, pond, neatly-manicured lawns, trees and ample space for up to 1,500 guests, poised atop the Kaiser Center garage at 300 Lakeside Drive.

Join Bay Localize for a day of planting and garden revitalization on January 20 at the EC Reems Midde School rooftop garden in East Oakland.
