Lake Merritt, Where Does WOW Meet?

Lake Merritt - Meet at 8:00 in front of Children’s Fairyland at 699 Bellevue Ave. Oakland

The WOW Team meets at Lake Merritt starting at Fairyland. One time around the lake is 3.1 miles.

Our workouts begin in front of Fairyland on Bellevue. Toilets available nearby. Free parking is available on Sunday outside on the side streets (Grand Avenue and others), otherwise there is a $5.00 parking fee. Off street parking (away from Grand Avenue) is available and free all days of the week. Bring your own water and layers of clothing.

Please Google the directions as there are several freeways that come into this area and there are confusing directions. Find your best route and go for it!

There are also toilets and water fountains at a few locations on the course.

See you there!
