Family-friendly parks have definitely changed over the years. In lieu of the standard plastic playground equipment and dirt surface areas, you’ll increasingly find engaging and imaginative structures like wooden forts, vista towers, and more!

Situated in a beautiful, treed area of the Rockridge-Temescal Greenbelt in North Oakland, FROG Park is a neighborhood fixture.

The biggest attraction here is the extensive wooden fort area featuring several creative play areas. In it, kids can use their imagination and pretend they are a gatekeeper, explorer, train conductor, or other fanciful adventurer.
Families with small children come from all over the area to enjoy the wide range of apparatus that engage and excite.

The name of the park (FROG stands for Friends of the Greenbelt) is a sort of tribute to the many citizens who put in a lot of hours, love, and commitment to bring this neighborhood treasure to fruition.
Slides, tunnels, catwalks, and castles, oh my!

The creators here also incorporated lots of exciting design elements that meld perfectly with the surrounding greenbelt environment.
