The Lake Merritt Pergola

Beautiful spot for a walk or run. A lot of activity all around the lake .

Nice are to take a walk while waiting for a table at any of the restaurant/cafes

It's so beautiful to run around the lake and stop for a quick sunset picture here!

Not to be confused with the Lake Merritt Amphitheater , which is on the south side of the lake .

This place is a graffiti covered and trash infested homeless camp with weekly noise fests on weekends and eves. Nothing whats described on here

Beautiful walk along the water!

Take a hoodie, because the breeze off the water can sneak up on you :-)

You can find pictures of this pergola and fountain in many local businesses, your friends' wedding albums, mayoral copy and media, etc

Good spot to meditate ????

Great place to chill

Great place to chill , read a book or run.

Great view looking SW over the lake . This area gets live on the weekends with vibrant community that surrounds the lake .
