About the Business

Delta Discovery Experience is a park located at 69 Big Break Road in Oakley, California, United States. The institution offers a unique opportunity to learn about the Delta region through hands-on and informational displays at the Visitor Center. The center is staffed by knowledgeable Naturalists and Student Aides who are eager to share information about the park and nearby activities such as wetland walks and trails.

Visitors can enjoy picnic areas, meadows, a shaded amphitheater, boat and kayak launch facilities, and a fishing pier at Big Break Regional Shoreline. The park also hosts the Delta Discovery Experience, featuring covered outdoor areas for interpretive and educational programs that highlight the Delta's ecosystems and wildlife. A 1,200 square-foot interactive map allows visitors to visualize how water flows through the region.

The Visitor Center building, completed in 2012, is certified 3 Green Globes for its environmentally-friendly design and operations. The project was partially funded by a $2.5 million grant from the State of California's Proposition 84. For more information, visitors can contact the park at 2950 Peralta Oaks Court in Oakland or call 1-888-EBPARKS (1-888-327-2757). Hearing impaired individuals can use the TRS at 711 for assistance.

Dhayal Subramanian:

"Great place to bring the kids for learning about the delta, history of the area and conservation efforts. Very helpful rangers at the visitor center. They have multiple programs like wildflower walks, campfire evenings etc. Lots of miles of shoreline trails to walk, run, bike etc."
