"Just a rock painted in watermelon look."
"Nice bark nice place for barbecue for breeze for family. It’s very good I like it."
"Was born in Oakland in the 90s and this rock was always there. My dad would say, “watermelon! Ha ha ha!” Every time he would drive through the marsh and see it. Now that my dad has passed, me and my sister say it when we drive through to get to alameda. Can’t believe it’s still there 30+ years later. It’ll always remind me of my dad, and it makes me happy."
