Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park
About the Business
Located at 7867 Redwood Road in Oakland, California, Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park is a stunning tourist attraction and park that offers visitors a peaceful escape into a majestic redwood forest. The park was once a bustling logging area in the mid-1800s, but now boasts a serene forest of 150-foot coast redwoods. In 2019, the park was renamed in honor of Dr. Aurelia Henry Reinhardt, a prominent civic leader and president of Mills College.
With multiple entrances, including the main Redwood Gate entrance, visitors can explore the 1,833-acre park's diverse landscapes of redwoods, evergreens, chaparral, and grasslands. Wildlife such as golden eagles, Alameda striped racers, deer, and squirrels can often be spotted throughout the park.
Visitors can enjoy hiking, jogging, and horseback riding on the park's nearly 40 miles of trails, including sections of the East Bay Skyline National Trail and Bay Area Ridge Trail. The park also offers picnic sites, group overnight camping areas, and a children's play structure for families to enjoy.
For those looking to visit, parking fees apply on weekends and major holidays, with additional fees for buses and dogs. Public WiFi is not available, so visitors are advised to check AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon coverage before their visit.

Reviews
"This "2nd growth" redwood forest is always amazing, rain or shine or atmospheric river. It should have been a muddy day today after the latest rain storm, but these amazing hiking trails were only slightly muddy and easily passable. In the summertime, this lush forest is full of tall shade-bearing redwoods and a damp forest floor, full of ferns, are welcome respite from the heat and dry riverbeds only 30 miles east of here."
"I really like the hiking trails at this park. They're well maintained. The people that I pass were all quite friendly with their children and their pets. I will definitely be returning here. It's wonderful because it's less than 2 miles away from my friend's house so that we can go hiking together on the weekends."
"Best park in Oakland. Dog friendly, shaded trails, different degrees of difficulty depending on the trail. Many different points of entry although the main entrance does charge in the spring and summer. People are usually very friendly here and it’s probably one of the best reasons to live in Oakland."
"Short to long trails for hiking in this beautiful park with redwood trees. Although it was a quick hike for us, one can do a very long hike if they wish. Popular and parking areas are full of people smoking what not, but just a few minutes walk takes you to relatively quiet places."
"This park is a jewel to be treasured. We did a seven mile hike through and around the northern half, along the Stream and West Ridge trails. Even though I am an experienced hiker I still spent a good portion of the hike with my jaw hanging. Be aware there are few facilities, and some of the trails are quite strenuous."
