A while back I drove around West Oakland and found myself at Middle Harbor Shoreline Park. This park is hidden around the Port of Oakland but if you look for the signs, you can find yourself here. Middle Harbor Shoreline Park has a great view of the San Francisco skyline that is visible anywhere in the park. To get a better view of  San Francisco’s skyline you can climb up into the observation tower that has free viewing scopes. Next time you are in Oakland, I recommend having Middle Harbor Shoreline Park as one of your go to destinations.
