Mountain View Cemetery is a historic 226-acre rural cemetery in Oakland, California, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted in 1863. It is one of the oldest and most historically significant cemeteries on the West Coast, featuring the mausoleums and monuments of many prominent California families. The cemetery offers free docent-led tours twice a month, open to the public on select days through a limited recreation program.
Visitors planning a trip who have mobility or other accessibility needs are encouraged to contact the cemetery directly at (510) 658-2588 to inquire about current conditions.
Visitors note that the grounds feature hilly terrain with winding roads throughout the property, which may present challenges for some wheelchair users or those with limited mobility. The paved internal roads are generally usable for vehicles and may assist those who have difficulty walking long distances across the site.
