Temescal Regional Recreation Area

Temescal Regional Recreation Area is a popular Oakland park featuring Lake Temescal with a swim beach, picnic areas, and trails managed by the East Bay Regional Parks District. The park has an ADA accessibility section on its official page. East Bay Regional Parks District provides accessible parking, accessible restrooms, and paved accessible routes throughout its regional parks. The park has two entrances — one on Broadway (North) and one on Broadway Terrace (South) — with parking available at both locations.

The East Bay Regional Parks District broadly offers loaner mobility aids including beach wheelchairs at select swim areas, accessible picnic areas, and accessible restrooms. Visitors with disabilities should contact the park directly at 888-327-2757 for specific accommodation needs or to confirm current accessible facility availability.

Visitors note that the paved paths around the lake offer relatively level terrain suitable for wheelchairs and strollers, though some trail sections away from the lake can be steeper and less accessible. The swim beach area is reported to be reachable via accessible routes during the summer swim season.
