*DIRECTIONS:
From 880 fwy in Oakland – take the Hegenberger exit & drive towards the Oakland airport – about 1 mile (from that exit). Take a right on Doolittle Drive & go about 1 mile and make a right ‘immediately-before’ the
“MLK Shoreline Park/Shoreline Center” sign & drive into the park towards the water. We will be to your right once you drive into the parking lot. Parking is free.

Restrooms are close by. This is a fully permitted party & a beautiful location right by the water/bay! Dogs on leashes only! & no drinking in the parking lot or you will get cited by park police. If you bring hard liquor DO NOT have it visually out in the bottle to be seen by others. Keep it put away in your ice-chest and/or covered up and keep it in cups. Park police will cite you if they see any hard alcohol bottles! Beer and wine is fine. Please clean up after yourselves & respect this location.
Thanks & see you all under the sun!

This is a picture of the Port of Oakland shipping container cranes at one of the berths. It was taken from a Ferry on the Ports Free Harbor Tours. As you have probably heard George Lucas got his idea for the AT-AT Walkers (All Terrain Armored Transport) from the Port of Oakland Cranes while flying into the Bay Area’s Oakland International Airport (OAK)at one time. Can it be confirmed? Who knows the truth. I think it is highly possible because he does live here in the North Bay. However he claims recently that this is NOT the case. George Lucas says he did not get his AT AT Walker idea from the Port Cranes. Is this true? Would he give the Shipping Container Cranes credit for his Walkers? Or would he say it is obviously an unique idea created purely by my own imagination?

First of all I love this building, it has always been my favorite and will always be.

The Oakland Tribune Clock Tower is a famous Oakland Landmark. It was declared a landmark on May 4, 1976 after about 70 years of life. The Tower was actually built in two stages. The six floors of base were completed in 1907 and the clock tower section was finished in 1923.

In recent years the Tower was damaged in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. Because the building was not occupied the Oakland Tribune Newspaper had to relocate. The Tower remained empty until 1995 and was bought and renovated. Ten years later in 1999 the great Tower was reopened. To this date it is occupied with condos and businesses. My company is actually locate din the Tower as well.

The Tower is a part of Oakland and will always be. It was recently sold for about $15 million dollars so I don’t think it will be going anywhere anytime soon.
