Discover the Wonders of Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve

Getting There

• Public Transit

  Start by taking the AC Transit bus line 51A or 51B from downtown Oakland. If you're near the 12th Street Oakland City Center BART station, you can catch the 51A or 51B bus at the bus stop on Broadway. Ride the bus toward the Oakland Zoo. You will want to get off at the stop at the intersection of Skyline Blvd and Grizzly Peak Blvd. From there, walk towards the entrance of Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve, which is approximately a 20-minute walk uphill. Follow the road signs leading into the park.

• Bicycle

  If you are comfortable biking, you can rent a bike from one of the bike-sharing services available in Oakland. Start at either Jack London Square or downtown Oakland and head east on 20th Street towards the hills. Follow the bike routes towards Skyline Boulevard. The ride will take you through residential neighborhoods and up into the hills. Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve has bike racks at the entrance where you can park your bike before exploring the trails.

• Walking

  For those who prefer to walk, start at the Oakland Public Library located at 125 14th St. Walk east on 14th St until you reach the intersection with Broadway. Turn left on Broadway and continue until you reach the bus stop for AC Transit lines. Take the bus line 51A or 51B as described above. Alternatively, if you are up for a long hike, head directly up the hill towards the park entrance, which is about 2.5 miles away. Prepare for a steep ascent!
