Welcome to bushrod.org

Welcome to bushrod.org, a guide to our corner of North Oakland made by neighbors, for neighbors.

Here’s what you’ll find:

• A neighborhood map with more than 80 local spots: cafés, restaurants, bars, parks, schools, and landmarks. Tap Open now to see what’s open this minute.
• A self-guided history walk through 14 stops, from the courts where Don Budge learned tennis to the site of the long-gone Idora Park amusement park.
• Parks & dog parks, including Bushrod Park’s tennis and pickleball scene.
• Events pulled every day from local libraries, venues, and markets.
• Tips: free bulky pickups, curbside motor-oil recycling, free museum passes with your library card, and more.

This site is only as good as what neighbors share. Know a great spot, spotted a closure, or have a photo of the neighborhood? Send it in.
