Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve in Oakland, California, offers a rich history dating back to the 1930s, evolving from a Civilian Conservation Corps camp to the expansive regional preserve and dog park we know today.
Established in 1936 by the East Bay Regional Park District, the initial focus was on developing what was then known as Upper Wildcat Canyon.
This project was a significant undertaking, fueled by $63,428 appropriated during the New Deal era, and supported by the “Camp Wildcat Canyon” – a Civilian Conservation Corps camp operating from 1935 to 1941 within the Tilden Nature Area.
The park's development was intricately linked to events like the Golden Gate International Exposition (1939-1940), where the Meadows field hosted cricket games, utilizing Brazilian hardwood imported from the Brazilian Pavilion.
The land itself was acquired from the East Bay Municipal Utility District on June 4, 1936, encompassing 2,162 acres.
Over time, the preserve expanded beyond its initial purpose, integrating elements like the Little Farm (featuring livestock and a vegetable garden) and the Environmental Education Center.
Today, Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve remains a beloved Oakland destination, offering a unique blend of natural beauty, historical significance, and a dedicated dog park space.
