Port View Park
 Port
View Park is located at the extreme western end of Oakland's 7th
Street, adjacent to the newer Middle Harbor
Shoreline Park. Port View Park was extensively renovated after
the 1989 earthquake and has been open since 1995. The
location affords great views maritime operations at the Ben Nutter
terminal and of the bay. The central portion of the park includes
walkways, benches, picnic tables, a fishing platform and a children's
play structure.
A special park feature is the recently reopened
historical exhibit: "Room with a View", which is housed in the relocated
historic train switching tower shown at right. The exhibit
presents rich detail about the maritime and railroad history of the
area, which was the western terminus of the transcontinental railroad.
As of Spring 2011, the exhibit is open Monday -
Friday 10AM - 3PM.
The park is owned and operated by the Port of Oakland.
