Intro
All open source and no play makes Jack a dull committer...
For a few years now, we've been putting together fun things to do for recreation in the AC cities.
This year, the Marriott has done a fair amount of the work for us up front, so check out http://oaklandcvb.com/visiting_sports_recreation.cfm
Running
As always, there are a fair number of runners at AC. If you are interested in running, add your name, contact email, distance, and preferred times below:
- Grant Ingersoll, gsingers@a.o, 3-6 miles, morning (7am?)
Rock Climbing
Obviously, there is a lot to be had outdoors in CA, but there is also a gym that isn't too far away: Berkeley Iron Works http://www.touchstoneclimbing.com/ (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Oakland+rock+climbing+gym&sll=37.964907,-122.053127&sspn=0.406008,0.741577&gl=us&ie=UTF8&hq=rock+climbing+gym&hnear=Oakland,+CA&ll=37.808869,-122.272596&spn=0.024582,0.046349&z=15&iwloc=B)
Tilden Park in Berkeley offers some good outdoor bouldering.
Cycling
Again, probably better cycling in the surrounding area than anywhere near the hotel, but maybe some locals can add their info.
Ice Skating
Oakland Ice http://www.oaklandice.com/index2.html, they have an air hockey table. Hours vary.
Evening Recreation
Singing Piano Bar - Rod Dibble is an Oakland staple. You can sing standards with him at The Alley, which is a swift taxi ride away from downtown.
Grand Lake Theater - http://www.renaissancerialto.com/ Old school theater, beautiful building.
