Frog Park (Rockridge-Temescal Greenbelt)
The Rockridge-Temescal Greenbelt also commonly known as Frog Park is a public park and greenway that connects the neighborhoods of Temescal and Rockridge in Oakland, California.The land it sits on was designated as a public space during the 1960's undergrounding of the Temescal Creek that now runs under it. The park began to be built in 2001 and it encompasses two older parks: the Hardy and Redondo parks, subsequently popularly known as Big Frog and Little Frog parks. Its construction was led by the community volunteer group Friends of the Rockridge-Temescal Greenbelt (FROG), which continues to maintain and improve the park. While Temescal Creek remains mostly underground, the construction of the park brought back a reconstituted creek filled by water pumped up from the culvert below.
