Welcome to Lake Park Retirement Residence! That’s what you’ll hear from everyone you meet at Oakland’s friendliest Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC). Overlooking Lake Merritt and the East Bay Hills, Lake Park has provided exceptional retirement living for more than forty years to residents 62 years of age and older. The diversity of the community mirrors that of the East Bay but it’s more than a place to live: Lake Park is a dynamic community that encourages residents to continue their busy lives, learn new skills and enjoy old pastimes. You can expect high quality services, marvelous accommodations and the peace of mind knowing that health care is available when and if you need it.
Lake Park provides a choice of apartments to meet your needs, all with kitchenettes or new, full kitchens, huge closets, convenient bathrooms and many with balconies and grand views. The Active Living Wing gives you a choice of activities ─ exercising in the new Fitness Center overlooking Lake Merritt, vying with other Wii aficionados, joining in Book discussions, creative writing seminars, using the computer center, attending OLLI lectures. There are endless opportunities to attend enlightening and entertaining events and socialize with your new friends and neighbors.

One of the more important choices you can make is in selecting an entrance fee that is best for your estate planning.

No matter which option you choose, you’ll find that Lake Park offers the best value in retirement living.
