Joaqin Miller Park

Owned and operated by the city of Oakland, Joaquin Miller Park is a large open space named for California writer and poet, Joaquin Miller. Miller bought the land in the late 1800s, and lived here at the Joaquin Miller house (which has since been preserved). In addition to building a home, Miller planted hundreds of trees and placed monuments dedicated to his various heroes, including Moses, John C. Fremont, Robert Browning, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning where they still stand to this day.
