About San Leandro 

San Leandro is probably one of the more generally overlooked cities in the San Francisco Bay area of California. First settled by the Spanish in the late 18th century then inhabited by Portuguese migrants, San Leandro with its oceanfront location and low-rise urbanization has a Mediterranean air that's truly enchanting. 

The city's European heritage is just one feature that makes it stand out from all of the other California cities nearby. The main annual event held there is another that makes it unique. Since 1909 San Leandro has hosted a festival celebrating the cherry. It's a massive carnival-style event that sees the streets lined with stalls laden with fruit from local farms and thronged with crowds enjoying the party atmosphere created by the marching bands. 

Apart from in June when the Cherry Festival is held, San Leandro is a peaceful city where the residents make the most of the California weather on the golf courses, on the city beaches, and in its superb regional parks. Cultural offerings in the city are as diverse and as different as a history museum is to a haunted house of horrors. San Leandro is a place to visit, not just in June, but at any time of the year.

Attractions and activities near San Leandro

The zoo consists of various areas which coincide with the regions of the animals’ natural habitats and also organizes activities related to those areas. In Adventure Land you can learn to fly like a bush pilot, take a ride on an Outback train or take a jeep ride through the Serengeti. Hiking the California Trail at the zoo is highly recommended. To get to the trailhead you'll get a ride on a cable car to the visitor center six hundred and fifty feet up the side of a mountain from where the views are awe-inspiring.

The preserve consists of various types of ecosystems such as wetlands and swamps as well as fresh and saltwater marshes which are the nesting habitats of migrant and resident birdlife. The preserve is intersected by a twenty-five-mile-long network of walking and cycling trails that wind through the open landscape around ponds and islands which are ideal spots to get out a pair of binoculars.
