The
Rockridge Community Planning Council is proud to represent the
Rockridge Community to the City of Oakland in areas of land
use and design review, pedestrian safety and traffic, parks
and open space, community schools and public safety. The
council is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization serving the
Rockridge neighborhood since 1985. Several landmark Rockridge
projects have had their genesis in the RCPC, including the
Rockridge Library and the Rockridge Temescal Greenbelt, aka
FROG Park. The Council is proud to sponsor the biannual
Rockridge Kitchen Tour which is a favorite tour in the East
Bay. For more about the RCPC please click on the headings and

Rockridge, an
Oakland Community
Rockridge is a nationally
recognized model of a sustainable neighborhood commercial
district centered around multiple transportation options with
an emphasis on the area’s ‘walkability’. The vibrant
commercial heart of Rockridge is College Avenue. At its center
are the BART Station and popular Market Hall. College Avenue
is graced by the Julia Morgan-designed Presbyterian Church and
the community designed Arts & Crafts Rockridge Library. It
sports professional offices, personal services and a wide
variety of retail shops and acclaimed restaurants. Surrounding
the avenue on tree-lined streets are one and two-family homes,
ranging in styles from Craftsman and Victorian to California
Mediterranean and ultra-modern. The internationally recognized
California College of Arts, a Jesuit seminary, two elementary
schools, two middle schools and one high school serve the
families in this diverse neighborhood of artists,
professionals and working-class residents.
