More great features offered by Downtown Oakland include scenic sites like the Bonsai Garden and Lake Merritt. While Downtown Oakland is Upper Telegraph's southern neighbor, the city of Berkeley is the neighborhood's northern neighbor. Downtown Berkeley, the University of California-Berkley, and several national and state parks sit just north of Upper Telegraph.
