Neighborhood History

Oak Glen Park-Richmond Boulevard is a North Oakland neighborhood laid out circa 1905, its hyphenated name reflecting the combination of the oak-dotted glen parkland and the Richmond Boulevard residential corridor that define its character. The neighborhood developed as part of Oakland's northward residential expansion, its middle-class housing stock built for the families who arrived with the extension of streetcar lines along the major North Oakland corridors in the early 20th century. Kaiser Permanente Oakland Medical Center on Broadway — the flagship hospital of the Kaiser Permanente healthcare network and one of the largest acute care facilities in the East Bay — lies adjacent to the neighborhood, providing its most significant institutional anchor and making Oak Glen Park-Richmond Boulevard one of North Oakland's most prominently health-services-adjacent residential communities. Oak Glen Park provides the neighborhood's primary community green space, its oak woodland character consistent with the broader ecological heritage of North Oakland. Broadway and Telegraph Avenue serve as the primary commercial corridors connecting the neighborhood to downtown Oakland and the Temescal District. That combination of early residential character, park access, and major institutional proximity defines the MY-NHD Oak Glen Park-Richmond Boulevard collection.
