Fashionable treats of all sizes await at this woman-owned shop
In the heart of the Grand Lake/ Lake Merritt neighborhood you’ll find Alyce on Grand and its incredible collection from independent female artists, sustainable fashion designers, and apothecary suppliers.
Owners Alyce and Kalu leverage their inter-generational experience to activate their boutique into a community space–one welcoming to all ages of women entrepreneurs, especially women of color who need a place to start or a space to grow. Stop in to shop (or order online), and attend one of their creative workshops or in-store pop-ups featuring a swoon-worthy small local business.

Nomadic Press
Nomadic Press is a 501(c)(3) literary and arts non-profit organization that supports the works of emerging and established writers and artists.
Through publications, events, and active community participation, Nomadic Press collectively weaves together platforms for intentionally marginalized voices to take their rightful place within the world of the written and spoken word. Through its limited means, we are simply attempting to help right the centuries’ old violence and silencing that should never have occurred in the first place and build alliances and community partnerships with others who share a collective vision for a future far better than today.

Splash Pad Park
Splash Pad Park was designed by Walter Hood — the founder of Hood Design Studio in Oakland, California. He is a professor and former Chair of the Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning at the University of California, Berkeley. His commissions in the Bay Area also include the gardens surrounding the De Young Museum and Oakland’s Walter Hood Lafayette Park.
The park is free and open to the public.
The Oakland park is the original splash pad water park concept which has become popular in other cities like Phoenix.
