Leona Lodge

Leona Lodge is a City of Oakland venue for organisers seeking a welcoming setting for private celebrations, meetings and special events. Set among trees on a quiet knoll, it offers an indoor banquet room alongside kitchen facilities and an outdoor patio with a barbecue pit. The natural surroundings give the lodge a relaxed feel while keeping it within Oakland.

The room can be arranged for different event formats, including seated banquets, theatre-style presentations and standing receptions. Published capacities are up to 100 guests for a banquet, 150 in theatre seating or 212 standing. The kitchen and outdoor barbecue area are included in the rental space, and organisers may bring in a caterer of their choice. On-site parking is available.

The lodge is suited to anniversary parties, family gatherings, meetings, seminars, retreats and other private or professional occasions. Its combination of indoor space and outdoor facilities gives planners options for both structured programmes and more informal get-togethers. The City of Oakland handles reservations, with bookings made subject to availability. Organisers can contact the Central Reservations team to ask about a site tour, rental arrangements and event requirements.

For planners comparing Oakland venues, Leona Lodge offers a practical banquet-room setting with the added benefit of a wooded location, kitchen access and an outdoor barbecue space. It is a venue rental rather than a full-service caterer, so organisers can select their own food provider and plan the event around the facilities available.
