Anthony Chabot Regional Park

Sprawling across the hills of Oakland is Anthony Chabot Regional Park, almost 5,000 acres of preserved land that includes a tranquil lake for canoeing and fishing and 31 miles of hiking and riding trails through eucalyptus groves and chaparral-cloaked slopes. Out-of-towners often pronounce Chabot to rhyme with "rabbit," a population of which bounds through meadows here. But the correct pronunciation is sha-BO.
