Author Talk + Demo With Joyce Tang Of Bake Sum
Rockridge BART Parking Lot is the paved surface lot right next to the Rockridge BART station in Oakland’s Rockridge neighborhood, just off College Avenue. It is a standard transit parking lot with painted stalls, pay stations, and a steady flow of commuters on weekdays. Expect cars coming and going, some shade from scattered trees, and the usual station noise from trains, buses, and traffic.

For events, parts of the lot are coned off and turned into an open-air gathering space. The Wardrobe Project Flea uses it as a vintage and makers market, with rows of pop-up tents for vendors selling vintage and Y2K clothing, home decor, jewelry, and small accessories, including low-priced $1 and $5 bins. Bike East Bay runs Adult & Teen Learn-to-Ride workshops here as well, setting up a practice area for people who are new to bicycling or returning to it. During these events, visitors are walking through the aisles between parked cars and vendor or activity areas, so it can feel busy but still informal.
The lot is directly adjacent to the Rockridge BART station, which serves as a transit hub for the neighborhood and connects easily to the rest of Oakland and Berkeley. Rockridge itself is a walkable district with shops, cafes, and Rockridge Market Hall clustered along College Avenue a short walk from the lot. Inside the station, a large tile mural depicts the 1991 Oakland Hills firestorm, which gives a bit of local history context to the otherwise utilitarian surroundings.
