[edit] What city is the park in??

An interesting question. The only reference I have available is a recent Tohomas Bros. map. Two things are clear from this map: 1) the city of Oakland lays claim to the northern half of the lake and park, and 2) San Leandro has no claim on the park. This later info is also indicated on many maps on the City of San Leandro web site, none of which show the lake or park as part of the city (for instance, http://www.ci.san-leandro.ca.us/news/neighborhoodsmap.pdf). Castro Valley, on the other hand, is an unicoproated area that does not have a defined boundry on the Thomas Bros. map but it does seem to incorporate all of the land up to at least the border of the park. The Castro Valley Wiki entry does not claim Lake Chabot Park, indicating that the park is north of Castro Valley. Until otherwise given more detailed info, I am changing the entry to read:

Lake Chabot Regional Park is a regional park located in Alameda County, CA that is part of the East Bay Regional Parks system. The northern part of the lake and park lie within the boundry of the city of Oakland, while the southern part lies in an unicoproarted area of Alameda County adjacent to Castro Valley, CA.
