It is surrounded by parkland and city neighborhoods. It is historically significant as the United States' first official wildlife refuge, designated in 1870, and has been listed as a National Historic Landmark since 1963, and on the National Register of Historic Places since 1966. The lake features grassy shores; several artificial islands intended as bird refuges; an interpretive center called the Rotary Nature Center at Lakeside Park; a boating center where sailboats, canoes and rowboats can be rented and classes are held; and a fairy tale themed amusement park called Children's Fairyland. A popular walking and jogging path runs along its perimeter.[4] The circumference of the lake is 3.4 miles (5.5 km) and its area is 155 acres (63 ha).[5] The dining and shopping in the Lake Merritt area draw people from near and far, to come enjoy the unique offerings put forth by local chefs and artisans.
