The wealthiest city in Alameda County, Piedmont is small (1.7 square miles) with a tiny commercial area and a population of about 11,000. It boasts fine, expensive homes on manicured, tree-lined streets. The schools are among the highest scoring in the state. Perched in the East Bay hills, Piedmont is very family oriented, with lots of sports and activity classes, especially for children. Piedmont has several parks and a community center. Dracena Park features a play structure and two sets of swings, a climbing wall, a waterfall faucet for the sand area, and a cement slide built into a grassy manmade hill. A commuter town, it relies on Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco for culture and entertainment. The commercial district in the center of town along Highland Avenue includes a gas station, three banks and a grocery store and cafe named Mulberry's Market. A small number of commercial enterprises also line Grand Avenue near the southern Oakland border.
