Did you know? Life before the Village: The Pavilion at San Lorenzo Grove!
When San Lorenzo Grove opened in 1893, the Hayward Journal called it the "Picnic Paradise of California." The Grove featured picnic grounds, ball fields, an outdoor bandstand, and the oak grove for which it was named. The Grove was located at Tracy and Lewelling, a few blocks from the Oakland-San Leandro-Hayward Electric Railway which ran along East 14th Street and down Lewelling to San Lorenzo. Oakland residents would take the trolley down to San Lorenzo to spend a relaxing day in the country. Or they would stay in one of the hotels in San Lorenzo for an extended vacation. Business eventually slowed by the 1920s which resulted in the sale of the Grove to M.S. Rodgers. Rodgers then closed the Grove in 1926 and used the lumber from the dance pavilion to build a house for his daughter, Mary Videll. The home is still standing on the corner of Tracy Street and Lewelling Blvd. Love our page? Like and share our enduring legacy.
