The Oakley Press is PrOud TO present the 2012 Best of Oakley as voted

by our readers. Inside you’ll find around 150 categories describing the best places to get your car fixed, find a meal for under $10 or take a visitor to show off your home town. Who are the snappiest pizza delivery guys, who’s a reliable electrician, and where should you go to get those pearly whites polished? You’ll find them right here.

As Oakley’s population continues to grow, the options for where to get the things you need and want can get bewilderingly large, too. Take the advice of your friends and neighbors who cast thousands of votes for their favorite spots and use this lineup to find the best goods and services Oakley has to offer. If you were among our dedicated voters, compare your picks with those of your fellow balloteers – you might find some gems you didn’t know existed.

Look for the distinctive Best of Oakley 2012 star on the door of local establishments and know they’ve been painstakingly singled out as the stars of the community.

Welcome to the Best

every year, we wait on the receiving end of all those Best

of Oakley ballots like surfers paddling prostrate on their boards, bracing for the monster wave building up and bearing down on them. We know we’re

about to take a wild ride – and we wouldn’t have it any other way. thousands of votes were cast by you and meticulously counted by us. thanks to everyone who took the time to fill out a ballot, three of whom were

plucked in a random drawing, earning the winners a $50 gift certificate to a local restaurants. a big “bon appetit” to Lynda Ortman, Matthew Laflamme and Julie Wayne. Congratulations, everyone!

not all Best of Oakley stars can be slapped onto an office entrance or

pinned onto a jacket lapel. Call them matters of lifestyle. They range from praiseworthy accomplishments to sublime scenes, from Best Government Spending to Best View in Town. And our readers were enthusiastic about their choices.

The Best Government Spending award went to the city’s approximately 30 parks, which provide Oakleyites a welcome sanctuary and playground. To view the city’s impressive lineup of parks, visit www.thepress.net and check out the East County Guide 2012 under Special Editions, p. 57.

Our readers named City Hall as Oakley’s Best-looking Building. Located at 3231 Main St. in Civic Center Plaza – the anchor for the revitalization and beautification of Oakley’s historic downtown – City Hall was completed between 2006 and 2007. It houses the Oakley Police Department, Council Chambers and administrative offices in a magnificent 25,000-square-foot space. If you haven’t checked out City Hall by now, drop by for a City Council meeting. You’ll exercise your civic prerogatives and enjoy good architectural scenery at the same time.

Also winning recognition for Best-looking Building was Diamond Hills Sports Club and Spa at 1510 Neroly Road. Diamond Hills is a beautifully designed, well-appointed private club that includes 17 tennis courts, a three-pool, two-spa aquatics complex plus large recreation and picnic area. The 57,000-square-foot club houses a 17,000-square-foot fitness center, two group exercise rooms, group cycling studio, full-court gymnasium, Kids’ Club, Children’s Play Center, Youth Exercise Center and luxurious locker rooms complete with steam and sauna. The 3,500-square-foot full-service European day spa is open to the public and features seven luxurious treatment rooms.

The Best News in 2011-12 was the opening in August of 2011 of Fire Station 93, located on 530 O’Hara Ave. The 9,000-square-foot facility, which includes

an apparatus bay for three engines, living quarters and an emergency operations and training center, sits on land purchased from the Romiti family, whose patriarch, Albert Romiti, lived on the land all his life and served as a volunteer firefighter. A

memorial plaque bearing Romiti’s name and the names of dozens of volunteer firefighters appears on the Station 93 Firefighter Memorial, which was transferred from the station’s former Second Street location.

Most of the Lifestyle awards

read like the itinerary of a proud resident showing off Oakley’s prime attractions. No self-respecting tour guide would dream of omitting from the agenda a walk in the Best Park, Best View in Town and Best Place To Show a Visitor – all of which our readers believe should lead straight to the Big Break Regional Shoreline, where Oakleyites – and folks from around the Bay Area – go fishing, birdwatching, picnicking or simply savoring the refreshing Delta breezes. Among Big Break’s many attractions are the Delta Science Center and Delta Discovery Experience – a large-scale interactive map of the Delta – plus programs conducted by the East Bay Regional Park District highlighting the Delta’s magnificent wildlife

and ecosystems.Big Break can also be used as a

springboard to The Best Place To Walk a Dog, which our readers identified as the Marsh Creek Trail. The trail is fully paved – a helpful feature during our rainy season – and accessible not just at Big Break but at several points along the trail’s meander south into Brentwood, including neighborhoods along the shoreline and along Marsh Creek from Cypress Road down to Delta Road. In addition to dog walkers, you’ll cross paths on the Marsh Creek Trail with plenty of runners, skaters, cyclists – and folks out for a simple leisurely stroll.

Our Most Community-minded Company? That would be Imaginations Preschool, the first-place winner of our Daycare category and a place where young minds are inspired to pursue a lifetime of learning. Also named as a stalwart of the community is Stonecrest Lending, winner

of our Best Loan Officer and Best Mortgage Office categories. Stonecrest’s Lynda Ortman, to name just one example, has served as a volunteer with Special Olympics and served our elderly community with Meals-On-Wheels.
