The Piedmont Avenue Neighborhood Improvement League (PANIL) is an association of residents in Oakland founded in 1974 to provide a voice for the neighborhood in matters related to city planning and the character of the area.
The neighborhood is a 40 square block region bounded by Broadway, Mac Arthur Boulevard, Oakland Avenue and the City of Piedmont. In addition to the City of Piedmont (northeast), it is bordered by the following neighborhoods: Rockridge (northwest), Temescal (west), Mosswood (southwest), Richmond Boulevard (south and southwest), and the Greater Mandana and Rose Garden (east).
PANIL sends a monthly newsletter with matters of interest to those living and working in the area. See all past issues here.
