These gathering places and Tthe programs they afford are essential to the health, safety and vitality of our city. Growing up in Oakland, our parks were my backyard.

Our Parks & Recreation locations and programs are a lifeline for our seniors, a backdrop for cultural events and a center for civic engagement.

reetings from your Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission! Our 11-member Commission advises the Oakland City Council on policies related to our parks and recreational programs. We also review plans for improvements and new facilities in our parks, and approve requests for on-site fund-raising and sales at park events. We’re a forum for Gpublic comment on important issues such as community gardens, park hours, park safety, and dog play areas. During the last year, the Commission has held public hearings on more than a dozen park improvement projects, including the creation of a conservation easement at the Oakland Zoo, community gardens at Fitzgerald Park and Concordia Park, redesign of the driving range at the Lake Chabot Golf Course, the skate park at deFremery, and a redesign of Hellman Field. We reviewed applications for more than three dozen special events, from the Oakland Running Festival to the Autumn Lights Lantern Festival. We have reached out to the community on issues such as naming rights, grilling in the parks, and dog play areas. Oakland continues to be one of the most dynamic cities in the country, with plans for thousands of new homes in the works. One of PRAC’s goals is to make sure that the City plans ahead for the new parks and recreational services that will be needed to meet this growth. In 2014, the City launched an impact fee study to make sure that development pays its way, and creates revenues for new parks and recreational facilities. Our Commission will be monitoring the impact fee study closely in the coming year. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission is a diverse group but we share one thing in common. We feel a deep connection to Oakland and recognize that parks are an essential part of what makes our city great. Please join us at our monthly meetings, held at 4:30 PM on the second Wednesday of each month at the Lakeside Park Garden Center.

PR acknowledges that the three cents on every dollar received from taxpayers through the General Purpose Fund cannot fund or sustain our programs. We know it is imperative that we look for creative and new ways to collaborate and leverage services and programs. We have been successful in securing over $28 million dollars in Ofunding over the years from state and federal grants and private corporations and patrons. In addition, through partnership with Oakland Public Works the City has obtained state grants from Proposition 84, Measure WW, and Measure DD. OPR is appreciative of support and funding from Waste Management, the Golden State Warriors, Good Tidings, Levi Strauss & Co., Local Initiative Support Corporation, and the East Bay United Soccer Organization.

In 2014, the City launched an impact fee for infrastructure study to make sure that development pays its way. We are hopeful that parks, recreation facilities and maintenance are a priority when these revenues become available. In addition, OPR is exploring the areas of Naming Rights, Gift-in-Place, and donations and sponsorship from individuals and corporations as potential funding sources to upgrade our sports fields, resurface hardscape courts citywide and enhance our recreation facilities.

The project focuses on adding new intertidal and marsh habitat, improving water quality, and increasing public access and nature education opportunities. Parking is moved away from the Lake, storm water runoff is redirected to bioswales, lake edge retaining wall is replaced, and boating access is improved with new hoists, launch ramp and dock access. A newly constructed pedestrian pathway provides access to the restored shoreline and an improved entryway / event plaza at the Sailboat House is created. Project completion is scheduled for late spring of 2015.
