I really hate adding 1 🌟 because as a kid I loved this park! I was so excited when we bought our house and moved back to bring my own kids here especially after the remodel and reopening only to be disappointed. I feel the park in general has really been neglected and looks more like a prison with all the bars and locked gates and graffiti. The backside near the tennis courts/soccer area has tents, abandoned cars and trash that has been there unmoved for over a year or two and nothing is done about it. How is this supposed to be inviting to kids or the community? How do people feel safe being there? The community deserves better! Oakland can do better! Look at parks in other areas and you will see the difference. Unexceptional and a waste of a great new space. Hopefully things change soon for the kids that need it..

I dj'd the grand reopening! Community members, city officials, and dignitaries alike were in attendance. Beautiful renovation that was long overdue for a legendary rec center that I grew up literally around the corner from!

I'm a member of a seniors group that meets here, it's a really nice place, new building, nowhere near adequate parking though. The parking is becoming an issue now, showed up yesterday for our senior group meeting and the parking lot was padlocked and inaccessible to us, had to park across international boulevard and walk to the center, not safe leaving our cars out there.
