We recently received exciting news from the Friends of Lincoln Square Park in downtown Oakland. Planning is underway for a new recreation center!
The Friends of Lincoln Square Park support programs and community partnerships at the park’s recreation center, which includes the creation of a new facility to meet the growing needs for public gathering space in Chinatown and the surrounding neighborhood.
You can join the Friends of Lincoln Square Park and the City of Oakland for community meetings on December 8 and 9 where architects will share conceptual drawings for a new recreation center developed with input from a community-based project advisory committee.
“We are excited to work with the City of Oakland and the Oakland Parks and Recreation Foundation,” says co-founder Tiffany Eng, “Together, we can ensure that the recreation center continues to be a safe, joyful and inclusive place for generations to come.”
The Friends of Lincoln Square Park are one of close to 100 community groups fiscally-sponsored by the Oakland Parks and Recreation Foundation. To learn more, visit friendsoflincolnsquarepark.org.
