To Our Parks Community,
I hope my note finds you healthy and in good spirits, while finding safe ways to be among friends and family during this winter holiday season.
Over the course of 2021, we came together to care for Oakland’s parks the way they’ve cared for all of us through the pandemic. We gathered virtually and in person to renew our connections as a community of parks people.
From Spring for Parks to the Oakland Estuary and the Parks Challenge, we collected photo highlights from this most unique year. We may have found your friends, maybe even you!
As we complete our year end fundraising, our team is grateful for our entire parks community. As a small token of our appreciation, we’ve turned our favorite photos from 2021 into a short video to share with you.
