empowered and continues to encourage me to seek ways to

the value of Oakland’s recreational services and park system.

Oakland Parks & Recreation’s story starts with the fact that we are a 105 year old organization. We

have over 140 parks maintained by Public Works; 66 ball fields; 44 tennis courts; 28 recreation centers -

three of which specialize in arts, music and dance; 14 rental venues; five swimming pools; 17 community

gardens; three golf courses; a digital arts and culinary center; two boating centers; one inclusionary

center; a host of programs designed for tiny tots to seniors, collectively serving over 95,000 enrolled

participants and over a million drop-in users annually.

Over the last eleven years as Director, we brought core services to you at every center citywide

to include: dance, sports, healthy snacks and after-school study hour, and exposed more children and

youth to water activities and boating opportunities. We introduced children and adult play days on the

plaza at City Hall, movies in the park, the National Backyard Overnight Campout, An Intimate Evening,

and Sundays in the Redwoods. OPR expanded sporting opportunities by hosting the Youth Games, the

Hershey North America Track and Field event, the National Public Parks Tennis Championship and

served as the home for the First Tee Program as well as three other Junior Golf programs serving

over 1,000 youth. OPR focused its energy and intentionally looked at ways to foster lifestyle changes

and attitudes of Oakland’s youth through the implementation of Radical Roving Recreation, STRIDE

(Striving To Redirect Individuals in a Difficult Environment) and the Urban Electronics Program. We

are expanding community gardens and increasing our partnerships to ensure families have healthy,

affordable and accessible produce.

We are your humble public servants and every day we serve to meet your expectations, help you

create lasting memories, and to encourage you to play with a purpose. It is our goal and desire to

continue to provide these services, however, over the last few budget cycles, OPR has experienced

significant reductions in funding and resources. In spite of this, we have sustained a quality level

of services.

Oakland Parks & Recreation Foundation (OPRF)The Friends of Oakland Parks and Recreation and the Oakland

Parks Coalition recently merged to form the Oakland Parks and

Recreation Foundation. OPRF provides financial and volunteer

resources and advocates for recreation programs and parks

in Oakland. The Foundation has a long history of providing

youth scholarships to children from all across Oakland making

it possible for them to enroll in summer camps, swim lessons,

and other recreation programs. OPRF also partners with OPR

to restore and build park facilities across Oakland, including

and most recently, the state-of-the-art skateboard park at

deFremery Park. OPRF accepts unrestricted gifts, donations to

the Youth Scholarship Fund or specific recreation centers, as

well as other specialized gifts. Visit oaklandparks.org or call

(510) 465-1850 and support your parks today!

OPR Plays with a purpose.There is a purpose for our play. Play is more than physical

activity and bouncing balls. There is a reason for our play.

Play produces great outcomes.

Our babies learn when they play;

our children are healthier

when they play. Our youth are

engaged when they play; our

families are unified when they

play. Our communities thrive when

they play with a purpose – our purpose

is to Expose, Enlighten, Empower

and Encourage Educational

Excellence through

Recreational

Experiences.

Moving forward it will be critical for OPR to enhance

our relationship with corporate America, health care

providers, local businesses, and foundations that are

concerned about obesity rates, chronic illnesses,

drop-out rates and the number of youth we are

losing to the streets – through drugs, prostitution,

and various levels of crime.

OPR acknowledges that we cannot address this

epidemic alone. Nor can we depend on the three cents

on every dollar from the General Purpose Fund received

from taxpayers to fund our programs. The department

will be introducing and recommending policies in the

areas of naming rights, donations and sponsorship. If

successful in this endeavor, these dollars will not only

support recreation programming, but funding will also

make it possible to upgrade our sports fields, and

resurface hardscape courts citywide.

Lastly, we are excited about the City’s interest in

requesting impact fees from developers. It is my hope

that parks, facilities and maintenance become a priority

when the money becomes available. I have the confidence

it will become our reality.

We are embarking on a great journey. Oakland is on the

rise; I simply request that you lend us your voice and en-

ergy to help share our story and the value of recreation,

play, parks, conservation and outdoor experiences.

Sincerely,

Director, Oakland Parks & Recreation

Every day we serve to meet your expectations, to help you create

lasting memories, and to encourage you to play with a purpose.

There’s a reason we’re called Oakland. Our beautiful city’s green spaces, parks

and recreation areas are the heart of our community. These gathering places and

the programs they afford are essential to the health, safety and vitality of our city.

Growing up in Oakland, our parks were my backyard. The same is still true today for

thousands of young people across our city, but they aren’t the only ones who need these

vital spaces. Our Parks & Recreation locations and programs are a lifeline for our seniors,

a backdrop for cultural events and a center for civic engagement.

From swim lessons to camping, sunbathing to capoeira, Oaklanders should be able to take

full advantage of all that our Parks & Recreation locations and programs have to offer. Please

join me in making sure that every Oaklander has access to these spaces and the rich array of

programming they provide. By supporting our Parks & Recreation Department as a volunteer,

program user or donor, you can keep Oakland green, healthy and safe.

Mayor, City of Oakland

Parks & Recreation Advisory Commissionu

Greetings 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

public 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.

Capital Improvement Programsu

OPR 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

funding 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.

LAKESIDE PARK SHORELINE AND SAILbOAT HOUSEPhase II of the Lakeside Park Sailboat House and Shoreline project funded by Measure DD began construction in 2014. 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.

For decades, the Day Camps offered by the City of Oakland, Parks and Recreation (OPR) have been providing a safe

environment for our children to learn, explore and just plain have fun. Activities include crafts, games, sports, science labs

and field trips. If you’re looking for something interesting to do over the Summer Break, check out OPR’s awesome range of

programs listed in this catalog. Sign your kids up for a week full of memory-making adventures and unforgettable good times!

OPR Day Camps take advantage of their beautiful natural settings to teach youth the wonders of and respect for the great outdoors

while also learning to be better stewards of their own neighborhoods and parks. Camp activities encourage youngsters to make new

friends, build their problem-solving skills, participate in a variety of sports, and develop self-confidence and self-reliance. OPR Day

Camps also serve as affordable childcare; most have programs for preschool ages and older. We also offer day camps specifically

for teens. Contact your local recreation center for details.

Starting as an OPR Counselor-in-Training (CIT) in 2008 has positively impacted my life

from learning to work with a variety of people to helping at events.

At age16, I was offered the Recreation Aide position. Now I work with children as a Recreation Leader!

Being a CIT has opened doors to develop many new skills.

program just for you! Youth build confidence in their bodies

and independent achievement, team work, and personal

responsibility from boating and sailing. Younger kids start

with pedal boats, canoes, and kayaks and then our Optimist

Prams introduce them to capturing the wind to make their

boat go. Each class builds skills and introduces new boats as

campers progress from Lake Merritt to the Oakland Estuary

and San Francisco Bay. Most week-long camps are from

9am-3:30pm. Before & After Care available for Lake Merritt

Camps. Scholarships are available for Oakland youth with

demonstrated financial need.
