Open Space Initiatives

sThe Fruitvale district is one of Oakland 's most densely populated neighborhoods with a high concentration of children but few parks and open spaces. The Unity Council addresses the lack of parks and recreational assets, utilizing a community stewardship model to sustain new and improved assets for the future. Development has been completed at the premier 9-acre waterfront park at Union Point on the Oakland estuary, along with park redesign at Josie de la Cruz Park. Plans for youth-driven improvements to Foothill Meadows Park , recently renamed in honor of César E. Chávez, and redevelopment of the Fruitvale Plaza Park on International Boulevard and 35th Avenue are currently underway.
