Mission Statement

A community of Oakland residents helping to make Driver Park the centerpiece of a vibrant, healthy North Oakland neighborhood.

Description

This summer a great group of North Oakland residents are organizing to help clean up Driver Park, a thin sliver of green space near Adeline and MLK.

It's the kind of place that one often misses in the rush of life, a few trees, some grass and some benches. But together, we can make Driver Park the center of our community.

Our goals are:

  • Stay inclusive: Encourage all communities to use the park
  • Encourage use: Keep it clean, keep it safe
  • Continue to reach out to other community members: Bring in more people to involve them in the process and use

If you care about Oakland, and want to meet some great folks while making a difference, join us! Click the 'I want to help button' and we'll get back to you with information about how to join our Google Group and get connected to the activities.
