Partnerships & Park Activation Support
Working together for equitable access, environmental justice and thriving neighborhoods
Through community partnerships and advocacy, OPRF supports efforts across Oakland that restore, activate, and care for local parks and public spaces. Recent and ongoing projects include:
Partnering to restore creek health, beautify, and reconnect community with nature
As part of Oakland’s Measure DD Initiative, this restoration project was designed to improve creek habitat and water quality, stabilize eroding banks, and reduce trash and illegal dumping. It also aims to enhance climate resilience and park aesthetics while creating an educational and recreational resource for the community. The project was made possible through partnerships with OPRF, Friends of Courtland Creek, the Melrose Neighborhood Council, local schools, and funding from state and federal agencies.
