Public Meeting: Design Review Committee

See the latest designs of our new Recreation and Community Resiliency Center in Oakland Chinatown

The City of Oakland discussed and shared information on the new Lincoln Square Park Center at the Design Review Committee on October 26th, 2022. The project is located at the historic Lincoln Square Park in Oakland Chinatown and will entail removing the 7,476 square-foot recreation center and construct a new, 35-foot tall, 22,221 square-foot recreation center. The project also includes the removal and construction of a new basketball court, landscaping, and outdoor furniture.  

Friends of Lincoln Square Park volunteers attended to voice our support for this City of Oakland project. Watch the recording (start at 13:00 minutes in).

This meeting followed an earlier meeting in September with the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission. The recording, presentation and passionate public comments can be viewed starting at 2 hours and 21 minutes in.

Friends of Lincoln Square Park is a volunteer-based community group supporting the City’s efforts to build a larger recreation and community resiliency center to better meet the needs of the community. We invite the public to learn more and get involved in this once-in-a-generation campaign!
