Lincoln Square Park featured in Oakland Chinatown Panel

On October 24, 2020, the Oakland Asian Cultural Center and East Wind Books Multicultural Services co-presented an online panel on Oakland Chinatown, currently at a critical turning point. Friends of Lincoln Square Park co-founder, Tiffany Eng, spoke about her connection to Chinatown and talked about our vision for a new, larger building. Read her comments in full. 

The event was named: Chinatown Today, Chinatown Tomorrow. Panelists shared their thoughts on the issues affecting our historic neighborhood and how we can address them. Click on their names to skip to their presentation.

Moderator (4:29) William Gee Wong presents a historical perspective and then is joined by (15:27) Ted Dang (Commercial broker/developer, also EBALDC co-founder), (31:26) Alvina Wong (APEN Campaign & Organizing Director), (46:47) Tiffany Eng (Friends of Lincoln Park co-founder), and (57:02) Joyce Pisnanont (CAPACD Director of Economic Empowerment). Panelists discuss complex, interwoven factors such as immigration and gentrification trends affecting Oakland Chinatown. Learn from their expertise and lived experiences as well as discover local resources and ways to support Oakland Chinatown today and tomorrow.

This event was part of OACC's “Community Voices to Empower Change” series. This project was made possible with support from California Humanities, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Lincoln Rec included in the City's Capital Improvement Plan

We did it! 

Thanks to our advocacy, persistence and CIP proposal, the City of Oakland adopted our newest budget and Capital Improvement Plan and included a new recreation center as one of the City's highest priorities. 

As part of the Capital Improvement Program, the City ranked all proposed projects based on a range of factors. Once scored, the Lincoln Square Park Recreation Center was the highest scoring Parks and Rec project, and one of the highest scoring (8th out of 176 projects) priorities city-wide. 

The 1.7 million set aside in our 2019-2021 budget will be used to begin the planning process and select a design firm.
