Our Oakland participated in the 2nd annual CBE Love Yo’ Mama Earth Day Health Fair in East Oakland last Saturday, April 24th. Part of the all day Communities for a Better Environment Earth Day celebration, the health fair took place on the campuses of ACORN Woodland Elementary and Encompass Academy, right next to the new East Oakland Community Library at 81st Avenue, currently in development. The Our Oakland story portal and kiosk will reside there when it opens.

In honor of its 75th anniversary, the East Bay Regional Park District proudly announces a new online video titled “Inspiration and Promise, East Bay Parks at 75.” Produced and narrated by Doug McConnell through his production company, Convergence Media, the 10-minute video highlights the Park District’s many parks and trails along with its unique history. Told in short vignettes, a highlight of the video includes local personalities who talk about using the parks and how this inspires them.
