Project Description
The District has partnered with Alameda County and the Trust for Public Land to plan and develop a community park/plaza to accommodate the needs of the Ashland community.
Ashland Zocalo has been awarded a $7.3 million grant from the Statewide Parks Program – Round 3 (Proposition 68 – State of California Parks & Water Bond 2018). The SPP grant is intended to create new parks and recreational opportunities in underserved areas.
The project includes the design and construction of recreational facilities at the 1-acre site at the corner of 166th Avenue and E 14th Street in San Leandro. A series of community meetings were held in the spring of 2019 to develop a community-driven design concept for the new park.
The final master plan includes a community space to accommodate recreational uses such as a multi-purpose lawn, play areas, fitness court, interactive fountain, shade trees, seating, picnic areas, and restrooms. The site also provides dedicated space for public safety officers, which will be further activated with attractive functions including an outdoor stage for live entertainment, commercial space through the use of an open-air market structure, flexible outdoor event space, pop-up markets, and space for food trucks and mobile services.
Construction was completed in July 2024.
