Robert Doyle, the general manager of the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) who has worked in the district for 47 years, is retiring at the end of this month, the district announced.
During Doyle’s GM tenure, the EBRPD has more than doubled in size in acreage, parks and trails. The district’s acreage has grown from 59,689 to 125,186, making EBRPD the nation’s largest regional park system. Locally, Doyle was noted for helping to win a 20-year battle along the Richmond shoreline that included the creation of Dotson Family Marsh near Point Pinole, and for incrementally closing gaps in the San Francisco Bay Trail, among other accomplishments.
