Public will has shaped the long, narrow strip of Ohlone Park since its creation in 1969 when activists pushed for the land being cleared for underground BART tracks to be turned into a community space.
Now, the city is planning a facelift for the easternmost portion of the park, and neighbors near and far have a chance until April 9 to weigh in on the future of the block.
Residents can comment on the Ohlone Park improvements until April 9 by emailing Jesus Espinoza, Berkeley’s Parks’ assistant civil engineer.
