I subscribe to the listserve for our District. And yes bf makes fun of me for that. But if I didn't, we would miss such awesome news such as a new dog park in Oakland:

SAVE THE DATE!!!

EAT PLAY-BARK @ Jefferson Square Park!

Hi Neighbors!

Get ready for...... EAT-PLAY-BARK @ Jefferson Square Park!!


Please save Saturday, November 20th, 11-2pm for a community potluck and party at Jefferson Park (7th and MLK)!!! (Rain Date: Dec 4th)


As you may have noticed, Jefferson Park has recently received a major much needed face lift. New improvements include a big and little dog park, new basketball court, and a brand new fenced in tot lot area. Since it's not everyday our neighborhood gets a new park, Old Oakland Neighbors, in partnership with Oakland Parks and Recreation, Council member Nadel's office, the Oakland Redevelopment Agency, and the Oakland Dog Owners Group (ODOG) are planning for a fun-filled afternoon. The goal of the event is to bring the Old Oakland and Oakland dog owner community together to celebrate and publicize Oakland's newest tot lot and dog run. Mark your Calendars!!

-Playground games

-Plant exchange

-Dog vendors & Parade



What to Bring:

-yourself, your family, your neighbors, and your dog

-a food dish to share

This is a community and volunteer led event, with in-kind support from the City of Oakland, so please let me know if you're interested in volunteering. We will need help with setup, hosting duties during the event, and cleanup. More details to follow.


Sincerely,


Tiffany
