Date: OngoingLocation: 6104 Adeline Street, Oakland, CA 94608
Description: This summer a great group of North Oakland residents are organizing to help clean up Driver Park, a thin sliver of green space near Adeline and MLK. It's the kind of place that one often misses in the rush of life, a few trees, some grass and some benches. But together, we can make Driver Park the center of our community. By painting benches, cleaning curbs, doing basic gardening, and making plans to add a lot of great community items to the park.
