Other Stuff
On April 27, over 40 community residents, youth, students, and families joined Rebuilding Together Oakland (RTO) and staff from the Office of Parks and Recreation's Manzanita Recreation Center to install a new community garden. Raised beds were installed to teach the community the importance of environmental stewardship and growing and eating healthy food. The garden is sponsored by RTO.
