Recreation facilities and parks across the country annually use July to celebrate the kick off of summer programming, as well as a time to pull their communities together to volunteer, get involved in great outdoor physical activities, and advocate for parks and recreation. As part of this year's celebration, Oakland Parks and Recreation is hosting activities throughout the month to keep the entire community active and involved, including special events, free swims, and open houses at all of our recreation centers.

From 1:00 - 4:00 get sight of the marvelous renovation of the two storied facility located at 365 45th street next to Oakland Technical High and the Temescal Pool. The depth of dedication for the last 60 years of creative educational recreation, expressive and vocational arts, have enriched so many generations who live in the San Francisco Bay area counties and beyond. Come peek into classes and labs. Get mesmerized with a magic show. Help raise the number of children participating in the Studio Art classes, by contributing $5 for 5 minutes of getting your face painted. The proceeds go into the Studio's scholarship fund. Another way to have fun that day, is to participate in designing a Studio One logo on an apron. They will be displayed in neighborhood shop windows. From 4:00 - 7:00 PM there is a shift to the Parks for Peace Pole Dedication, Dignitary Speeches, Pre-Pottery Sale and Light Refreshments. There will be a child's play area. | | | › › › | | | National Night Out Open House | | Tuesday, August 5 | | Free boat rentals - open late!
