Estuary Park Information Resource
August 15, 2002
You can use this information to help create Estuary Park for you, your family, and your neighbors, as promised in the 1991 Alameda Master Plan. The park was conceived to include about 10 acres in the area between Clement Avenue and the Estuary, from about Walnut to Oak streets. See Maps of the Estuary Park Site.
This information explains where the Estuary Park site is located, why the city planned to build the park, what has happened so far in the effort to create it, and what you can do to help. See QUESTIONS and ANSWERS about the park and the civic process of building. The answers will inform you about what’s important and what’s happening soon. See Important contacts to find out how to let important decision makers know your opinions.
Estuary Park can become an active park on the Estuary where you and your family can participate in organized sports and similar public activities (not merely a passive mini-park used for walking or picnicing). The struggle to make the park real isn’t over yet. All of us must pull together to make it happen.
This information was gathered and assembled by members of the Estuary Park Action Committee (E.P.A.C.). They have assembled and distributed this information at their own expense.
Please read this information. We know it’s long, but it’s useful ammunition you’ll need to fight inappropriate use of land that you, your family, and your neighbors could enjoy for mutual benefit. We’re not advocating the elimination of housing, but asking for reasonable, balanced development of our City in a way that serves all our needs. We need active park space for team sports and access to our own waterfront. Estuary park is a wonderful vision serving that need. It was proposed by your City government in 1991.
