- McKinley Park GiveAway

The Alameda Boys and Girls Club announced it was finalizing a deal to
takeover McKinley Park. George Phillips, the Executive Director, took
out a Use Permit for two 12 X 60 temporary buildings and the Club
announced its afterschool program would begin in McKinley just as school
started. All this without a single public hearing. But the
neighborhood organized to defend public use of public space.
The bid to occupy McKinley Park was stopped in the Recreation and
Parks Commission meeting on October 7, 2004 - for now.
