We began our journey to save Astro Park in December of 2010. That journey officially and finally came to an end yesterday, August 5th 2014. Astro Park is...saved. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped to keep this park open, green and unfenced. We could not have done it without you!

Coming to City Council for a consideration on March 18th: Ordinance Expanding Park Areas Permitting Dogs From: Department Of Parks And Recreation Recommendation: Adopt An Ordinance Amending Section 6.04.080 Of The Oakland Municipal Code, Dogs At Large In Parks, To Designate Additional Areas As Permitted On-Leash And Off-Leash Areas.

What does this mean for Astro Park? Dogs will be allowed on-leash and the park will remain open, green and unfenced. There are many other parks where dogs will also be allowed on-leash and a few off-leash areas as well.
