The reopening of the Tomás Melero-Smith Park in East Oakland marked the celebration of the $5 million Mini Parks Beautification Project, aimed at revitalizing nine small parks across the city. Funded by Caltrans' Clean California grant, the project introduced new play equipment, upgraded infrastructure, and greenery facilitating better access. The refurbished spaces aim to provide safe recreational areas for families while honoring the memory of Tomás Melero-Smith, a young community leader who was committed to supporting local youth before his untimely death.
"This project not only revamps our community parks but also honors the legacy of Tomás Melero-Smith, a young man whose contribution to local youth was invaluable."
"The Mini Parks Beautification Project was a combined effort that brought together community voices, city officials, and funding to create safe and engaging spaces for our families."
