Oak to Ninth Area Parks
in Development
 The
City of Oakland Estuary Policy Plan calls for three major parks on Port
of Oakland land near the mouth of the Lake Merritt channel, and Measure
DD included partial funding for acquisition and development of these
parks:
Estuary Park
Channel Park (AKA Meadow Park)
9th Ave Terminal Park
Estuary Park currently exists and is open to the public, though the park
is not in the enhanced form planned by Measure DD. Neither of the
other two parks exists.
Plans call for Bay Trail connections along the shoreline of this region.

Status
The Port of Oakland is now proposing to sell the land that incorporates
this park space to a private developer for the Oak
to Ninth commercial mixed-used project. The Oak to Ninth plans
include park area generally similar to those originally planned, though
smaller. That project is now in the permissions and planning
stages. It has been the subject of a lawsuit and is currently on
hold pending resolution of a court order finding the project EIR to be
deficient. As a consequence of the court order, previous
governmental permissions have been revoked.
When construction proceeds, the project
and its parks will be built out over the next 15 years under the terms of
a development agreement between the developer and the City
of Oakland.
