Thank you for Keeping Oakland Beautiful!

It would be great if this issue were corrected soon. The longer it remains, the longer it gives the impression to individuals/gangs that the tagging is effective marking of territory.

City of Oakland Public Works Department addressed this issue on 07/01/2016, service request #646522.

Last night around 8:40 PM, 3 men teens/early 20's started a loud craps game in the center of the park near the low wall & the playground. A pair of boys wearing white shirts & dark pants (looked like school uniforms) with back packs cut through the park toward Allendale; one continued on but the second joined the craps game. I called OPD non-emergency twice, once about 8:50 PM and again about 9:30 PM. I also left a message for the neighborhood patrol officer on her cell phone. No response. It's possible that this activity is linked to the graffiti on the play structure.
