It would be nice if the city of Oakland would clean it up. Anf yes I meant park and rec plus the people. The garbage needs to be dumped. But not all of the trash was by the garbage can. We have to do better.

Sadly due to covid the baseball field was closed. Also seems like the basketball hoops have been removed probably also due to covid. Still that being said it was beautiful and a lot of space to enjoy. Plenty of families there keeping a safe distance enjoying the weather.

Cool spot had the park to myself for a couple hours park is not for beginners in my opinion drop ins are very steep and obstacles are also high and spacing between them seems very narrow

West Oakland has seen better days. To be fair, the skate park is all the way legit; an urban skaters paradise. Come to think of it, the kids play area was well maintained, with that recycled rubber surfacing that really works to soften the hard landing. Im switching to Four Stars!

Renamed Little Bobby Hutton Park. Has a dope skatepark that works for little ones in the morning but not so much later on in the day. Life is Living Festival hosted every October here too. Where the BPP would run their workouts at, this park has deep roots in resistence. Love this park.

It is a nice place for kids and families. But it needs some more attention in cleaning and maintenance of playgrounds. The foam carpet on the swing area needs to be renewed or changed.

This park was hazardous to my kids playing here. There is very poor maintenance there’s a caterpillar infestation. I’ve never seen anything like it, almost every trash can we’re covered with them. The caterpillars were hanging on webs from trees, So you had to be careful where you walked and we had to keep food covered at all times because they were falling. We sat coolers on the ground with our beverages and an hour after being there the bottom of the cooler were covered with them. I would NEVER RECOMMEND this park. It’s THE WORST BY FAR!!!!!!

Ms. Terry, Mr. Henry, and Ms. Val are awesome and great to work with. There are a few more staff whose name I cannot recall that are awesome too. It is the small percentage of the other staff that make them get 3 stars.

Oakland Black Cowboy Association really make DeFremery Park one of Oaklands finest cultural gathering of the city. For more that 42 years on the first Saturday in October, DeFremery Park has been the host of OBCAs annual parade and festival. Great family fun and excellent food, oh, yes the beautiful horses too. What I love about DeFremery Park, is the fact that its a PEOPLEs Park and NO DOGS ALLOWED. I love dogs.
