Park Maintenance Schedules
Oakland property owners pay annually, through their property taxes, into Oakland’s Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District (LLAD). LLAD funds maintain:
- Over 130 City parks and public grounds
- More than 2,300 acres of street, park and plaza landscaping, including scenic Joaquin Miller Park, Lake Merritt, and our two newest, Mandela Parkway and Union Point Park.
- Approximately 75,000 street trees
- 25 recreation, community and interpretive centers
- More than 36,000 street lights and more than 670 traffic signals
To report park facilities in need of maintenance, call the Public Works Call Center at (510) 615-5566.
The City of Oakland is making its citizens aware of how their LLAD funds are being used by providing the following Park Maintenance schedules:
- City-wide mowing information and schedule (read below)
- Restroom maintenance schedule (read below)
- Park maintenance schedule (read below)
| Please be advised that these schedules are subject to change. Some reasons why park maintenance staff may not appear to be working according to schedules include:
Equipment used for maintenance such as mowers may malfunction and systems that effect maintenance, such as irrigation systems, may malfunction as well. Weather may also be a factor. For instance, mowing is not done when the ground is saturated with rain water.
Employee schedules are subject to change due to leaves (e.g. vacation, sick leave, disability or workers' compensation). Employees may be attending mandatory safety trainings. Employees may be reassigned to cover emergencies, special projects and to backfill. Employees may work adjusted schedules to accommodate weekend events and provide volunteer support.
