Arroyo Viejo Recreation Center

Arroyo Viejo Recreation Center (AVRC) (meaning Old Creek in Spanish) is located in one of the largest and most beautiful parks in the City of Oakland. Our park features a lively creek, picnic areas, a community garden, and much more. We are located next to East Oakland Pride Elementary School and four blocks from Markham Elementary School. Our center and park are equipped with a field for football/soccer, three kids play areas, a courtyard area, meeting rooms, craft and game rooms, outdoor basketball courts, baseball & softball fields, and a recording studio. We have bilingual staff members to help our Spanish-speaking community members. We are also an ADA Inclusion Center.
