UPDATE - April 7, 2025. The Sobrante Field RFP is now posted. Scroll down to the Documents section and click on "RFP Sobrante Field" for a description of the proposal. Quality athletic fields across Oakland are in high demand, and the impact of sports activities exceeds current citywide maintenance capacity. To keep up with demand and expand on quality recreational facilities and services, the City of Oakland Parks, Recreation & Youth Development (OPRYD) department proposes seeking qualified organizations to lease underperforming athletic fields in Oakland while preserving public access. To improve equitable access to recreational activities in historically marginalized and underserved communities, the City has, in collaboration with Oakland Unified School District (OUSD), chosen Sobrante Field in east Oakland as the field for solicitation for proposals for the lease and maintenance of property.
This page will continue to be updated with information on the project and process. For more immediate questions and comments, please email Quincy Williams at QWilliams@oaklandca.gov
