Oakland's Mosswood Recreation Center reopens with new state-of-the-art facility 10 years after fire

""It's so beautiful," said Oakland resident Thu Ban Perry, who brought her son to explore the space on opening day. "It's so eyecatching -- so much light, natural elements. It's really beautiful. I think people will love coming into this space.""

""Congratulations, Mosswood," rang out during the ceremony, marking a long-awaited homecoming for a community asset many feared might never return."

Mosswood Park has reopened its Community Recreation Center after nearly a decade of absence following a fire in 2016. The new facility features modern design elements, including floor-to-ceiling windows and open spaces that encourage community engagement. Residents expressed joy and nostalgia during the ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the return of a vital community asset. The center is designed for both recreation and learning, offering various programs and spaces that cater to the needs of the community.
