Mosaics at the Park
Many Maxwell Park neighbors, local students and others joined forces to create beautiful mosaic murals on the restroom walls, and within the sand play lot in the park. These were created over a span of five years, during the summer months. The work was led by experienced mosaic artists, and the rest of us pitched in to learn how to work in tile. We hope you enjoy the beauty and can see the joy that went into this effort!

Day in the Park
Although it began as a neighborhood event, it has become well known throughout our city. In 2015, we marked the 10th anniversary celebration of the event and had the honor of a visit by Congresswoman Barbara Lee who presented us with a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition for Maxwell Park’s Day in the Park.
“Day in the Park” is made possible only through generous donations and through our dedicated volunteers. Surrounding neighborhoods, local businesses, OPD, OFD, our City Council member, our Mayor, and many others come to take part each.
Each year we strive to make the event bigger and better than the year before and, to that end, it continues to grow and flourish. Most important is that this event brings our community and surrounding communities together and provides a perfect opportunity for us to get to know each other and exchange ideas. Our goal is to help build a greater sense of community and embrace our diversity.
