In 2019, the Park District purchased a building next to their headquarters at 2955 Peralta Oaks Court to house its Public Safety Division and administrative staff. The building will provide space for police, fire, and administrative staff. The Park District is developing internal renovation plans for the building with work expected to begin in 2024.

The Park District’s Proposed 2023 Budget Available to the Public Mid-November
The restitution of the Port Chicago 50 is necessary to amend the wrongful trial and conviction of fifty African American sailors for mutiny in connection with their service at the Port Chicago Naval Magazine in Concord, California during World War II. The Port Chicago 50 were demanding their unsafe working conditions be addressed before returning to work. An action throughout labor history many employees have taken, particularly when lives are at risk. Being subjected to military law, the men, now known as the Port Chicago 50, were prejudicially and wrongfully denied that right. Exoneration is needed to rectify and acknowledge the actions committed by the fifty men were not wrong, rather they were necessary.
