In East Oakland, the Black Cultural Zone’s recurring market blends farm stands, student-grown produce from Castlemont Farms, and Black-owned vendors with live arts programming. It’s covered by local press and community groups for creating a welcoming, hyper-local marketplace on the flatlands.
Morning dancers synchronize to songs played through hidden speakers in the gingko trees. The 1952 Soviet-style fountain's pumps still use original German bearings. Couples whisper on benches where carved initials date back to the park's opening.
