Thesis Statement As Oakland continued to grow, parks began to be considered as an essential public infrastructure in the early 1900s. However, not every city park has received the same level of attention and investment. Due to regional characteristics, areas with fewer parks are often close to industrial areas, freeways and areas covered by harmful gasses. This problem is particularly evident in the West Oakland area of Oakland, California.

According to the research and studies, the health conditions of the West Oakland population are influenced by the environment and the lack of exercise, resulting in higher rates of asthma, high blood pressure, COPD and heart disease. The life expectancy of the residents in West Oakland is much shorter than the residents living in other parts of Oakland.

The lack of public exercising spaces in the parks in West Oakland does not guarantee people’s daily outdoor exercise and becomes one of the factors affecting people’s physical and mental health at the same time.The design aims to provide the community with exercising spaces and facilities at the appropriate location that help local residents get more exposure to exercise, to improve physical and mental health. To reduce the project footprint, stacking the programs will be necessary which also allows a new park to be built around the project.
