The City of Oakland Public Works Department has received this issue. It is registered as service request #655157. Please check back for status updates, or contact us directly at 510-615-5566.
Neighbor, this is a community dog park. Those of use who use it are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance. The City's only responsibility is trash bin emptying, and covering up graffiti. This was how we got the park authorized and funded.
The city needs to kick up their assistance. In this condition, the park is hardly safe for dog use and it would be a huge undertaking for a volunteer effort to resolve the foxtails. Volunteers have taken on plenty of responsibility that would fall under the public works department, throughout the city. It is not unreasonable for the public works department to help in the maintenance of safe spaces for community use.
