Cascade Bathroom refreshed by FoJMP Volunteers!

Painting the Cascade Bathroom

FoJMP volunteers Steve Kemp and Al Clark power washed and completely repainted the Cascade Bathroom in late July. Oakland Public Works contributed some of the paint and tools for the project. It looks terrific, stop by and check it out!

This is the first of many projects we have planned for the park.

We are hikers, mountain bikers, equestrians, dog owners, cross country runners, historians, writers, and neighbors — dedicated to maintaining, preserving and enhancing the rich natural legacy of this area for all residents and visitors of Oakland to enjoy, following in the footsteps of the Lisjan Ohlone people and the late 19th Century poet and environmentalist Joaquin Miller, who lived on and loved this place in times past.
