Carmen Flores Recreation Center: Josie De La Cruz Park

Join us for Soccer Skills & Drills this September at Carmen Flores Rec Center! 🥅⚡
A fun way for youth to build skills, make friends, and stay active after school.

Parks are for play, community and gathering and Carmen Flores worked to make sure every child in Oakland had access to those opportunities. 🏀📚

Carmen Flores worked tirelessly to expand youth recreation programs in Oakland. Her leadership led to the creation of the Carmen Flores Recreation Center, a hub for sports, after-school programs, and cultural celebrations in Fruitvale. Because of her, generations of families have safe and welcoming spaces to enjoy. 🌱
