The City of Oakley announced Monday it has launched a survey to assist in the selection of a name for the creation of a 55-acre park located 1/2 mile north of Cypress Road on Sellers Avenue.
The estimated cost of the park is over $50 million, requiring a phased approach as well as seeking grants and partners. In April, the City of Oakley held a series of community meetings to seek input on what should be included in the park.
Oakley admits it will be several years before the property is open to the public, but the City is now in the process of considering the desires of the community as we determine what features should be developed as part of the park.
Name Options include:
- Emerald Park of Oakley
- Oakley Regional Park at Dutch Slough
- Oakley Regional Park
- Oakley Shores Regional Park
- Submit your own idea
The deadline to submit a name is July 8, 2019.

This is easy, in the end it will be called Bryan Montgomery Community Park because that is how incompetent our city council is. All these names are terrible and the city pushed this thing through so quickly they never gave citizens a real opportunity to provide input.
LMAO I was thinking this same thing before I even clicked on the article!
How about.. Oakley’s Sherwood Forrest “a nice park paid for by jacked up HOMEOWNERS TAXES”
50 Million dollars? This is crazy!
Big park- I get why 50 mil, but if it meant having lower taxes I would say we should skip it. My $500/ month in property taxes is obnoxious- not to mention all of the other things I’m nickel and dimed on (bag tax anyone?).
I have a GREAT idea! Lets build more self storage and gas stations…
Oakley’s Gateway to the Delta Park
Montgomery is a Crook Park?
Montgomery Has Ruined Oakley Wetlands??
At Least its Not a Cigarette Store Park??
Not Another 7-11 Recreation Area?
Randy “Imminent Domain, for sidewalk” Pope, Park………..that even makes sense……

50 million dollars! We should name the park Chelsea Clinton Park
Mark Gilbert Park
