Construction of Mosswood Park Tot Lot in Oakland Completed

Community leaders, city officials and neighborhood residents inaugurated the opening of a new tot lot at Mosswood Park in Oakland, Calif., during a ribbon cutting ceremony on Aug. 26, the same day that 220 volunteers participated in the annual Mosswood Park volunteer cleanup event.
