A group bike ride to the MLK Jr. Regional park, creek clean up, and party in the park

Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline

Come and join us as we celebrate the 4th Annual CA Clean Air Day. California Clean Air Day is built on the idea that shared experiences unite people to action to improve our community health. By joining together for a unified day of action we can create new habits to clear the air for all members of California’s diverse communities.This three part event consists of a bike ride starting from Liberation Park, a clean up at the intersecting creek, and a resource fair with free food, music and raffles. Feel free to RSVP even if you can only join us for one part of the event.The East Oakland Collective (EOC) has taken the Clean Air Day Pledge in partnership with the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD), Oakland Dept of Transportation (OakDOT), Higher Ground, and additional community based organizations to unite East Oakland communities to highlight biking as a cleaner option to access Martin Luther King Jr. Shoreline. Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline is a 748-acre park located in deep East Oakland near Oakland International Airport and bordered by San Leandro Bay. A beautiful green space to enjoy self, nature, water activities and more.
