This is the project page for the new Palm Ave Community Park. This future 13-acre park is envisioned to serve the needs of the entire Fremont community. Based on the community input from the 2022 Parks and Recreation Master Plan and City-adopted design guidelines, it is anticipated that Palm Ave Community Park will generally include amenities such as sports fields, sport-courts, passive lawn play areas, playgrounds, picnic areas, connecting sidewalks and landscape areas.

Fremont, “Community Parks” are larger parks that extend beyond the neighborhood level to serve citywide recreational needs by providing a combination of active sports and open spaces at parks similar in size to Palm Ave Community Park such as Warm Springs, Irvington, Sylvester Harvey, Nordvik, Marshall and Los Cerritos Community Parks. Community parks also include additional amenities like restrooms and parking lots.

The Palm Ave site faces some design considerations that may not apply to other Community Parks. It is through the design, environmental, and mitigation processes that concerns such as traffic, parking, park access, and the analysis of community-desired appropriate amenities are reviewed before being recommended to City Council for final Master Plan approval.

Community input continues to help shape the park design and determine park amenities.

Over 1,600 community members shared feedback through a community survey and outreach events, with findings presented to the Recreation Commission on September 3. A second community survey generated an additional 1,123 responses. Results from Survey #2 and the Draft Master Plan will be presented at a future Recreation Commission meeting, anticipated in April of 2026.

As part of the project’s implementation phase, a bid opening for the demolition of remaining structures, with exception to the barn, was held on October 30, 2025. The project was awarded by City Council on December 2, 2025. Construction demolition is planned for Spring 2026.

    Fremont residents asked 7 months ago

    Thank you for your message and for sharing your concern about the geese at Central Park.

    Our maintenance team conducts regular cleanups to manage goose droppings and maintain the park as effectively as possible. However, geese are a protected species, and full removal is not feasible. We have implemented mitigation measures such as fencing, visual deterrents, and egg addling to help control future goose populations.

    We recognize this is a regional issue affecting many parks and open spaces, and we are actively exploring additional solutions.

    Thank you for your question. A direct connection to Mission Creek Trail is still undertermined.  Connecting to this trail via Palm Ave Community Park will require an agreement with SFPUC Hetch Hetcy. This will be considered at a later date to ensure alignment with the Active Transporation and the Trail Strategy Plan.
