Joseph Knowland State Arboretum and Park
Joseph Knowland State Arboretum and Park is a park located in the Grass Valley neighborhood of Oakland, California. It was formerly a state park, and is now the property of the City of Oakland. The Oakland Zoo occupies the developed western lowlands of the park, just off I-580.
==Park creation==
The parks namesake and principal founder was Joseph R. Knowland, who served on the California State Park Commission 1934-1960 and was chairman, 1938-1960. Under his influence, the State of California purchased for $660,000 on a matching grant basis. On April 30, 1948, the property became a State Park and in December of 1949, the Park was ceded to the City of Oakland with the proviso that Knowland Park always remain a public park. At this time, a portion of the property became the new site of the relocated Oakland Zoo. Joseph Knowland was honored, on the 101st California State Admission Day, September 9, 1951, by the City of Oakland, Alameda County and the State of California, with the renaming of the park to Joseph Knowland State Arboretum and Park.〔(Oakland Zoo History )〕
In 1973, the site was ceded to the City of Oakland.〔(About Oakland Parks & Recreation )〕 In 1975, management of Knowland State Park was conveyed to the City of Oakland.〔(Oakland Zoo History )〕
