RecreationandParkCommission | 2022-03-10 | 11 | Ms. Adrienne Alexander Chair of the City of Alameda Recreation & Park Commission Mr. Eric Robbins Vice Chair of the City of Alameda Recreation & Park Commission Ms. Philly Jones Ms. Tara Navarro Ms. Alice Nguyen Commissioners of the City of Alameda Recreation & Park Commission Alameda City Hall 2263 Santa Clara Ave. Alameda, CA 94501 Madame Chair, My name is Raine Allen Pagud. I am a 12th grade student at Encinal High School. I live in Alameda and I visit and enjoy the parks that we have. I learned about the new parks that are waiting to be named in particular about the Alameda Landing Waterfront Park that the Bohol Circle, Inc. is proposing to be named Bohol Circle Immigrant Landing or Bohol Circle Crossing of Hope. Which I am so glad is happening. I am happy to hear that the City is finally wanting to name a park that will reflect its diversity and inclusiveness. As an immigrant youth, I envision a city that values the history and contributions of people from another country who has made Alameda home and actively makes it a city to be proud of since the people see and experience the richness in diversity and acceptance of differences. Coming to Alameda myself as a Filipino immigrant in 2009, I was welcomed with open arms from different individuals in the island, thus, I believe that this amazing city should mirror the families living in it. With this new name, there would be an increase of cultural sensitivity in our community. As always, through representation we are stepping towards an environment of peace and broadening of perspectives of future generations. I see that to bring out our humanity is the way to live a life where we all can pursue happiness and prosperity. Please include the name, Bohol Circle Immigrant Landing and Bohol Circle Crossing of Hope in the short list. Respectfully, Raine A. Pagud A Filipino Immigrant and Alameda Resident since 2009 510-206-7966 | RecreationandParkCommission/2022-03-10.pdf |
