Sustainable Open Spaces for Everyone
Corica Park Open Space Project
WHY WE DO IT: The Need
Open Space Access + The Power of Sports = Opportunity
Corica Park: Corica Park is home to 333 acres of shared green space, the largest recreation and parks site in the City of Alameda. Like all municipal golf courses, it is owned by ALL city residents, but typically accessed by very few. As stewards of this land, we strive to address inequities in access to open space & sport to ensure that Corica Park serves as a vital community resource for all Alamedans.
The issue: Our public green spaces, including municipal golf courses do not reflect the diversity of today’s world.
Why is this the case? Historically excluded groups typically: 1)Live further away from outdoor recreational spaces. 2)Don’t feel ownership of public land. 3)Don’t feel welcome in these spaces.
Why is it important? Communal open spaces are critical for physical, mental, social and economic well-being. They provide safe spaces for exercise, play, learning, bonding, networking and civic engagement. Given these tremendous benefits, inequitable open space access is a pressing environmental and social justice issue.
Our Mission

Greenway Golf believes that golf courses should be sustainable open spaces for everyone.
Our mission is to unlock the potential of golf course space by harmonizing the successful operation of our golf business with ecological stewardship and community benefit through innovative, measurable environmental practices, inclusive, results-driven social initiatives and inspired design.
