UC Berkeley has closed People's Park for the construction of urgently needed student housing and permanent supportive housing for formerly unhoused people. The project will also preserve and revitalize more than 60% of the site as public park space.
People's Park is not presently available for any use by the general public. Access is limited to those directly involved with construction of the new housing and park space. Trespassing is prohibited.
When construction of the new housing is completed, the open space component of the housing project will be open to use by the general public.
