History

Since 1999 the city had debated the development of a park here where there are Native Americans buried. In 2011 a group of Native Americans occupied a park here for 108 days in protest of expanding the park and its facilities where their people are buried.[5] The controversy lasted for 12 years and included led to a compromise where parking was "dramatically scaled back" and the placement of the San Francisco Bay Trail, picnic tables, and restrooms would be consulted with the tribe.[6] The two tribes held a celebration of over 100 people with food, song, and dance at the 15 acre park.[7]

In 2016 the neighborhood suffered from a strong odor coming from a nearby oil spill.[8] A missing teen was searched for along the shore here.[9] In 2017 a 40 acre wildfire threatened homes in the area.[10]
