Berkeley Proposes Renaming North Waterfront Park ‘Sí Se Puede Park’

BERKELEY, Calif. — October 27, 2026. Berkeley’s Parks, Recreation and Waterfront Commission recommended renaming a park at the northern end of the Berkeley Waterfront as ‘Sí Se Puede Park’ in an item on the October 27 City Council agenda.

What the plan includes

The proposed name means ‘Yes, it can be done’ or ‘Yes, we can’ in Spanish. A new city park name typically affects maps, signs and official references, but a renaming action does not necessarily change the park’s boundaries, operating hours, access rules or management.

What remains open

The city council was asked to adopt a resolution, and finalized voting records were not independently verified at publication. We therefore describe it as a proposal rather than claiming the park’s official name has already changed.
