Got more. Reporter this earth day project in oakland was about more than just picking up a city park. It was about starting something new. A group of two dozen volunteers gathered at ramadi park in west oakland to collect trash, power wash playground equipment, and even add some splashes of new color. The park had gotten pretty run down over the years, but it is seeing a lot of changes lately thanks largely to the many new Housing Developments that are popping up in the area. Yeah. There are definitely a number of residents here who are excited to just help take care of a spot that has been a little neglected for many years. Reporter but the biggest changes happening right now. A brandnew baseball field is being laid out, soon to be home of the oakland dollars, a new independentleague team in response to the loss of the as. The chief of staff helps the 1. 5 Million Investment in the park will help revitalize the entire neighborhood. Being able to do something for the community by the community is critical. That is for me as a person and for us as an organization. So just looking at all the people who have committed a beautiful saturday to coming out and cleaning up this park is pretty incredible. Reporter the team has a builtin fan base from the surrounding housing complexes. Many of the cleanup team came from right across the street from the park. Everyone is excited for the first game coming up. I think right in june is the first one and we are excited to see the progress of the park getting built slowly and surely. Super exciting. It is super exciting to see the transformation happening. I want to say so quickly but it has been a lot of work in a long time coming. Now we are seeing a lot more families enjoying the park which is fantastic. We are going to make it something that oakland especially west oakland deserves because for too long we have been divested and this will be something that everybody can really benefit from. Reporter but one man who lives in the area says that while they can welcome the new ballpark, they are weary of how it will affect the neighborhood, especially black residents who have lived there for a long time. Every time they do something new, for people who have lived here a long time it is scary. Are they going to take your home or your property because we have got a project coming in . So the project is what you see behind you. And the people who were there, i dont know. Are they on the street . Or did they moved to a different area . Reporter it has always been the dilemma to oakland. How to bring in something new without pushing out what was already there. In this case, the changes represent a new direction, a new focus for oakland baseball fans who know exactly what it feels like to be pushed away. The teams cleanup effort comes days after the city Council Agreed to invest 1. 6 million into renovating the park. Also happening in oakland today, thousands of volunteers came out to the shoreline of the Oakland Airport to plant 100 trees along the walkway updating the scenery and improving the citys air quality while they are at it. And over in concord, residents were invited to pick up trash at newhall park. The event was organized by friends of concord creek. It is importance of keeping the creek letter free. All of the native plants and animals live in the watershed and we want to give them habitat where they can thrive. That event was just one of 10 earth day weekend events happening in concord alone.

And happen on east santa clara and south 13 streets this morning. Crews put out the flames before it got to nearby buildings. There were residents at a nearby nursing home that were able to return safely and nobody was hurt. A fire also broke out at a marijuana warehouse in oakland near a rv park. This was near san leandro street. The blaze broke out at 4 20 this morning and was contained by around 6 00 a. M. No one has reported any injuries. And 4 20 is the unofficial holiday for cannabis users. In years past, people would pack hippie hill in San Franciscos Golden Gate Bridge park to celebrate. This year, organizers cannot raise enough money to celebrate but that did not stop hundreds of people from gathering at hippie hill for a mini smokeout today. And that is where we find da lin live. How is it going out there . Reporter it is going well. Still a few hundred people on hippie hill. Even earlier that afternoon, the crowd size was still small compared to years past. In years past, this area will be found with thousands and thousands of people so it sounds like people got the message this year and stayed away. Peace, love, and a lot of weed on hippie hill. Freedom. Beautiful. Just one love, everybody. Reporter young and old, they start showing up saturday afternoon. No one knew what to expect this year since organizers did not have the money and canceled the yearly celebration. We like it organic. Reporter that is what a lot of people say. They like the nonstructured environment. No fencing and no corporations. Debbie and her friend Chandler Leblanc visit hippie hill on 4 20 every year from you talk for the last 15 years. We stumbled upon it every year and had so much fun we said lets do that every year. Reporter it brings them back to how they used to celebrate cannabis. It is more of a commodity atmosphere. Everyone seemed happy. The drum circles are going. People are dancing. They are not regulated. They are not ruled to death. Reporter but one fence is there need to be a balance. We do not want it to get too crazy. There are shootings. That happens. We have seen some fights down here that have not been that good. Reporter there would be live music and dozens of vendors but without any official event this year, the city partnered with volo sports to offer activities at Robin Williams meadow. Cannabis lovers are encouraged to take part. Some believe it is a form of crowd control by activating the space. We have got corn hole here on the west lawn. We have got some bocce here in the corner. We have got spike the ball. So if people want to head on the hill and come down and do their thing, we are all signed up for it. Reporter volunteers also hand out free water. And it is not all pot smokers hanging out on hippie hill. Some people tell me they dont smoke at all. Then there is this family. Three generations just enjoying a lively day in San Francisco. We always come here with him anyway. So it is just a normal weekend for us with a little extra. They are in town from alaska visiting the grandparents. Reporter no festival, no problem. Debbie and shanna like how it is turning up, and they will be back next year. It is a nice good vibe like the old days. Reporter at last check, no reports of injuries or arrests. And, aside from the crowd sizes, i am told this year from a lot of these participants they are using a lot more edible cannabis products this time around so we are not seeing as much smoke. Andrea, i remember one year, years ago, there was so much marijuana smoke we could not see to the other side of the field but it is very different this time around and it seems like it is a lot more manageable as well this time around. It was a good marker though. You know you were at the event that you saw that big plume of smoke above the park. I hope it was easier to park this year though. Reporter parking was a challenge because they blocked off a lot of intersections around here but i think a lot of folks took Public Transit or just uber. Thank you so much for covering the event for us. Talking about all this. Still ahead, the grass has not been greener for a lot of cannabis users. The new tax breaks from one bay area county ny growers say it is not enough to keep them afloat. We are doing everything we can to survive. The industry is not the pot of gold that i thought it wise.

Next few days, warm 80s. Then it cools down again with low clouds near the shoreline and in the north bay and south bay we get some chance of rain coming in on friday and that will include the shoreline on the coast. It will be a chilly week ahead with daytime highs doing no better than 60 degrees but inland east bay will be in the 80s for a couple of days before cooling it down so it all comes down to one day on friday.
