People's Park, Public park in Berkeley, United States.
The 2.8-acre green space near Telegraph Avenue contains grass areas, trees, communal gardens, and gathering spots for Berkeley residents and students.
Local activists established this community space in April 1969, leading to confrontations with law enforcement that resulted in injuries during the event known as Bloody Thursday.
The park serves as a symbol of grassroots activism and social movements, reflected in regular community gatherings, art installations, and political demonstrations.
The University of California Berkeley plans to transform the space into housing for 1,100 students and 100 low-income residents while preserving 60 percent as public space.
Metal containers now surround the perimeter of People's Park following January 2024 preparations for construction, marking a new phase in its complex social history.
