This highly anticipated project was many years in the making with funding as the biggest challenge to overcome. Though perseverance, funding for the $24 million project was secured from multiple sources, including $11 million from Measure DD Oakland Trust for Clean Water & Safe Parks, $6 million in Measure WW – East Bay Regional Parks funds, $3.2 million in Measure I Oakland General Obligation Bond funding, $3 million in State Proposition 40 funds and $2 million from the Oakland Redevelopment Agency.

The facility is designed with future phases that include a two-court gymnasium, an outdoor lap pool, and three soccer fields. Read more about the project here.

Congratulations Oakland!!

Happy Women's Equality Day

11:47 AM - Thursday, August 2010 Filed in: WBEN, Certified Woman Owned Business, Woman's Equality Day
Today is Women’s Equality Day. The date was selected by the Congress in 1971 to commemorate the 1920 passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote. This civil rights movement by women that had its formal beginnings in 1848 at the world’s first women’s rights convention, in Seneca Falls, New York. The observance of Women’s Equality Day commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment and calls attention to women’s continuing efforts toward full equality. Women have come a long way…

Our founder, Lauren Livingston, was the first female Associate Director of Men’s Intercollegiate Athletics at a Division I university—- the University of California, Berkeley. In 1986 Lauren left the University and created The Sports Management Group, a certified woman-owned business. For 24 years, the firm has provided career opportunities for women (and men) in the field of planning, programming, design, financial services, market research, and recreation and sports facility operations.
