New Entry Kiosk, Renovated Tennis Center Next in EPIC! Campaign

We’re making improvements, thanks to donations to the Elings Park Infrastructure Campaign (EPIC!).

You see them throughout the park: from the new kiosk at the main entrance, repaved roads and parking lots, to the renovation of the Las Positas Tennis Center.

Ongoing improvements are elevating comfort, accessibility, and beauty across the grounds, creating a more welcoming, enjoyable experience for every visitor who comes to explore, play, and connect at the park.

Next up: renovation of Godric Grove and the reactivation of a historic water well.

We’re more than half-way to our $10 million EPIC! fundraising goal. Help us make it to the finish line with a tax-deductible donation.
