People's Park

An unidentified female adult was found dead Tuesday in a tent at People’s Park, according to UC Berkeley spokesperson Dan Mogulof.

Michael Delacour, co-founder of People’s Park, died Thursday at the age of 85. 

As a freshman living in Unit Two last year, I cherished my dorm room view. I no longer live in the dorms, but I can imagine that the view is quite similar, with one major exception: that canopy of trees, the foliage over People’s Park, no longer exists.

Berkeley’s “so-called chess club” has quickly become an essential community pillar, where people from all walks of life, socioeconomic status, race and age, can come together and bond over a game of chess.

The destruction that occurred at People's Park in August — after the campus attempted to begin construction on student housing — cost the university over $4 million worth of damage, as first reported by East Bay Times. 

2022 proved to be an eventful year for Berkeley’s historic People’s Park. In April, community members gathered to celebrate the 52nd anniversary of the park. In August, during an overnight operation, the University of California fenced off the park for the construction of a student housing site. Within hours, protesters halted construction, and the fight over People’s Park wages on.

Several large pieces of construction equipment were removed from People’s Park near UC Berkeley on Monday morning.
