The Carter Gilmore Sports Complex, also known as Carter-Gilmore Greenman Field, is a renowned park in Oakland, California. Named in honor of former Oakland City Councilman Carter Gilmore, the park pays tribute to his significant contributions as the first African American elected to the Council, as well as his activism in civil rights and community leadership. Originally known as Greenman Field, the park was renamed in 2006, shortly before Mr. Gilmore's passing. With a rich history dating back to 1950, when it was named after Charles H. Greenman, the former principal of Lockwood School, and the students who lost their lives in World War I and II, the Carter Gilmore Sports Complex is a cherished recreational space in Oakland. Located at 1390 66th Avenue, the park offers a variety of sports facilities and serves as a testament to the city's commitment to honoring its local heroes and providing a vibrant community space.Generated from the website
