University wants to build student housing there, more than half a century after its first plan to do that sparked park’s legacy
Several sites in the city already on the National Register — including Panoramic Hill, the Berkeley Women’s City Club, Founders’ Rock and the Hearst Greek Theatre — are regionally known but not nearly as recognized nationwide as People’s Park.
While People’s Park only joined the national registry this month, though, Berkeley’s Landmarks Preservation Commission first recognized its historical significance in 1984. “The park’s importance is beyond a squabble in Berkeley or within California,” Smith said in a statement. “It is a nationally recognized historic site.”
UC Berkeley spokesperson Dan Mogulof said there’s no doubt People’s Park deserves to be nationally recognized, but he noted the university has already addressed its history in an environmental impact report and development plan.
