ALAMEDA PARKS - RITTLER PARK

ALAMEDA PARKS - RITTLER PARK

ALAMEDA PARKS - RITTLER PARK. Rittler Park was the first park on the new South Shore development. South Shore was a 390 acre bay fill development in 1950s. The Park was an important part of the development and was in keeping with developments in the 1950s. The land was level, with a few scattered trees near two schools, just like other parks of that era.

RITTLER PARK SIGN

The park was named in honor of the city's 91 year old former athletic director and superintendent of recreation, Otto Rittler. The park was part of the school and park complex developed by the Alameda Unified School District and the Alameda City Recreation and Parks Department. Utah Construction Company which developed South Shore gave title to the park, the elementary and middle school to the City of Alameda.
