Shopping
Since the park is in the Downtown Fremont area, within the vicinity are several shopping plazas and retail centers. Directly down the street from the park is the Gateway Shopping Plaza and the Washington West Plaza, both of which are adjacent to Washington Hospital and the BART station. Included in these plazas are a Raley's grocery store, Pet Food Express, and Peet's Coffee and Tea. A block away from there on Mowry Avenue is the Fremont Plaza which includes a Starbucks, a Petco and a Rite Aid pharmacy. This plaza runs right onto Fremont Boulevard where across the street is the Fremont Hub Shopping Center, the largest of the plazas in the vicinity. Included in the Hub are a Target, a Trader Joe's, a Bed Bath and Beyond and a Safeway grocery store. In all of these plazas are several restaurants and cafes as well. The city of Fremont is in the planning stages to turn Capitol Avenue (the street which connects all these plazas and where City Hall stands) into a pedestrian walkway to make City Hall & all the shopping centers more accessible to workers, visitors and consumers 1pdf.

—Susan Chira (20th century)
“Children’s liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.”
