Jerry Raber Ash Street Park is a community-serving neighborhood park in western Newark. The park is a well-used and active recreation facility with existing amenities including sheltered group picnic areas, playgrounds, full court basketball, grass lawn, pedestrian paths, two softball fields, and a restroom. The site additionally includes the privately operated Viola Blythe Community Service Center of Newark, a Head Start preschool facility, and a segment of the Hetch Hetchy right-of-way under the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. The Newark Citywide Parks Master Plan envisions Jerry Raber Ash Street Park to remain a neighborhood park while enhancing the site's recreational capacity to meet the active needs of the park's existing users and the community of Newark. The Newark Parks Master Plan proposes several projects to strengthen the site's capacity as a recreational facility. These projects include the creation of a natural turf multi-sport field, an additional group picnic site, a volleyball court, and updated playgrounds. Additionally, a decorative garden and several bocce ball courts are proposed. The project is included in the City of Newark's FY 2024-2026 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
