Gene Friend Rec Center | PG&E Begins Energization Work

Rec Park Improvements: Gene Friend Rec Center Posted on February 12, 2026

We are excited to report that PG&E has begun work to energize the new facility.

Please be advised: We expect energization will involve some night work by PG&E along 6th Street, but we do not have any specific information to share. Please reach out to PG&E for more information.

We’re also happy to report that the playground equipment installation is nearly complete and that the open park space around the new facility is now being built out.

As the site becomes more built out, the contractor team is more constrained for space onsite for access and staging. In the coming months, you will likely notice an increase in traffic and parking impacts on Harriet Street – Thank you so much for your patience and support. We’re in the home stretch!

Construction is making great progress, and with this update from PG&E we continue to be on pace to open the new facility this summer.

Thank you for your continued support and stay tuned for more updates!
