Sylvia Mendez School Park is managed and maintained by the Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD).  By a joint-use agreement between the City of Berkeley and the Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD), Sylvia Mendez offers public access to its play areas when school is not in session.

Sylvia Mendez School Park was built with Measure Y funds after voters passed a bond measure in 1974 to fund additional park development to meet the recreational needs of Berkeley’s citizens. The play areas were completely refurbished in 2001.
