Canopy Team partnered with the newly founded Oakland Ballers to design a temporary ballpark at historic Raimondi Park in Oakland, CA for the expansion Pioneer League team. Guiding the Ballers’ front office through all phases of the process – strategic planning, design, construction, and operations – our team brought together and coordinated with the general contractor, engineering firm, and vendors to ensure the project was delivered within a tight timeline working towards Opening Day. Leaning into the history of Oakland, the goal was to immerse the ballpark into the city’s culture, with “Built by Oakland” as the guiding motto. Throughout the ballpark, Canopy Team helped implement placemaking strategies and, in doing so, identified and orchestrated the partnership of local artists for custom Oakland-themed murals to celebrate its history. Ultimately the collective work helped to create a season-long roadmap of programming for every home game.
