BACKGROUND Master Plan In 2006, Pleasanton voters approved Measure P which adopted the Bernal Property Phase II Specific Plan outlining public improvements to the Bernal Property. The vision for the Phase II Specific Plan area is to develop a number of public amenities including a community park with lighted sports fields, a youth center, a community center, a civic arts center and open space, in an open park -like setting. The Specific Plan includes elements contained in the Bernal Community Park Master Plan (Master Plan).

Phase 1 of the park project has been developed on 13.2 acres of the Community Park site. The Phase 1 improvements include two lighted baseball fields, one unlighted informal baseball field, paved parking for 105 vehicles, a public restroom, a field supply /storage building, landscaping and irrigation, lighted pathways, a children's play area with apparatus, and miscellaneous site furnishings. Irrigation and water management features include bio- swales, underground drain lines, and quick -drain sub grades and field drain lines on the baseball fields.
