better utilization of facilities (tennis courts, synthetic turf sports fields) • Pursue additional public/private and/or public/non-profit partnerships to provide additional or enhanced programming • Emphasize opportunities for improved trail connectivity Maintenance Recommendations As mentioned previously, it is apparent that the City has done a very good job of providing and maintaining parks, facilities, trails and/or open space. Overall park grounds and landscaping were found to be well maintained, visually attractive and safe. However, substantial deferred maintenance needs were found within park buildings and recreational facilities. The National Recreation and Park Association has established criteria for measuring municipal parks and recreation systems maintenance levels. The City is rated at a Level 2, which is considered an acceptable operating standard for municipal parks and recreation systems comparable to the size of Pleasanton. Given the development of new parks and recreation facilities including future phases of Bemal Community Park, Staples Ranch and East Pleasanton, the current resources may prove to be strained and/or inadequate to fully fund park and facility operations, maintenance, improvements and development. As a result, the Master Plan also outlines specific recommendations regarding possible enhancements to existing facilities and/or improved maintenance that will address some deferred maintenance issues and expand the life and use of the City's assets. They include: • Improved irrigation systems to improve water conservation • Parking lot paving improvements • Resurfacing of basketball courts at various parks ▪ Improve trails signage at various trails • Add ADA compliant children's play equipment, benches, barbeques & picnic tables at various parks • Identify funds for improvements and upgrades to the Dolores Bengtson Aquatic Center's buildings (lockers, concession area, training room and storage) • Identify funds to develop a renovation program for actively used facilities that display deferred maintenance issues or need to be updated. City owned or maintained facilities include: o Amador Theater at Amador Valley High School (Joint-Use Facility) o Century House at Bicentennial Park o Cultural Arts Building and Amador Recreation Center at Amador Valley Community Park o Nature House at McKinley Park o Sports Office and Concession Building at the Pleasanton Sports and Recreation Community Park Page 8 of 9
