In 2011,the City Council adopted its annual work plan for FY 2011/12 which included the development of a comprehensive, city-wide Parks and Recreation Master Plan.The Master Plan's purpose was to provide a framework for directing City resources towards parks,facilities and programs, and for addressing future community recreational needs over the next ten years. In 2012,the Parks and Recreation Master Plan Steering Committee and staff began working with RJM Design Group, Inc. to develop the Master Plan.The two year process included;three community workshops, a community-wide telephone survey, a survey of community based non-profit organizations(art, civic, service,and sports), and a complete analysis of the City's parks, recreational facilities, and programs.The information was presented at a joint workshop of the City Council and Parks and Recreation Commission on February 24,2014.The plan was modified in some areas based upon feedback received at the February meeting, and the final Master Plan was approved by the City Council in June 2014. According to the "Demand and Needs Analysis"that was completed as part of the of the City of Pleasanton's 2014 Parks and Recreation Master Plan, the type of Recreation Facility with the highest deficiency or need in the City are tennis courts.The City has a current demand or need of 28 tennis courts for a population of 71,000 people and a future need of a total of 34 tennis courts for a population of 78,000. Currently,the City has 18 tennis courts under its management which include 10 lighted courts at the Tennis and Community Park,4 courts at Muirwood Community Park, 2 courts at Fairland's Park and 2 lighted tennis courts at Stoneridge Creek Neighborhood Park. In addition,the City and PUSD have an agreement for shared use of the two lighted tennis courts at Pleasanton Middle School. However, since the public's access to these courts is limited due to school hours,they are counted at 50%.Thus, with the 19 tennis courts currently available for community use, and a demonstrated need for 28 courts,there is a current deficiency of 9 tennis courts(71,000 pop) or a total deficiency of 15 tennis courts at buildout(78,000 pop).To address the current and future demand for public tennis courts,the Parks and Recreation Master Plan recommended that the City follow the 1985 and 1995 Tennis and Community Park Master Plan and construct the two (2)final tennis courts as planned.
