* Large main play area that could include a bird, nest or other large soaring feature <br />that could be interacted with in a variety of ways (e.g., climbing, swinging, <br />ziplining, and/or sliding) <br />• Quiet areas <br />• Additional picnic areas <br />Music area <br />Fitness Zone <br />• Bankshot basketball area <br />• Large climbing structure for older youth <br />• Sensory Play area. <br />Option 2 Playground Descriotion (Pride of Pleasanton Playground): <br />This playground concept celebrates the park's green, lush setting, and undulations. It <br />encourages users to discover nature through organic shapes, natural materials and <br />textures, and a variety of adventures and challenges along the way. This concept will <br />also include interpretive play features that highlight the unique character of Pleasanton. <br />Design Features: <br />• Entry area with Pleasanton Arch replica <br />• Large main play area that could include replica Kottinger Barn, or other key <br />historic building in Pleasanton that could be interacted with in a variety of ways <br />(e.g., climbing, swinging, ziplining, and/or sliding) <br />• Fitness area <br />• Nature themed play areas that could include mounds, sand, and sensory play <br />• Additional picnic areas with shelter <br />• Challenge course for older youth <br />• Quiet areas <br />• Artistic shade structures <br />• Music area. <br />Both options proposed additional accessible parking stalls, a drop-off and <br />loading/unloading zone, and new parking stalls. As proposed, the loss in parking due to <br />the additional accessible stalls and loading zone are expected to balance with the new <br />parking stalls for a net -zero gain in parking in the parking lot immediately adjacent to the <br />all -abilities playground. However, with the projected addition of parking for the skatepark <br />project, there will be an approximate gain of 20 parking stalls. <br />The two concepts were presented at the following events/meetings: <br />1. August 12, 2021 — Parks and Recreation Commission <br />2. September 1, 2021 — Human Services Commission <br />3. September 8, 2021 — Youth Commission <br />4. September 11, 2021 — Community Event #1 at the Farmers Market <br />5. September 25, 2021 — Community Workshop #2 in the playground area at Ken <br />Mercer Sports Park. <br />Page 4 of 8 <br />
