Pleasanton as potential cricket field locations, which are the only parks that could fit the requested field sizes: • Ken Mercer Sports Park • Amador Community Park • Muirwood Community Park • Staples Ranch Community Park (undeveloped location) • Bernal Community Park (undeveloped location). Ken Mercer Sports Park and Amador Community Park were determined to have too many other potentially conflicting uses to meet the demand for the cricket field use. The locations that a cricket field would potentially fit at both parks would displace multiple fields and user groups, so no further evaluation was performed. Near-term Solution Muirwood Community Park City staff analyzed Muirwood Community Park (Muirwood) and determined it to be a viable location to construct a near-term cricket field. It is the only park that: • Is without a significant amount of other sports user groups • Has the necessary open grass area to install the 180 -foot radius cricket field • Has a public restroom • Has space for storage • Has a large amount of available on -street parking City staff presented the idea of locating a cricket field at Muirwood to the Sports Council on October 18, 2021. The Sports Council was generally receptive to the idea of the installation of a cricket field at Muirwood but wanted to retain the youth soccer fields at the site. Staff believes that cricket and youth soccer can share the field. Long-term Solution Staples Ranch Community Park (undeveloped location) The 17 -acre undeveloped plot of land, located to the south of Stoneridge Drive and adjacent to the Pacific Pearl shopping center, was acquired by the City as a result of the Staples Ranch Specific Plan process. The Specific Plan identified this land for a future community park but did not establish or require any specific type of park uses. The future park location has: • Easy access from Interstate 580 Can accommodate requested parking • Is large enough for the requested field size Can be designed to incorporate the associated amenities requested for the long- term cricket field Additionally, it does not have any conflicting uses as the park is yet to be constructed.
