PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA PACKET 01112024

Page 4 of 8 Creekside Park: • There has been a big increase in graffiti, some gang-related, at Creekside Park. Staff have spent more time than usual cleaning off, or painting over, graffiti on the tennis wall, fence, and picnic tables. The tennis wall was tagged multiple times • The damaged backstop at Creekside Park was repaired. The bottom portion of the backstop was damaged, possibly by mowing, and needed to be repaired. Meadowlark Park: • Work began on the sewer line replacement project at Meadowlark Park. The alignment of the replacement sewer line had to be changed due to not having enough slope present between the connection points and this caused a delay in the completion of the project. Any impacts to the park will be repaired as part of the project. Valley Trails Park: • A section of buckled concrete pathway near Wind Cave Court was removed and replaced. This section of the pathway had progressively gotten worse and was beyond repair • The City’s tree maintenance contractor removed three large Monterey pine trees near Harpers Ferry Court. The large stumps remain and will be removed later. The trees were in decline or dead. New trees will be planted this winter to replace the removed trees. Veterans Plaza Park: • Staff removed three declining ornamental pear trees and repaired the irrigation at the tree locations. New Kentucky coffee trees were planted in the park to replace the declining pear trees that were removed. Senior Center/Centennial Park: • Three new concrete benches were installed. Veterans Memorial Building: • Staff planted 21 one-gallon plants. City of Pleasanton Library: • Staff planted 152 one-gallon plants.
