<br /> <br />2-1 <br />Pleasanton Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br />Section Two – Recreation Facility Needs Assessment <br />2014 <br />2.0 RECREATION FACILITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT <br /> <br />This portion of the Master Plan provides an overview of existing parks, recreation facilities and <br />opportunity areas in and around Pleasanton. An understanding of existing resources is essential prior to <br />beginning the needs evaluation process. <br /> <br />A diverse combination of recreation buildings, community parks, neighborhood parks, special use <br />facilities, trails, joint‐use school facilities, and nearby regional parks and open space provide <br />opportunities for a myriad of community and personal activities for recreation, education, health, and <br />cultural enrichment. <br /> <br />2.1 Park Definition <br /> <br />For purposes of this Master Plan report, a multi‐purpose <br />definition of “park” is desirable that relates to the needs <br />analysis tools used in this section: <br /> <br />Public Park or Parkland <br />The synonymous terms “public park” and “parkland” are <br />defined as outdoor areas owned by a public entity generally <br />available for public passive and/or active recreation usage <br />and containing access or recreation improvements. Parks <br />are usually located in a Parks and Recreation (P & R) Zone as <br />identified in the City's Zoning Map. <br /> <br />Areas not generally considered as "parkland" include: street <br />medians; natural preserved or conserved open space areas <br />without public access; unimproved land zoned for uses <br />other than recreation; and flood zones. This Master Plan <br />report will use the term “park” and “recreation facility” <br />interchangeably and the terms refer to all City park types <br />described in the next section. <br /> <br />2.2 City Park Types <br /> <br />Parks can be classified by type based primarily on their size, function and character. The classification of <br />parks is important in understanding city‐wide acreage needs and in determining what types of parks are <br />needed in the future. The use of a variety of park classifications can be aligned to be consistent with the <br />function of each site and assist the City with future policy decisions. <br /> <br />This Master Plan provides a recommendation of park classifications and definitions that the City may <br />want to evaluate and possibly incorporate into the General Plan in the future. For the purpose of this <br />Master Plan, the following park types and definitions have been applied to illustrate how a new park <br />classification system could be utilized. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Highlights <br />The City has added over 60 park <br />sites since incorporation in 1894 <br />This Master Plan recommends the <br />addition of five new park types: <br />Downtown Park, Recreation Area, <br />Natural Area/Greenbelt, Linear <br />Park, and Special Use Facility in <br />addition to existing classifications <br />of Neighborhood and Community <br />Parks <br />The City has 371 acres of developed <br />parkland located in 42 park sites <br />There are six (6) joint‐use school <br />campus facilities <br />The City operates over 23 miles of <br />trails over 300 acres of scenic open <br />space park land <br />There are three (3) new opportunity <br />sites for new parks and recreation <br />facilities
