Pleasanton Parks and Recreation Master Plan

2-19 Pleasanton Parks and Recreation Master Plan Section Two – Recreation Facility Needs Assessment 2014 To understand how the community groups utilize the spaces available within the City, the survey gathered detailed information on each program and activity. This activity determines the demand for space to meet, perform, teach, practice, do activities, create art and maintain an active and engaged community. The table on the following page provides a snapshot of the recreation buildings currently available. The demand for meeting rooms, program space, large banquet event space and flexible multiple‐use indoor space has outpaced supply of such facilities in the City. There is currently no City facility that can handle an indoor seated banquet‐type event over 320 persons. There is also not enough meeting space for all the community user groups to hold meetings at times that are convenient to the groups. In addition, since there is no existing facility dedicated for teenage children, the library has had to function as an after school teen center, putting a non‐compatible strain on a building that was intended to be a quiet place for reading and the study of media. The City has a demand for a multi‐use Community Center that would provide much‐needed large group cultural/event spaces, meeting rooms, recreation program spaces, offices and conferencing capabilities. Section Four – Recreation Facility Recommendations will provide potential configuration solutions to meet this demand.
