<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />i <br />Pleasanton Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br />Executive Summary 2014 <br />EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br /> <br />The purpose of this Master Plan is to provide a realistic and visionary guide for the creative, orderly <br />development and management of parks, recreation facilities and programs for the City, now and into <br />the future. The Master Plan is an implementation tool of the General Plan, providing strategies for <br />addressing the General Plan’s vision, as well as goals and policies based on current analysis and <br />community input. <br /> <br />The Master Plan’s findings and recommendations are based on a combination of community input <br />derived from community workshops and targeted surveys and staff’s technical analysis and as such, in <br />many respects, they represent community expectations and observations which may exceed or be <br />different from, those developed as part of national or state recreational organizations. Notwithstanding <br />this, importance has been placed on assuring the Master Plan is consistent with the Pleasanton General <br />Plan 2005 to 2025 and it provides a framework for meeting its vision, goals, policies and programs, <br />specifically those related to the Public Facilities and Community Programs, Conservation and Open <br />Space, Community Character and Energy Elements. Further this Master Plan has taken into <br />consideration existing advance planning and other planning documents such as the City’s Youth Master <br />Plan, Pedestrian, Bicycle and Trails Master Plan, Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan Amendment/Staples <br />Ranch, and other related plans. <br /> <br />Recreation Facility Needs Assessment <br /> <br />As part of the 12‐month master plan process, considerable effort was devoted initially to identifying <br />existing recreation resources as detailed in Section Two and then interacting with the community and <br />frequent facility users in an attempt to identify specific interests, needs and satisfaction with City <br />programming and facilities. In addition, a considerable amount of technical analysis was conducted <br />regarding programs and facilities. A significant portion of this process included data gathering in an <br />attempt to assess community expectations, facility requirements, and demand and needs analysis. A <br />summary of these efforts are as follows: <br /> <br />Community Workshops: A total of three facilitated community workshops were conducted. The first <br />workshop identified community perceptions of the City’s overall character and its recreation facilities. <br />The second focused on identifying the most and least favorite facilities. The third discussed program and <br />facility priorities. <br /> <br />Sports Organization Questionnaires: All of the City’s twenty sports organizations responded to a <br />questionnaire designed to gather information about participation, needs, and facilities used. <br /> <br />Community Organization Questionnaires: Twenty‐one community organizations responded to a <br />questionnaire designed to gather information about participation, needs, and facilities utilized by the <br />groups for programs, meetings and events. <br /> <br />Community‐Wide Telephone Survey: A total of 300 interviews were completed, contacted through use <br />of a random digit dial sample. The purpose was to provide a statistically valid basis for determining how <br />residents participate in recreation activities. The survey was validated by comparing demographic <br />results of the survey to overall City resident demographics and by a manual audit of 10% of the surveys.
