<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />ii <br />Pleasanton Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br />Executive Summary 2014 <br /> <br />Technical Analysis: In addition to the above, significant effort was placed on conducting a range of <br />detailed study including recreation facility demand needs analysis, service area analysis, trends analysis, <br />parkland acreage analysis and an assessment of program needs and the physical condition of City <br />buildings and facilities. <br /> <br />Summary of Parkland Acreage Findings <br /> <br />As detailed in Exhibit 2.3‐3, the City currently has 371 acres of parkland. Using the City’s General Plan’s <br />parkland acreage goal of 5 acres per 1,000 residents, and assuming a current population of 71,000, there <br />is currently a surplus of 16 acres. As a result, the City is currently exceeding its General Plan goal. <br /> <br />Notwithstanding the above, assuming this standard is applied to a projected build‐out population of <br />78,000, a future deficit of 19 acres would occur if no new parkland is added and the City’s population <br />continues to grow as anticipated. However, this is not deemed to be an insignificant shortage and plans <br />are already under way on two new park sites, the Bernal Community Park, and Staples Ranch <br />Community Park. The potential for additional parkland <br />development as a result of the East Side Specific Plan study <br />that is currently in progress could add even more park <br />acreage in the future. As a result, both existing and overall <br />parkland acreage is consistent with City goals. <br /> <br />In addition to the above, based upon the identification of <br />additional facility needs requirements outlined on page 2‐31, <br />a total of 28 acres of parkland development would be <br />required in the future. This amount is approximate and could <br />be met by utilizing existing parkland, acquiring new parkland <br />or leveraging existing underutilized land. <br /> <br />Overall General Findings ‐ Recreation Assessment <br />As an outcome of the assessment process, it is apparent that <br />the City has done an excellent job of providing and <br />maintaining parks/open spaces, facilities and programs that <br />are well accepted by City residents and that successfully meet <br />the City’s existing recreation needs in almost all areas. <br />However, as with any broad City service, the Master Plan <br />process identified opportunities for program service <br />enhancements, new and/or expanded facilities, and <br />additional maintenance requirements. Further, the master <br />plan process highlighted that evolving changes in community <br />demographics, including age, nationality, and race will be <br />combined with overall changes in recreational expectations <br />to generate a demand for modified services and facilities in <br />the future. As such, the intent of this plan is to provide an <br />effective tool for meeting these challenges. <br /> <br /> <br />Existing Recreation Inventory <br />Five Downtown Parks of <br />approximately 3.3 acres <br />Twenty‐eight Neighborhood <br />Parks totaling approximately <br />140 acres <br />Nine developed Community <br />Parks totaling approximately <br />227 acres <br />Five Special Use Parks/Facilities <br />Three Recreation Area Parks <br />Three Natural Area/Greenbelt <br />Parks <br />Three Linear Parks <br />Five facilities owned and/or <br />operated jointly between the <br />City and the PUSD <br />Eight separate Open Space areas <br />totaling over 422 acres <br />Ten major recreation trails <br />covering over 23 miles <br />Three main bicycle routes <br />The Alameda County Fair‐ <br />grounds <br />Two East Bay Regional Parks <br />District parks <br />
