<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />iii <br />Pleasanton Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br />Executive Summary 2014 <br />Recreation Programming Recommendations <br /> <br />The City provides a full range of community programs for all age groups that are well utilized and <br />received by the community. As an example during a recent fiscal year, there were a total of over 72,490 <br />individual uses in City programs. Of these uses, 4,741 were in preschool programs, 5,692 in programs <br />for children aged 6‐12, and 2,976 uses in programs for those aged 13‐17. There were a total of 17,352 <br />uses in senior programs. Finally, there were 31,285 uses in aquatics program and 76,744 in tennis <br />programs. <br /> <br />As detailed in Section Two, a variety of needs assessment tools were utilized to determine the type and <br />amount of new or enhanced programs and services that would be beneficial now and in the future. <br />Further, for the purpose of evaluating current and future recreation program needs, a number of local, <br />state and national trends were analyzed, including demographic shifts, changing life styles particularly <br />between “Gen X” and “Gen Y” demographics, sustainability , and changes related to the workplace. <br /> <br />Overall based on the data collected, there are no significant programming gaps of service. <br />Notwithstanding this, the overall process did identify opportunities for additional programming which <br />are detailed fully in Section Three. Some of the most notable opportunities for programming <br />enhancements are as follows: <br /> <br />Youth and Teen Programs <br /> Investigate potential for a stand‐alone or shared location for dedicated teen activities <br /> Explore creation of alternative sports programming <br /> Consider financial assistance to participants with limited income <br /> <br />Physical Fitness, Health, and Well Being <br /> Explore enhanced cooperation with the PUSD related to additional aquatics programs and access <br /> Review the City’s concession policy to promote state nutrition guidelines <br /> Develop healthy lifestyle programs <br /> Address the need of an aging population by offering more gentle aerobics program options <br /> <br />Inclusion of All Populations <br /> Coordinate with Para‐transit to offer subsidized transportation for Recreational Activities for the <br />Developmentally Disabled (RADD) programming <br /> Expand inclusion programming to allow RADD participants for more “hands‐on” job training classes <br /> Explore cooperative agreements with other Tri‐Valley communities unable to provide programming <br />for the developmentally disabled <br /> <br />Strengthen Outdoor Recreation Opportunities <br /> Review current usage and future usage possibilities for the Nature House <br /> Consider implementing a Strategic Plan study for enhanced programming at Alviso Adobe <br />Community Park <br /> Develop a “Park Steward” Volunteer Program for environmental enhancements, clean‐up, and <br />coordinate with other volunteers within local parks <br /> <br /> <br />
