<br /> <br /> <br />1-1 <br /> <br />Pleasanton Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br />Section One ‐ Introduction 2014 <br /> <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />The Parks and Recreation Master Plan (Master Plan) is based on the guiding principle that parks, <br />recreation facilities, programs, trails, and open space are important resources within the City of <br />Pleasanton. Across the nation, organizations such as the California Park and Recreation Society1 <br />describe the many important ways recreation facilities and programming can help in creating healthy <br />lifestyles and livable communities, including: <br /> <br /> Strengthen community image and sense of place <br /> Support economic development <br /> Strengthen safety and security <br /> Promote health and wellness <br /> Foster human development <br /> Increase cultural unity <br /> Protect environmental resources <br /> Facilitate community problem solving <br /> Provide recreational experiences <br /> <br />A park or a recreation facility means different things to <br />different people. To some residents, parks are active sports <br />fields; others have images of passive open spaces where <br />one can walk, rest, and enjoy nature. Still others may <br />envision parks as places for community gatherings and <br />events. Indeed, parks and recreation facilities are used for <br />all of these purposes and more. A diverse, vital recreation <br />system is therefore necessary in sustaining Pleasanton’s <br />visionary course: <br /> <br />Pleasanton: “The City of Planned Progress” <br /> <br />1.1 Purpose of the Master Plan <br /> <br />The Pleasanton General Plan 2005‐2025 (adopted in 2009) envisioned a future in harmony with the <br />environment with an emphasis on economic opportunity, community health, welfare and sustainability. <br /> <br />Key questions discussed in this Master Plan include: What parks, recreational facilities, and programs <br />does Pleasanton have? What role do parks, facilities, open space, trails and recreation programs have in <br />the lives of residents? What types of parks, facilities, and programs does Pleasanton need and what are <br />the most important priorities? What changes should be made to existing parks, facilities and programs? <br />Where will new parks, facilities, and programs be placed and how will they be funded and maintained? <br /> <br />1 California Parks and Recreation Society (CPRS) VIP Project: Creating Community in the 21st Century, <br />www.cprs.org <br />Highlights: <br /> <br />The Master Plan is an <br />implementation tool providing <br />strategies for addressing the <br />General Plan’s goals and policies <br />The purpose of the Master Plan <br />is to provide a realistic guide for <br />the creative, orderly <br />development and management <br />of recreation facilities and pro‐ <br />grams for the City <br />Demographic characteristics <br />such as age, presence of <br />children, ethnicity, and income <br />have a relationship to recreation <br />patterns and program needs <br />In addition to the General Plan, <br />there are a number of other <br />existing documents and plans <br />that relate to the Master Plan <br />
