<br /> <br /> <br />1-2 <br /> <br />Pleasanton Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br />Section One ‐ Introduction 2014 <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 />Over the years, the City of Pleasanton has actively undertaken a variety of planning efforts pertaining to <br />recreation and community services programs, individual park or facility Master Plans, Land Use studies, <br />and Specific Plans. The Master Plan builds on many of these previous planning efforts and obtains new <br />community input that has resulted in providing an up‐to‐date understanding of current and future <br />recreation needs and opportunities specific to Pleasanton. <br /> <br />There is a strong connection between open space and recreation in Pleasanton. Natural open space is <br />also strongly connected to community identity in many ways, including as reinforcement of the area’s <br />“El Alisal” or early days heritage. The City’s General Plan addresses open space comprehensively, <br />including open space for non‐recreation purposes. <br /> <br />1.2 Approach and Document Organization <br />The Master Plan document is organized into the following sections: <br /> <br />Section Two: Recreation Facility Needs Assessment <br /> <br />This section summarizes the Master Plan’s purpose and process. The current demographic composition <br />of Pleasanton and implications for recreation trends is briefly outlined. A list of related documents that <br />were reviewed as part of the Master Plan is identified. <br /> <br />Understanding the existing conditions in the community is an essential step in the Master Plan process. <br />The Needs Assessment provides an inventory of the City’s parks and recreation facilities as well as other <br />recreation facilities open to the public and includes discussions of public school facilities, private <br />recreation facilities, and a listing of other publicly‐owned lands (opportunity sites) within and <br />surrounding the City limits. <br /> <br />The Needs Assessment further provides a detailed assessment of the recreation facility needs of the <br />Pleasanton community. Data from the community was obtained to develop an understanding of the <br />demand for a variety of facilities. Both qualitative and quantitative information sources are discussed. <br />The assessment utilizes the following needs identification tools: <br /> <br />Community Outreach: Information gathered from the community through a series of workshops, <br />stakeholder interviews, workshop participant questionnaires, sports organization and community <br />organization questionnaires. <br /> <br />Community‐Wide Telephone Survey: The phone survey provides current, statistically valid information <br />specific to Pleasanton that gives detailed information for the types of recreation facilities most often <br />utilized by Pleasanton residents. A total of 300 randomly selected, geographically distributed <br />households in the City of Pleasanton were interviewed.
