<br /> <br /> <br />1-4 <br /> <br />Pleasanton Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br />Section One ‐ Introduction 2014 <br />1.3 Context <br /> <br />The Pleasanton General Plan 2005‐2025 (adopted in 2009), established a vision for the City that is well <br />on its way to fulfillment. The General Plan envisioned a future in harmony with the environment with <br />an emphasis on the sustainability of economic opportunity, community health and welfare. <br /> <br />Today, Pleasanton is a unique City recognized for its open space, history and heritage, economic <br />prosperity, very low crime rates, distinguished schools, self‐described “small town character”, and <br />outstanding recreation system. With approximately 4,000 more housing units projected over the next <br />12 years, the City is approaching “buildout” of its current limits and must prepare for the changes in <br />growth that will be presented. <br /> <br />Physical Setting <br /> <br />Pleasanton is a picturesque community of approximately 70,2002 persons located in central Alameda <br />County along the Arroyo del Valle and Arroyo Mocho watercourses. <br /> <br />Within Pleasanton, several significant natural and man‐made features help shape neighborhoods and <br />provide both opportunities and constraints with respect to parks, recreation, circulation, and <br />community life. These include: <br /> <br /> The Pleasanton Ridge, creating the western border <br /> Arroyo Mocho seasonal drainage creek <br /> Arroyo del Valle seasonal drainage creek <br /> Interstate Freeway 580 at the north border <br /> Historic Downtown <br /> Mineral quarry site and Livermore forming eastern border <br /> Steep open hills of unincorporated Alameda County to the south <br /> <br />Varied topography and open space provide many walking, hiking, and cycling opportunities and <br />contribute strongly to community identity and is a reminder of Pleasanton’s heritage. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2 State of California, Department of Finance estimate.
