Pleasanton Parks and Recreation Master Plan

2-11 Pleasanton Parks and Recreation Master Plan Section Two – Recreation Facility Needs Assessment 2014 2.6 Private and Commercial Recreation Facilities Non‐public facilities play a large role in meeting the recreational needs of the residents of Pleasanton. The array of programs and facilities they provide is substantial. Some programs are offered through the City, others are not. There is a very limited network of private facilities within the City, made up of businesses, churches, clubs, private schools, Homeowner Associations, organizations, and golf courses. This Master Plan does not provide a detailed inventory of private and commercial facilities since the City neither owns, operates, nor maintains them. These recreation resources are therefore not credited toward satisfaction of the City’s acreage or facility goals for public parks. However, as they do fill a recreation role, these facilities may individually be able to address certain specific identified needs in the City of Pleasanton. Commercial Recreation Facilities Several commercial operations provide recreational, sports, or exercise opportunities in and around Pleasanton. These resources are not credited toward the City’s acreage or facility quantity goals.  Castlewood Country Club (private 36‐hole golf course, clubhouse, tennis and swimming pool)  ClubSport Athletic Club (private fitness facility, indoor tennis courts, swimming pool and gymnasium)  Ruby Hill Golf Club (private 18‐hole golf course, swimming pool, tennis and bocce club)  Homeowner Associations (HOA’s) and Private Clubs (private swimming pools and recreational facilities) 2.7 Opportunity Sites Throughout this Master Plan process numerous sites have been evaluated for the potential to provide recreational opportunities in the community. Several “opportunity sites” are currently planned as developer‐built parks. Many are unplanned vacant park sites, and some are currently utilized for other purposes but may become available for recreational use in the future. There are two (2) categories of opportunity sites indicated:  Planned (Designed and Not Designed): These sites are planned to be parks and have been designed but not yet built, or they are planned but a facility design has not yet been approved  Unplanned: These sites are potential public recreation facilities that would require negotiation, dedication, or planning revisions to secure their use as parks
