S TA;:r;c May 9, 1995 Parks and Community Services SUBJECT: Approval of Pleasanton School Upper Field Master Plan PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Park and Recreation Commission recommends approval of the proposed Master Plan for Pleasanton School Upper Field. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed Master Plan for Pleasanton School Upper Field. SUMMARY: Pleasanton School Upper Field Project is an approved project budgeted for $272,000. The proposed project Master Plan includes improvements to the irrigation and drainage system, rehabilitation of the turf, an improved lighting system that will accommodate softball or soccer, the addition of toddler and youth play areas, a lighted pathway system, casual use picnic areas, and paved parking areas. The proposed Master Plan addresses the shortfalls identified by park users while adding amenities desired by the neighborhood. Honorable Mayor and Members of the Council: BACKGROUND Pleasanton School Upper Field is an approximately nine acre park/school site located along Bernal Avenue immediately east of the Pleasanton Unified School District offices. The field was previously heavily used as the play field for the old Pleasanton Elementary School, and later by the Middle School. The only school activity now using the site is Village High School. The property is owned by the District and leased long-term by the City for organized sports and other recreational activities. This project has been pending for many years and the scope of the project has changed over time. Originally, funds were budgeted to pave the parking area. Later on, deficiencies were noted in the lighting, irrigation and drainage, and the project was expanded to SR 95:144
