<br /> <br />BERNAL COMMUNITY PARK AREA: Looking north from Valley <br />Avenue. <br /> <br />PARK PLANNING HISTORY <br /> <br />The Pleasanton City Council initiated planning for the <br />Bernal Community Park in the fall of 2000. Due to the <br />significant acreage involved and the range of recreational <br />facilities desired. it was assumed that development of the <br />Park would be phased over time. It was further considered <br />prudent to create a master plan that would preliminarily <br />determine the desired future recreational facility needs <br />and locate them in a logically organized and phased <br />scheme. Maintaining flexibility to allow for future changes <br />to meet evolving community needs was. therefore. a high <br />priority. <br /> <br />In December 2000, the Bernal Community Park Master Plan <br />Task Force was appointed by the Council to oversee <br />preparation of the Master Plan. Over the course of four <br />years, the Task Force participated in the creation of three <br />different master plan concepts, the most recent of which <br />was ultimately chosen as the "preferred plan" of the <br />Council on June 21, 2005. <br /> <br />In addition to assistance provided by the Task Force. the <br />Master Plan has also benefited from the 2004 Bernal <br />Property national deSign competition, as well as input <br />prOVided by the City Council. Parks and Recreation <br />Commission and citizens of Pleasanton. It is also the result <br />of direction prOVided in the 2004 "Initiative to Save Our <br />Community Park." <br /> <br />3 <br />
