Maximizing Parks and Open space The Vision
Provide the appropriate mix of parkland that balances the needs of active and passive facilities and that are accessible for all residents, meeting the existing, and future recreation needs of the community
The Goal Acquire additional park space to meet the standard of 6 acres per 1000 pop and maximize asset value of all existing parks through new development, re-design and enhanced role as learning environments
Maximizing Parks and Open space
Strategic Initiative T he park and open space system will be significantly enhanced by the
completion of the Shoreline and Sugarloaf Parks Master Plans, the construction of a new community park at Bay Meadows, and the provision of new park areas located west of Highway 101 and west of El Camino Real. An improved urban trail system will enhance connectivity between all parks and recreation facilities.
Central Park will be enhanced as the community’s signature park and gathering place with a goal to increase the provision of open space by minimizing and redesigning the park’s physical structures. It’s value to downtown as an important link in support of economic vitality will increase as well as its utilization as an outdoor performance venue.
Maximizing Parks and Open space
Current Practice • Incomplete Park Master Plans
• Underutilized Park Spaces
• Inequity of Service Areas
• Undeveloped Park Acreage

Strategic Initiative Recreation programming services will be managed more strategically
within core program areas to ensure alignment with community demographics, lifestyle trends and established outcomes and benefits.

The Goal Develop sufficient fiscal and community partnership resources to sustain the delivery of quality park and recreation experiences that meet community needs
Revenue and Resource Development
Strategic Initiative The ability to sustain service delivery and achieve greater self-sufficiency
will be realized through the development of effective revenue strategies and practices and through the strengthening and expansion of partnership opportunities. Program offerings and facility operations will be managed to maximize revenue generation capabilities and dedicated funding streams will support preventive maintenance practices and capital improvement needs. Opportunities for cooperative facility development and program delivery with adjacent cities, schools and community agencies will be actively pursued.
