Page | 10 APPENDIX C <br /> <br />from Middle School, three (3) students from High School; four (4) at large student representatives from <br />grades six (6) through twelfth (12); and one (1) adult representative from the community at large. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Recommended Actions <br /> <br /> Examine the opportunities, potential locations, funds required, costs per parcel, and steps <br />necessary to develop a home location for teens, either as a stand‐alone center or in conjunction <br />with development of a Community Center. <br /> Consider expanding Pleasanton’s role in teen programs offering an array of programs that might <br />include social recreation, tutoring, mentoring and non‐sports activities. <br /> Work cooperatively with Pleasanton Unified School District, local police, public health, and social <br />service organizations to develop recreation, prevention, and education programs for youth <br />development. <br /> Explore the creation of alternative sports programming that is of interest to youth such as laser <br />tag and rock climbing. <br /> Provide indoor and outdoor spaces for supervised but <br />unstructured free play for youth. <br /> Continue/develop financial assistance support for youth <br />who cannot afford program fees. <br /> Continue cooperative efforts with youth sports <br />organizations to provide safe and accessible programs that <br />develop sports skills, good sportsmanship and provide <br />youth experiences in organized sports such as the popular <br />baseball, softball, basketball and football. New sports <br />interests to be addressed include cricket, badminton, <br />rugby, and lacrosse. <br /> Address the need for swimming instruction and <br />recreational swimming for youth. <br /> Consider programming “high risk” adventure activities such <br />as kayaking, mountain biking, scuba diving, rock climbing. <br /> Develop a training and volunteer program of Play Stewards <br />who would receive training and instruction on the aspects of <br />play and recreation. Play Stewards would then coordinate <br />with city staff on the delivery of recreation programming for youth and teens. <br /> <br />Physical Fitness, Health, and Well‐Being <br /> <br />For Pleasanton, Physical Fitness, Health and Well‐Being was the most important benefit when seeking <br />recreation, selected by more than half of the residents. This can be facilitated and achieved through <br />active and passive recreational activities and by the City assuming a leadership role in educating the <br />public about the benefits of achieving health and wellness. Physical activity and wellness programs for <br />all ages are needed for obesity, disease prevention, and general good health. Offerings should include <br />development of community places such as a Community Center and/or Teen Center, development of <br />additional Community Gardens and healthy eating programs, team sports, and individual fitness <br />programming, especially at the Senior Center. <br />Hart Middle School
