Pleasanton Parks and Recreation Master Plan

4-4 Pleasanton Parks and Recreation Master Plan Section Four – Recreation Facility Recommendations 2014 Exhibit 4.2‐2 Proposed Recreation Pool Addition at Dolores Bengtson Aquatics Center 4.2.4 Community Center Previous planning efforts included long‐range planning for a Community Center at the Bernal Community Park. This building is needed for multiple uses to satisfy a shortage of a variety of functional indoor spaces. Community Centers are often considered the heart of the community, a place where residents come together for recreation, learning, socializing, growing, and health. Recommended Actions: 1. Consideration should be given for the following programmed functions within the ultimate footprint of the building or building complex: Teen Center, Library, meeting rooms and classroom spaces, flexible recreation room, banquet hall and kitchen, Community Services Department offices, as well as other City Administrative Offices. A rough footprint of at least 60,000 square feet should be targeted for space planning and budgeting to contain the program elements. Exhibit 4.2‐3 identifies the proposed location to add the Community Center. It is recommended that the City initiate a planning and review process for evaluation of the market value and reuse, sale or redevelopment options for properties that may be vacated as part of this reorganization of civic spaces.
