Conservation and Open Space Element. Pleasanton currently provides about 5.1 acres of improved neighborhood and community parks per 1,000 population, slightly above the national standard of five acres per 1,000. With development of planned parks at General Plan buildout (see below) this will increase the parks per 1,000 population figure to about 5.8 acres per 1,000 population. Since adoption of the 1996 General Plan, the following parks and recreation projects have been completed: Callippe Preserve Golf Course consisting of a 145-acre, I 8-hoIe, par-72 course of 6,800 yards, with a 7,450 square-foot ranch-style club house, a short-game practice area, a 20-stall practice range and 280 acres of open space (173 acres owned by the City and 107 acres of the Koopman Ranch under a conservation easement); renovation of Valley Trails Park; a 50-meter pool and new bathhouse at the Delores Bengston Aquatic Center; additional tennis, handball, and basketball courts and also a children's play area at Pleasanton Tennis and Community Park; development of Creekside and Owens Plaza neighborhood parks in Hacienda Business Park; development of Fawn Hills neighborhood park on the west side of the Bernal Property; development of Laurel Creek neighborhood park on Laurel Creek Drive; improvement and expansion of Val Vista Community Park; development of the 2.65-acre BMX park with dirt tracks used for bicycle moto-cross racing; major improvements at the PIeasanton Unified School District's Upper Field, Kottinger Community Park, and FairIands Park; and improvements to sections of the Community Trails System in the Downtown area, along arroyos, and within the surrounding hillsides. PIeasanton plans to continue its past efforts to expand park and recreation facilities, In the General Plan horizon (2005 to 2025) several additional parks will be developed to serve the Pleasanton Community: . The 50-acre Bernal Community Park is set within the larger Bemal Property Central Area (159 acres). The Community Park is anticipated to include several lighted sports fields; Phase I, consisting of three fields (two lighted) and parking, has been approved and will be under construction in the near future. Phase II of the Community Park could include other lighted sports fields and courts (soccer, footbaIVIacrosse, baseball, tennis). Planning for the larger Bernal Property is in process and the property will likely include a Cultural Arts Center (potential amphitheater, art gallery, art studios and classrooms), community/teen center, Grand Park, and wetlands and agriculture. . An approximate 17-acre Community Park is planned on the Staples Ranch property. The City will work with the community to plan specific amenities, such as footbalVIacrosse and baseball/softball fields among other facilities, . A community park is planned on reclaimed quarry land on Pleasanton's east side, The City has not yet determined functions of this park, but its location may provide an opportunity for additional lighted sports fields and/or as a gateway to the "chain of lakes" area. . The Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan identified a 20-acre community park site. This property is currently owned by the Pleasanton Garbage Service, Inc.
