Parks <br /> <br />Pleasanton's Municipal Facilities Master Plan of 1990 identifies the types of parks Pleasanton <br />provides to assure a variety of usable outdoor spaces for its residents. These facilities <br />include: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Neighborhood Parks, at a minimum of two acres per thousand residents. These <br />parks should be distributed throughout the City such that no residence is farther than <br />half a mile from a neighborhood park. In order for neighborhood parks to be <br />adaptable for many uses, they should have a minimum offour contiguous acres and <br />be configured to minimize the length of their perimeter. <br /> <br />Community Active Use Parks, at a minimum level of three acres per thousand <br />residents. These parks are intended for group use for sports and picnicking and <br />should have a minimum size of 20 contiguous acres. Facilities usually include <br />restrooms, group picnic areas, and parking, and may additionally provide a <br />community center, aquatics facility, tennis courts, ballfields or facilities for other <br />sports. <br /> <br />Community Special Use Parks, at a minimum of one acre per thousand residents. <br />These parks address specific needs and can be of any size and configuration. <br />Examples include small downtown parks for civic functions and parks, surrounding a <br />special historic feature. <br /> <br />Community Nature/Open Space Parks, at a minimum of four acres per thousand <br />residents. These areas supplement larger regional parks providing local space for <br />day camps, picnicking, and services for all city residents. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Table 11 indicates the location and acreage of Pleasanton's parks. <br /> <br />122 <br />
