Summary <br />The project rehabilitates the park based on the 2005 master plan, including renovation of the parking area, lower <br />area, playground areas, picnic area and amphitheater. <br />Description <br />This project will prepare construction documents and construct improvements at Chabot Park consistent with the <br />approved plan prepared by Harris Design in 2005. The plan includes renovating the parking area, lower area, <br />playground areas, picnic area and amphitheater. <br />Justification or Benefit of Project <br />Parks provide a neighborhood gathering place, creating a sense of community; provide open spaces; and provide a <br />place for children to play, create, grow and imagine. One of the things people look for in considering the health of a <br />city and its desirability as a place in which to live are the parks, including their accessibility, cleanliness and <br />amenities. Investing in our parks maintains our investment in our infrastructure and increases the community’s pride <br />in the community. The more attractive and well maintained our parks, the better they will be thought of and treated <br />by those who use them. Chabot Park, like all of our parks, is heavily used by the public. It is also a “beloved” park by <br />San Leandro citizens, as the Chabot Day Camp has been held here for decades. The new plans will maintain the <br />same rustic look and theme but will improve the condition and safety of the parking area, picnic area, play areas and <br />play equipment and offer enhanced recreational experiences throughout the park. The parking area is desperately in <br />need of reconfiguration and resurfacing due to erosion by cars and weather. The single highest complaint about <br />Chabot Park is the difficulty in getting children in and out of the park during the summer. <br />Consequences of not doing the Project <br />The neighborhood will continue to be impacted by the heavy amount of traffic and patrons traveling through the area <br />and parking outside of the park. Safety issues will continue unless we address the inadequate parking and <br />pedestrians on the narrow bridge. <br />Project Numb 2003.0160Project Typ Parks and Open Space <br />Detailed Cost $4,557,000 Status Active <br />Department/Sponsor Recreation & Human Servic <br />Impact to Operation Cost Impact to Maintenance Cost Significant Increase <br />Likely Cost <br />Categor Parks and Open Space <br />Project Name Chabot Park Master Plan Construction <br />82
