City Parks As mentioned above and illustrated in Table 2.1, San Leandro residents are served by a range of park facilities, which are further classified in Chapter 6: Open Space, Parks, and Conservation of San Leandro’s General Plan, as follows: REGIONAL PARKS Typically larger than 30 acres and include a mix of conservation areas and active recreation areas. They draw visitors from beyond the city limits and may feature unique natural features or regional attractions. Oyster Bay Regional Shoreline is the only regional park within San Leandro; though, the Anthony Chabot Regional Park neighbors San Leandro’s to the Northeast and is also a great recreational asset to the community. Both are operated by East Bay Regional Park District which comprises a system of 73 parks spanning over 125,000 acres across both Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. COMMUNITY PARKS Range in size from 5 to 30 acres. Each park serves multiple neighborhoods and contains a wide variety of active and passive recreational facilities. The city currently has three Community Parks (Chabot, Marina, and Washington Manor) that total nearly 37 acres of parkland. NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS Are typically 2 to 10 acres in size and provide for the daily recreational needs of area residents. They often have large lawn areas for informal sports and play activities. They may include facilities such as tennis courts and tot lots, but usually do not include major facilities such as lighted ballfields. San Leandro currently has eleven neighborhood parks throughout the community, totaling 41 acres. MINI PARKS Are usually less than an acre in size and accommodate small recreational facilities such as picnic tables and tot lots. The city has three mini parks, totaling 1.4 acres. SPECIAL-USE PARKS Include facilities which serve a specific need or population group. Burrel Field, Dog Park, and Heath Park are the City’s Special-Use Parks, comprising 16 acres.
