All city parks could benefit from targeted <br />improvements and funding to elevate their quality from <br />good to excellent. The assessment sheds light into how <br />each park could be improved to help meet the community’s <br />growing recreational needs. <br />WHAT IS WORKING: <br />Diverse Activities: Larger parks offer a variety of <br />amenities for different age groups. <br />Pedestrian Connectivity: Most parks have a well- <br />connected path system that ties into adjacent sidewalks <br />and trails. <br />Comfort Amenities: Generally, bathrooms, benches, <br />trash receptacles, and water fountains are present in <br />parks. The distribution of these amenities within parks, <br />however, could be improved. <br />Intuitive Layout and Design: Most parks are well- <br />organized with logically placed amenities. <br />Sense of Safety: Minimal signs of unauthorized use exists <br />within San Leandro’s parks. <br />AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT: <br />Variable Facility Condition: Some park amenities need <br />maintenance or replacement, particularly park restrooms, <br />trash receptacles, and paving. <br />Shade and Vegetation: Though some parks are well- <br />shaded by mature trees, most lack adequate shade. <br />Additionally, planting beds are often empty or sparsely <br />planted. <br />Park Size: Small park sizes limit park amenities and <br />use. These parks often suffer from noise pollution from <br />adjacent traffic. <br />Poor Turf Condition: Broad-leaf weeds have <br />overtaken many park lawns and fields. An improved turf <br />management program is needed. <br />Park Signage: Signage is minimal and dated in San <br />Leandro parks. Increased signage would improve <br />wayfinding and park system branding. <br />San Leandro Park Master Plan | 48 DRAFT DRAFT 49 | Our Needs and Opportunities
