Reimagining <br />Underutilized Parks <br />San Leandro is home to a diverse range of parks. <br />While some are heavily used and may face issues <br />of overutilization, others are underutilized, presenting <br />opportunities for reimagining their potential to better align <br />with the evolving needs and desires of the community. <br />Although specific recommendations will be provided <br />in Chapter 5, the following underutilized parks present <br />unique opportunities for thoughtful enhancement: <br />• Stenzel Park is underutilized but has limited space <br />for additional amenities. Creative approaches could <br />explore how to maximize its current features or <br />replace low-use amenities with amenities that would <br />better meet community needs. <br />• Toyon Park faces spatial constraints, which require <br />careful planning to introduce new features or <br />reconfigure existing ones to attract greater use. <br />• Thrasher Park, like Stenzel, is underutilized but has <br />limited potential for new amenities without impacting <br />its sports fields. The park’s skate park, in particular, <br />needs to be reimagined and improved. <br />• Marina Park is heavily used but features expansive, <br />unprogrammed lawn areas that could accommodate <br />some new amenities or community programs. <br />MAP 4.3 | Residential Areas within 1/2 mile (10-minute Walk) of a Park or School Site <br />LEGEND <br />1/2 Mile Walk to City Park <br />1/2 Mile Walk to School <br />Residential Area <br />San Leandro City Parks <br />Regional Parks <br />Planned Parks <br />Golf Clubs <br />Public Open Space <br />City Boundary <br />Community Center <br />Aquatic Facility <br />School Facilities <br />Planned San Leandro <br />Creek Trail <br />Existing SF Bay Trail <br />Planned SF Bay Trail <br />Bart Lines <br />Rail Roads <br />San Leandro Park Master Plan | 58 DRAFT DRAFT 59 | Our Needs and Opportunities
