The development of the San Leandro Recreation and Parks Master Plan involved an extensive public engagement process, including pop-up events, focus groups, three workshops, a statistically valid survey, and more. Much of the gathered information focused on the San Leandro Recreation & Park System as a whole, addressing community-wide needs for parks. The planning and design team carefully analyzed these insights to identify specific improvements to Washington Manor Park that would most effectively address residents’ needs. As illustrated in Figure 2.1, the Master Plan identified nine key community priorities. Implementing the Concept Plan will help address three of these priorities: expanding amenities, improving access to parks, and enhancing comfort and environmental sustainability. Additionally, the Recreation & Parks Master Plan’s statistically valid survey (see Figure 2.2) highlighted key park amenity priorities. High priorities such as an expanded walking/jogging track, shade structures, picnic areas, natural open space, play ground equipment, and off-leash dog area are incorporated into the Washington Manor Concept Plan.
