TITLE: Parks and Recreation Master Plan Study Session
RECOMMENDED ACTION
That the City Council receive an update and provide input on the parks and recreation master plan.
BACKGROUND
On March 19, 2024, the City Council awarded a contract to MIG, Inc for the development of the City’s first Parks and Recreation Master Plan. On April 12, 2024, staff conducted a kickoff meeting with MIG and began working through the data collection stage of the master plan. MIG attended the Youth Commission meeting on May 6, 2024 to gather input from our teen community and began conducting interviews with various community stakeholders. Staff focused on identifying community members that are Spanish speaking, live in a park deficient area, or are involved in volunteering in our parks when identifying key stakeholders.
In June, MIG conducted a site tour visiting all parks and recreation facilities offered in Campbell. They attended the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting on June 5, 2024 to provide an overview of the planning process and receive input from the Commission. Additionally, in collaboration with EMC Research, the statistically valid survey was deployed via telephone and internet for two weeks, May 29 – June 9, in both English and Spanish.
In July, MIG provided City staff with community input boards to continue to gather input from both active and passive users of Campbell’s park and recreation system. Pop -up events were conducted by City staff at multiple Farmer’s Market events, a variety of events hosted in July for Park and Recreation Month, an AARP meeting as well as multiple local parks as pop -up events. In August, a community survey was launched and on September 4, 2024 a community workshop was hosted at the Community Center. Over the last several months, MIG and City staff have worked to gather information and collect data from a wide array of community members.

The preliminary needs assessment for Campbell's park and recreation system offers a comprehensive analysis of the current state of parkland access, facility conditions, recreation programming, and health equity within the community. This assessment is informed by MIG’s on the ground visual conditions assessment and system inventory along with data collected through the statistically valid survey, community pop up events and workshop and the widely distributed community survey. Together, these insights form a robust framework for discussing emerging trends and prioritizing the specific needs of Campbell’s residents.
Parkland Access
While many residents of Campbell feel there is adequate access to parks, an access analysis reveals significant gaps in parkland provision. The Campbell 2040 General Plan aims for 3 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents, but currently, the City provides only 1.7 acres per 1,000 residents, based on an estimated population of 43,959.
Including additional recreational assets located within the City (i.e. parks and open space provided by other agencies) increases this to 2 acres per 1,000 residents. A 10 - minute walk analysis, which is the equivalent to a half mile walk for an able -bodied person, shows service gaps in the northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest areas of the city. (See Attachment A for map details. ) Despite the inclusion of non -City parkland, these gaps persist, highlighting deficiencies in both acreage and distribution of parkland in Campbell. One method to address these gaps would be through partnerships with local recreation providers or agencies in these areas to increase access to parkland or to provide additional amenities. If no land acquisition or partnership opportunities exist then there should be consideration for higher investment as Campbell parks are serving a larger service area, beyond a standard 10 -minute walk.
Recreation Facilities
Our recreation network includes a diverse array of facilities, including athletic spaces, outdoor areas, and major community sites. The recent condition assessment reveals that while over half of these facilities are in good or excellent condition, a significant portion—particularly outdoor assets —require urgent maintenance and/or renovation.
Key facilities, such as the Campbell Community Center, face challenges due to aging infrastructure and lack of modern amenities, which limits their effectiveness as community hubs.
To maintain and enhance our recreation offerings, continued investment in these facilities is essential. The Campbell Community Center, in particular, requires significant renovations and improved accessibility to better serve our residents. All sites included in the City’s recreation network will require continued maintenance and repair and/or replacement as assets move through their lifecycles.
Recreation Programming
Despite the existing recreation services, there appears to be a gap in community awareness and engagement. Residents have expressed a strong desire for more 1 Packet Pg. 4
Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 3 of 4
community event programming, especially in neighborhood parks, which could foster greater community interaction and satisfaction.
Health Equity Assessment
The health equity assessment indicates that certain census tracts in Campbell, particularly in the western and northern regions, experience higher rates of chronic diseases and mental health issues. These findings underscore the importance of equitable access to recreational resources, as improved parks and facilities could contribute positively to community health outcomes. See Attachment B for maps detailing the health equity assessment.
Specific Site Needs
Throughout this process of data collection some emerging trends for site specific improvements have been identified.
• Campbell Community Center : Urgent needs include pool renovations, enhanced entryways for safety and wayfinding, and improvements to the skate park to better serve the community. This assessment does not include additional building/infrastructure maintenance needs at this location. • John D. Morgan Park : Major repairs are needed for picnic areas, and renovations to the northern playground should be prioritized to enhance community gathering spaces. While this assessment does not include an evaluation of the irrigation system or other supporting infrastructure, these elements have been identified by staff as in need of renovation/replacement. • Los Gatos Creek Trail : As a critical non -vehicular corridor, the trail requires significant investment due to many assets being in poor condition. Community feedback emphasizes the importance of maintaining and improving this trail.
Community members have prioritized repairing and replacing existing infrastructure and assets over building or adding new. However, there is modest interest in more unique and/or challenging park facilities such as destination play features and a skate park.
In summary, the preliminary needs assessment highlights critical areas for improvement within Campbell's recreation system. By addressing parkland access, enhancing facility conditions, expanding programming, and focusing on health equity, we can significantly improve the community's recreational resources and overall quality of life. Moving forward, it is imperative that we prioritize these needs in our strategic planning and resource allocation efforts. Some key questions for Council include:
• Were there any findings that surprised you?
• Do you feel that something was not identified or is missing that you feel should be included?
• Should the City increase its level of service for Campbell parks, facilities, programs, and maintenance?
o If yes, is this a modest increase or a substantial increase and should one component be the main focus? ( i.e. parkland, facilities, programs, maintenance)
• It will take significant financial resources to accomplish and/or address all the findings in this report. What are the top two priorities for Council? 1 Packet Pg. 5

NEXT STEPS
Following this meeting the Parks and Recreation Master Plan development will move into the next phase of visioning, priorities, recommendations, and implementation. A variety of tasks and continued community outreach efforts will take place to help prioritize identified needs prior to the draft plan being developed.
