AGENDA REPORT
DATE: March 4, 2025
TO: Fairfield Housing Authority Chair and Commissioners FROM: David Gassaway, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Resolution HA2025-01 HD Housing Assistance Payment and Contract with Danco Authorizing the Executive Director of the City of Fairfield Housing Authority to Execute an Agreement to Enter into a Housing Assistance Payment and a Housing Assistance Payment Contract with Fairfield Texas Street LP for 50 Project Based Vouchers to Create Permanent Supportive Housing at 3331 North Texas Street in the City of Fairfield Funding Source: N/A
Contact: Tanya Tran, (707) 428-7391

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Fairfield Texas Street LP (Danco) executed a Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) with the owners of the Sure Stay Motel at 3331 North Texas Street to convert the property into 51 units of Permanent Supportive Housing. Danco requests that the City provide Project Based Vouchers (PBVs) for rental assistance to the homeless population intended for the site. If the City provides the PBVs, the executive director must execute an agreement to enter into a Housing Assistance Payment (AHAP) with the developer to secure financing before construction and a Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract after construction completion before lease-up. The 50 PBVs requested for this project will help secure state HomeKey financing, enhance the affordability of housing units, and create Permanent Supportive Housing for homeless households experiencing behavioral health conditions.

DISCUSSION
Background
On January 16, 2025, Fairfield Housing Authority (FHA) issued a request for proposals (RFP) to solicit eligible proposals from developers who needed Project Based Section 8 Vouchers to create Permanent Supportive Housing for behavioral health clients who are homeless or at risk of

homelessness that may be veterans, young people, elderly or other individuals. Proposals were due no later than February 10, 2025, by 5 pm. Per the RFP, late proposals received after that deadline would be rejected.

On February 10, by 5 pm, FHA received one proposal from Danco. On February 12, 2025, FHA received another proposal from Enough Housing LLC. FHA rejected Enough Housing LLC's proposal based on the RFP provisions.

Application and Review Process
A review panel of three City employees from the City Manager's Office, FHA, and Parks & Recreation ranked and reviewed the proposal(s) based on the following criteria:
 Qualifications and Experience
 Commitment to providing Long-term Affordable Housing
 Availability of units to serve homeless, at risk of homelessness families with extremely low incomes, and disabled homeless or at risk of homeless veterans  Bedroom Count
 Readiness for immediate move-in
 Deconcentration
 Capacity of Team
 Bonus- Proximity of site to neighborhood services and health care facility.

The final score for the eligible proposal was as follows:

Proposer Score
Danco 81
Danco proposes to convert the 100-unit Sure Stay Motel into 51 units, 50 of which will be Permanent Supportive Housing units funded by a mix of City and HomeKey + funds. The units will serve Solano County behavioral health clients who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

All 50 units will be studios of about 500 square feet. A minimum of 15% of the completed units will include features accessible to persons with mobility disabilities, and a minimum of 10% will consist of features accessible to persons with hearing or vision disabilities. Outdoor amenities may include but are not limited to, a pool, dog run, smoking area, small community garden, pickle or basketball court, and a barbeque area. Indoor amenities will include kitchenettes in each unit, lounges, an elevator, an exercise room, a laundry room, a manager's office, a security office, and a large community room.

If the project successfully obtains HomeKey financing, construction will be completed within 14 months of the HomeKey award. The estimated date of availability of units is May 1, 2026.

The PBV award is conditioned upon the successful completion of an environmental review. Subsidy voucher payments will be determined prior to executing the Housing Assistance Payment Agreement (HAP). The amount shall be the lesser of the FHA payment standard, fair

market rent established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), or a rent comparison study of comparable market-rate apartments.

The recommended allocation reflects the City's commitment to addressing homelessness and expanding affordable housing opportunities to extremely low-income residents.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial or administrative impact on the FHA. The estimated annual cost of housing assistance payments does not change. FHA will not incur additional liability or financial exposure if the Project-Based Vouchers are awarded.

PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
An RFP was issued on January 16, 2025. The RFP sought proposals from qualified applicants for Project-Based Vouchers with Multi-Unit Residential Projects servicing populations with specific needs.

Notices were published in the Daily Republic Newspaper and on the City of Fairfield website to alert the public of the RFP. Notices also went out to a list of developers who expressed interest or developed projects in the City of Fairfield.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may choose not to approve the resolution to award PBVs to Danco. However, this decision could result in HUD recapturing unspent prior-year funds. It would also result in a missed opportunity to support the development of permanent supportive housing for homeless individuals.

To whom it may concern,
The Danco Group of Companies’ mission is to provide safe and affordable housing while improving our communities and satisfying our customers. Danco Communities, the developer entity of the Danco Group of Companies, is excited to submit this proposal in hopes of being chosen by The City of Fairfield for funding 50 project-based vouchers to our Vista Ridge project.

The Danco Group is a diversified group of companies in the real estate and construction industries and offers a one‐stop shop for development, construction, and property management.

We have over 35 years of successful business in these industries and offer a breath of knowledge and skill in developing affordable housing. We can be an effective partner with The City of Fairfield in accomplishing its goals of increasing the supply of affordable housing. We look forward to working with the city and drawing on our companies’ strengths as an industry leader in multiple domains to be able to produce more housing faster and less expensively by collaboratively developing innovative means to speed up construction and cut costs.

The fact that the Danco Group offers development, construction and property management and resident services is a strength to us and our development partners. Each of our core teams works closely together throughout the life of a project, creating an environment of collaboration. The project team consists of Chris Dart, Leader of Danco Communities, Cameron Dart, Project Manager, McKenzie Dibble, Senior Project Manager & Hailey Wilson, Grant Manager.

Danco Communities would be honored by the opportunity to work with the city to develop the Vista Ridge project located at 3331 N Texas Street. We are passionate about bringing affordable housing to populations in need all over the western United States.

Vista Ridge is a 50-unit rehabilitation of Motel 6 on Texas Street in Fairfield, CA. The project will serve individuals which are experiencing a Behavioral Health Challenge and experiencing or at risk of homelessness. This project will be funded through the Homekey+ program. The project is expected to be completed within 14 months of a Homekey+ award. Lease up date is tentatively 5/1/2026.

Please see attached operating proforma in Exhibit A.

4 Project Information
The Motel 6 on Texas street currently holds 100 units as a short stay motel. Danco is planning on converting this motel into 50 units of permanent supportive housing that will be funded by a mix of City funds and Homekey+ funds which will house individuals which are experiencing a Behavioral Health Challenge and experiencing or at risk of homelessness. These units will serve Solano County behavioral health clients that are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

The project, Vista Ridge, is located at 3331 Texas Street, Fairfield, CA. The census tract is 2526.07. There is only one building on-site and the units are currently around 250 square feet.

We are going to be combining 2 units to make a total of 50 units that will be around 500 square feet. All 50 units will be studios, and we will follow the accessibility requirements of the Homekey+ program which is 15% mobility and 10% visual and hearing. These units will be available 14 months from the Homekey+ award. We are currently working on the application, and awards are being made on a first come first serve basis. The estimated date of availability for the units is 5/1/2026.

Deconcentrating Poverty & Expanding Housing and Economic Opportunities The project is surrounded by a neighborhood that offers access to public infrastructure, including transportation, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and community services in Fairfield.

This accessibility ensures that residents are not geographically or socially marginalized, allowing them to engage within the community. Bringing 50 units of permanent supportive housing to the market is going to directly address the critical shortage of affordable housing options for individuals with behavioral health challenges and those experiencing homelessness. The project will have on-site services which includes a resident services coordinator who will work with residents to get them access to trainings such as employment training and employment placement assistance, kill development, resume support and other trainings.

Amenities
The project is located near quite a lot of amenities including a bus stop within .25 miles, a pharmacy, a park, a grocery store, and much more. There is also a lot of employment opportunities in the area such as Starbucks, Shell, Raleys, Subway, Texas Roadhouse and much more.

Proforma
Attached as Exhibit A please find a proforma which includes the operating proforma and operating budget. You will also find the proposed rent and you will find a zero-dollar utility allowance. The property will pay for all tenant utilities including water, sewer, garbage, trash and electricity/heating. The proforma will also show that we are projecting a 20-year contract with the City of Fairfield for the PBV’s. Tenant rents are being charged based on 1/3 of SSI. This is the allowable rent for a person on SSI to pay for housing. It is also less than the amount allowed to be changed by the Heath & Safety Code Rents.

5 Site Control & Ownership Entity
Danco has site control under a purchase and sales agreement for $12,000,001. The project will be purchased by a limited partnership, Fairfield Texas Street LP. This LP is made up of an administrative partner which is an affiliated company of Danco and a managing general partner which is a non-profit organization, Community Revitalization and Development Corporation.

The non-profit partner allows the project to get a property tax exemption which alleviates the operating budget.

Experience/Project Team
Developer
Danco Communities, the developer, is an established leading developer in the field of affordable housing, with a proven track record of delivering high-quality, sustainable, and communitycentered projects across diverse regions. With over 20 years of experience, Danco Communities has consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to addressing the housing needs of vulnerable populations, including low-income families, individuals experiencing homelessness, seniors, and those with behavioral health challenges. Danco Communities specializes in the development, construction, and management of affordable housing projects that cater to a broad spectrum of community needs. Our portfolio includes a wide range of housing solutions, from multi-family residential complexes to permanent supportive housing, reflecting their adaptability and comprehensive understanding of affordable housing dynamics.

Our company’s development strategy emphasizes sustainability, innovative design, and community integration. Danco Communities leverages environmentally friendly building practices, energy-efficient technologies, and trauma-informed design principles to create housing environments that promote the well-being of residents while minimizing environmental impact.

Beyond construction, Danco Communities prioritize creating supportive living environments through strategic partnerships with local service providers. These collaborations ensure that residents have access to essential services, including mental health support, case management, vocational training, and educational programs. This holistic approach helps residents achieve housing stability and enhances their quality of life.

Danco Communities also engages with local stakeholders, government agencies, and community organizations throughout the development process. This inclusive approach fosters community buy-in, ensures that projects align with local needs, and supports the long-term success and sustainability of their developments.

Danco Communities has developed around 2,100 units to date which includes over 40 developments. Danco Communities is unique to a lot of other development companies as we are able to oversee the project for the life of the project. This starts with the vision of development and continues into operations. We have found that this model is not only beneficial to ensure the vision has come to life the intended way but also to see what is working and what isn’t working for our future developments. An example of this is we found on one of our supportive housing

6 projects that the service provider’s office was not in a convenient location and now we ensure that all the offices for the service providers are near the common areas and have two doors so there are always 2 places to exit the office.

Attached as Exhibit B there is a list of our inventory of projects developed.

Property Manager
Danco Property Management, the intended property manager, has been managing affordable housing projects for over 15 years. They have a specialty in permanent supportive housing and work closely with service providers to ensure the residents have access to every service they need.

Danco Property Management specializes in overseeing a wide range of residential properties, including affordable housing developments, permanent supportive housing, mixed-income communities, and senior living facilities. Their expertise encompasses all facets of property management, including leasing, maintenance, compliance with affordable housing regulations, financial oversight, and resident engagement.

The company’s management approach is rooted in best practices that prioritize operational efficiency, fiscal responsibility, and the long-term sustainability of each property. Danco Property Management ensures that properties are well-maintained, financially stable, and compliant with all local, state, and federal housing requirements
Their current portfolio is managing around 1,500 units with another 200 expected to come online in the next 2 years.

Attached as Exhibit C there is a list of our inventory of projects managed.

Supportive Services
THRIVE, an affiliated company with Danco, is the intended service provider. The future tenants of Vista Ridge will have 2 full-time case managers and a resident service coordinator that will be providing services.

The on-site Case Managers will work with residents to create an individualized services plan (ISP) or specific goals around resident sustaining services. ISP’s will include their goals for housing retention and overall well-being and will identify concrete steps toward those goals. The case manager will meet weekly or as needed to track progress toward their goals troubleshoot barriers. Key action areas include:
 Behavioral Health. The case manager will help residents identify behavioral health care resources for substance abuse and mental health, and will offer some services (e.g., support groups) on-site. If a resident seeks deeper clinical support and is already connected with a health care provider, the case manager will help them to arrange appointments and/or transportation. If a new provider needs to be put in place, the case manager will assist in identifying options.

7  Physical Health. The case manager will help residents identify physical health care needs. If a resident is already connected with a health care provider, the case manager will help them to identify public transit or other commuting options and support them in tracking appointments and medical follow-up to the extent that the resident is comfortable sharing that information. If the resident does not have a provider, staff will support the resident in seeking out new providers.
 Connecting with Benefits. The case manager will assess all residents for benefit eligibility and will help them apply as needed. These will include both cash and non-cash benefits. The case manager will also assist residents with acquiring any documentation they did not have upon entry, including disability documentation, proof of income, etc.

As the Resident Services provider, the Resident Services Coordinator will assist the residents with connecting individuals and families with basic needs, including food, transportation, as well as health, wellness, and community engagement opportunities within the community and surrounding area. Service Coordinators will be assisting tenants to access services through referral and advocacy and will be organizing community-building and/or other enrichment activities for tenants (such as holiday events, tenant council, etc.). Resident Services Coordinator provides individualized assistance, counseling and/or advocacy to tenants, such as to assist them to access education, secure employment, secure benefits, gain skills or improve health and wellness. Includes, but is not limited to: Vocational/Employment Counselor, ADL or Supported Living Specialist, Substance Abuse or Mental Health Counselor, Peer Counselor, Domestic Violence Counselor

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
In October 2021, the city contracted with design consultant, Gates + Associates Landscape Architecture (Gates) to complete a master plan for the Matt Garcia Community Park. The proposed master plan is the culmination of extensive outreach and research to design a new community park that meets the current and future needs of the City. The proposed resolution authorizes the City Council to adopt the Matt Garcia Community Park Master Plan (Master Plan).

DISCUSSION
The development of the City’s Train Station Specific Plan (TSSP) envisions a park system that provides residents and visitors with a meaningful public space experience while promoting active participation and healthy lifestyles. The TSSP includes a roughly 50-acre community park previously referred to as the Northeast Fairfield Great Park. The City now owns all of the parkland identified in the Master Plan. On September 7, 2021, the council adopted Resolution 2021-212 to name the planned Great Park in honor of former City Councilmember Matt Garcia.

Subsequently, the City planning and design documents began referring to the Great Park as the Matt Garcia Community Park (Park).

The Park is intended to serve future city growth and respond to existing needs in the community.

The proposed Park will be located along Vanden Road approximately 1.5 miles east of the Fairfield-Vacaville Hannigan Train Station. In 2013, preliminary planning envisioned the Park

being constructed in four separate phases. Per TSSP Policy 4-18, the landowners in Planning Areas 4 and 5 shall be responsible for the construction of a minimum of 16 of the total 50 acres of the Park. The remainder of the Park shall be constructed by the City or by developers, if required by the City through development conditions of approval of subsequent development entitlements.

The actual construction of the estimated $17.5 million (in 2013 dollars) Park is contingent on continued development in the surrounding area.

In October 2021, the City entered into a professional services agreement with Gates to complete the Master Plan design (Project) for the Park. Gates conducted multiple new investigations and preliminary studies on the undeveloped site over 16 months, including environmental and traffic studies, and reviewed previous environmental studies to determine compliance with existing permits. Another significant component of the Project included extensive interaction with the community. The community engagement portion of the Project included both virtual and inperson meetings, booths at community events, a website, and a survey. Gates used both small focus meetings with individual groups of City staff, various stakeholder user groups, the Vacaville Parks and Recreation Department, and larger community meetings with the community at large.

The outcome of the investigations, studies, and outreach resulted in a cohesive, multi-phased Master Plan that will fulfill current and future needs within the city, as seen in the Preferred Design Concept Plan. Key elements of the Master Plan include:
 Recreation Center (40,000 square feet includes a gymnasium, administrative space, event space, fitness space, and Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics [STEAM] classrooms)
 Splash pad
 Adventure playground
 Outdoor amphitheater
 All-wheels track (a paved track or circuit within a park that has a series of banked turns, rollers, and jumps that riders navigate using a pumping motion rather than pedaling)  Picnic areas (shade structures, table, and trash)
 Five sod soccer fields
 One synthetic turf soccer field
 Concession stand
 Eight tennis courts
 Six pickleball courts
 Restrooms
 Dog park (Small and large)
 Community Plaza
 Perimeter pedestrian path
 Memorial wall
 Pedestrian bridge

The Master Plan is split into five total phases, as follows:

Phase Acreage Estimate
2023
Description
Phase 1 16 $29,668,425 Entry Road, Roundabout/Drop Off, Dog Park, Soccer Fields, and Pedestrian Bridge
Phase 1A 13.5 $6,733,126 Loop Road
Phase 2 8 $19,272,391 Soccer Fields and Trail
Phase 3 6.5 $13,576,907 Sports Courts, All-Wheel Track, and Adventure Playground
Phase 4 4.2 $52,707,479 Recreation Center, Amphitheater, Splash Pad, and North Entry at Future Vanden Road Extension
Total 48.2 $121,958,328
The total estimate to construct the Park with the above-mentioned infrastructure and amenities is approximately $122 million (in 2023 dollars).

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Adoption of the Master Plan does not have an immediate financial impact on the City. However, full implementation of the Park requires approximately $122 million (in 2023 dollars) to complete.

The City has identified the Assembly Bill (AB) 1600 Park fee (Fund 263), as adopted in 2013, as one funding source for the park's construction. Per the AB1600 fee program, the Park has funding identified in four phases, as listed below, totaling $28,299,454 (in 2023 dollars). The remaining $93,700,546 gap in funding for the park's design and construction could be filled by grants, partnerships, fundraising campaigns, or loans.

The city is currently conducting a new AB1600 Development Impact Fee study to assess funding for future park improvements. The analysis's purpose is to ensure that future development contributes its fair share of costs to enhancing the park and recreational spaces in Fairfield. Staff will return to the council later to share the findings and next steps.

Phase Acreage 2013 Estimate 2023 Escalated Cost
Phase 1 16.5 $7,507,500 $10,859,093
Phase 2 16.5 $7,507,500 $10,859,093
Phase 3 5 $2,275,000 $3,290,634
Phase 4 5 $2,275,000 $3,290,634
Total 43 $19,565,000 $28,299,454
Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment to the Development Agreement, Exhibit 13-1 between the city and One Lake Holding LLC. (developer), the developer is required to construct the 16.5 acres of the Park. In exchange, the developer will receive AB1600 Park fees and Bedroom Tax fee

credits. Staff has conducted preliminary discussions with the developer and will return to city council with any proposed modifications or revisions to the development agreement at a future meeting.

As the final design and preliminary cost estimates were put together for the Master Plan, two newly identified items significantly increased the final cost from what was proposed by the AB1600 fee program in 2013. These two items total roughly $48 million dollars.  The entire Park site needs to be raised approximately eight feet to meet the grade for the widening of Vanden Road. This means roughly 791,000 cubic yards of dirt will need to be imported into the site. This was not accounted for in the preliminary design estimates of the TSSP and adopted AB1600 Fees. The imported soil cost is estimated at roughly $12,900,000.
 A large recreation center was not included in the preliminary design of the TSSP, though it was very clear from the outreach phase of the Project that there was a significant need to provide that type of amenity to the community. The recreation center is roughly 40,000 square feet and includes a gymnasium, administrative space, event space, fitness space, and STEAM classrooms. The Parks and Recreation Department is anticipating to program this space and rent out rooms to generate revenue. The estimated cost, in 2023 dollars, is $35,000,000.

Some other factors that account for the increased cost estimates include additional roadway in the Park to create a loop for increased safety and accessibility, increased parking, larger playground areas, concession stands at the soccer fields, multiple restroom buildings at each hub of recreation, and an increase in the number of proposed sports courts. The remainder of the cost increase is due to significant cost increases for all items that far outweigh the escalation factor used.

As the Park is constructed, ongoing maintenance will need to be budgeted. Per the recently adopted Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Masterplan, the best practice cost per acre maintenance for a community park is roughly $12,000 per acre. The estimated annual cost for the Park is $600,000 per year (in 2025 dollars).

The maintenance of the Park is intended to be funded by portions of Community Facilities District Nos. 2018-1 and 2023-2. Per resolution 2018-214, only 22% of the Development Agreement services component goes towards park maintenance. Thus, at full buildout of Canon Station, generated park maintenance funding will be roughly $322,000. The $322,000 is intended to maintain all of the parks in the TSSP, not only the Park.

PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
The City and its consultant conducted multiple types of outreach from March 2022 to April 2023 to assess the amenities being requested for this new park. The City and its consultants held internal staff meetings, meetings with adjacent agencies, such as Vacaville, meetings with specific user groups, such as soccer, and meetings with the community at large. There were also multiple pop-up events where City staff and the consultant went to regularly scheduled public events to

engage the community at their convenience. City staff and the consultant also created a webpage that was open for the duration of the Project and a survey.

For additional details on the Project’s robust community outreach process, refer to Chapter 3 of the Master Plan.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
If the council has any questions, the adoption of the Master Plan may be delayed so that staff may provide the necessary backup information.

Executive Summary
3 PROJECT INTRODUCTION
Project Description
Located between Sacramento and the Bay Area,
the City of Fairfield is a bustling city with more than 120,000 residents.

In 2011, the City adopted the Train Station Spacific
Plan (FTSSP), which dedicated a portion of north
Fairfield to be allocated for transit-oriented
development. As a part of the plan, a community
park was proposed. The City of Fairfield initiated the
process to convert previously vacant agricultural
land into a space for a community park.

The Matt Garcia Community Park Master Plan
serves as a roadmap for the future development
of the 50-acre community park site. This Master
Plan shares background information, existing
conditions, community input, conceptual
design plans and recommendations, and
an implementation plan that ensures the
future community park accurately reflects the
community’s needs, today and in the future. The
Matt Garcia Community Park Master Plan provides
an opportunity to create a vibrant and dynamic
public space that serves the people of Fairfield
and visitors for decades to come.

In Honor
In 2021, the park was named ‘Matt Garcia
Community Park’ in honor of the former City
Councilmember Matt Garcia (Resolution 2021-
212). Councilmember Matt Garcia was the
youngest council member elected at the age of
21 years old and also acted as Honorary Mayor
of Fairfield before his passing in 2008. He was a
beloved member of the Fairfield community. A
feature dedicated to the memory of Matt Garcia is
proposed in the final conceptual plan.

MATT GARCIA COMMUNITY PARK MASTER PLAN
CHAPTER 1
4 PURPOSE
The park encompasses approximately 50 acres in
the northeast area of the city. Located on Vanden
Road approximately 1.5 miles east of the FairfieldVacaville Hannigan Train Station, the park will provide residents and visitors with a meaningful
public space experience in Solano County. The
park is designed to promote community well-being
and includes both active and passive recreation
opportunities to serve future city growth and
respond to existing needs in the community.

The Matt Garcia Community Park Master Plan is a
strategic, forward-looking document that provides
background, planning context, current conditions,
conceptual designs, and recommendations.

The planning process undertaken for the Master
Plan included the following tasks:
• Defining the scope of work and identifying the
planning context.
• Performing a needs assessment to identify
goals and recommendations.
• Structuring an implementation plan.

The following components are integrated into the
Master Plan:

Context: Analyzing the setting and surrounding
demographics.

Needs Assessment: Engaging in community
outreach to assess community needs.

Goals and Strategies: Defining the Master Plan’s
goals and developing strategies to meet current
and future needs.

Design and Recommendations: Crafting sitespecific designs and recommendations for the future park site with consideration to community
needs and defined goals.

Implementation: Developing an approach to
implement designs with an action plan.

Plan Review and Adoption: Following City
procedures, the Master Plan will be adopted by
City Council.

Extensive community outreach guided the Master
Plan. Input from city staff, stakeholders, and
community members informed the goals, designs,
and recommendations. Community engagement
ensured the Master Plan reflects the priorities
of Fairfield residents and the surrounding
communities.

As an implementing document, the Master Plan
provides a clear path to accomplish the project
vision through achievable steps in both the
short term and long term, maximizing the park’s
potential and ensuring its sustainability.

CHAPTER 2

MATT GARCIA COMMUNITY PARK MASTER PLAN
In 2011, the Farifeild City Council initiated
the process to convert previously vacant
agricultural land into a community park
as part of the approved Fairfield Train
Station Specific Plan. The proposed park
site is an approximately 50-acre parcel in
north Fairfield along the border of Vacaville
in Solano County, California. The site is
surrounded by rolling hills and wetlands,
and borders the Solano-Dixon Greenbelt.

Matt Garcia Community Park, formerly
known as “Great Park” in the Train Station
Specific Plan, is an opportunity to create a
vibrant and dynamic public space that serves
local and regional residents and visitors for
decades to come.

The Project
9 PROJECT CONTEXT
The City of Fairfield is nestled in the rolling hills
and rustic farmland of Northern California’s
Solano County. Fairfield was founded in 1856 and
incorporated in 1903. Sitting directly north of the
Suisun Bay marsh, the City covers just over 37
square miles (37.6 sq mi) and is the second largest
city in Solano County, as well as the county seat.

Fairfield is known for its hilly, agricultural landscape, and is considered one of the windiest cities in the
state. Fairfield is bordered by the Vaca Mountain
range and the City of Vacaville to the north, Travis
Air Force Base and open space to the east, the
Howell Mountain range and unincorporated
Solano County to the west, and the Suisun Bay
marsh lands to the south. Running directly through
the City is Interstate 80 connecting San Francisco
to Lake Tahoe.

Approximately 45 miles from both San Francisco
and Sacramento, Fairfield is home to almost
120,000 people and 30 parks. Roughly 70% of
the City’s residents live within a 10-minute walk
to a park, well above the national average of 55%.

Fairfield offers 230.5 acres of parkland and 728
acres of open space, totaling almost four percent
(3.98%) of the City’s land area. Shared between
the City of Fairfield, the City of Vacaville, and
Solano County area also 2,252 acres of preserved
greenbelt space.

The City’s mission is to “to foster a sense of pride in the community, improve the lives of our residents
and deliver dependable essential services through
integrity, professionalism, and fiscal responsibility.” The City values communication, diversity, inclusion,
innovation, and transparency.

The approximately 50-acre site of the park is
currently vacant. Historically, the site was used
for agriculture beginning in the 1930s. In 2011,
the Fairfield City Council declared the dedicated
agriculture space to be a recreational community
park that offers sports facilities and programs.

In 2021, the park was officially named Matt
Garcia Community Park to honor the former City
Councilmember Matt Garcia (Resolution 2021-
212). In November 2007, Councilmember Matt
Garcia was the youngest councilmember elected
in California at 21 years old. He acted as Honorary
Mayor of Fairfield before his passing and was a
beloved member of the Fairfield community.

The Project
11 PLANNING CONTEXT
The Matt Garcia Community Park Master Plan
is a forward-looking document that aims to
provide new recreational park space to Fairfield
residents and visitors. The City of Fairfield and
its surrounding region have undertaken several
relevant planning efforts in recent years. The
planning documents described below provide a
foundation for the larger framework of this Master
Plan.
• Fairfield Train Station Specific Plan (2011)
• Jepson Parkway Concept Plan (2014)
• One Lake Development Project
• City of Fairfield Parks, Recreation, and Open
Space (PROS) Master Plan (in progress)
Train Station Specific Plan (2011)
The Fairfield Train Station Specific Plan (FTSSP),
adopted in 2011, proposed a new growth
area consisting of almost 3,000 acres in the
northeastern region of Fairfield. Following the
2002 Fairfield General Plan, which designated land
at the southeast corner of Peabody and Vanden
Roads for transit-supportive development, the
City Council directed planning staff to prepare a
specific plan for land near the new train station
that opened in 2017.

One requirement of the FTSSP is a large community
park that can host various recreational and leisure
amenities and programs while preserving open
spaces within parts of the bordering Greenbelt
between Fairfield and Vacaville. This park is
sometimes referred to as “Great Park” and was
renamed to Matt Garcia Community Park in 2021.

The FTSSP provides objectives related to transit,
public amenities, open space, and sustainable
development. The relevant guiding objectives
and their associated key concepts and principles
provided support to planning efforts for the
Master Plan.

These concepts and principles include:
• Community services
• Circulation

12 Jepson Parkway Concept Plan
(2014, adopted 2019)
The Solano Transportation Authority (STA) along
with Solano County and the Cities of Fairfield,
Vacaville, and Suisun City, identified the Jepson
Parkway as a priority transportation corridor linking
jobs, land uses, open space, and transit between
the three cities. Jepson Parkway runs along the
Matt Garcia Community Park site on Vanden Road
and connects Fairfield with Vacaville. Figure 2.3
provides a view of the conceptual streetscape
recommendations presented by the plan.

The project goals relate to encouraging safe multimodal transportation and preserving greenspace and are intended to direct further planning,
design, and traffic management efforts on the
Parkway while providing background context for
the Matt Garcia Community Park Master Plan.

The Jepson Parkway Concept Plan discusses plans
for Vanden Road and Matt Garcia Community
Park and details planned bus routes, open space
concepts, land uses, development projects, and
aesthetic concept suggestions. Specific details of
this plan can be found in Appendix H.

Goal 1: Integrate multiple modes of safe and
efficient travel including vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit.

Goal 2: Maintain the strategic open space identified
in the FTSSP area to preserve a designated
Fairfield-Vacaville greenbelt area as a community
separator between the two cities.

Goal 3: Support development of a bike and
pedestrian node in Great Park (Matt Garcia
Community Park) to be built as part of the FTSSP.

The Project
13 One Lake Development Project
As part of the City-dedicated land for the FTSSP,
the One Lake Project is a large master-planned
community featuring 2,200 new homes that is
currently being developed. The project is situated
along the Amtrak Capitol Corridor to prioritize easy
non-vehicular commuting to employment centers
in both the Bay Area and Sacramento. It features
more than 1,850 acres of protected conservation
lands providing wetland and upland habitat for
multiple endangered and threatened species.

The southern edge of Matt Garcia Community Park
is situated adjacent to the One Lake Project on the
City-dedicated FTSSP land. Throughout the Master
Plan process, City staff and the consultants have
worked together with the One Lake developers to
ensure the Master Plan meets the requirements
of the FTSSP, such as providing direct access to
the park from the community.

The One Lake Project includes the lake that was
originally envisioned as part of the Great Park
(Matt Garcia Community Park) in the FTSSP.

CHAPTER 2
14 City of Fairfield Parks, Recreation,
and Open Space Master Plan
As of 2023, the City of Fairfield is currently
undergoing a Parks, Recreation, and Open Space
Master Plan (PROSMP) of the city-wide park
system. This Plan is a forward-looking document
that provides an overview of existing sites, facilities, recreation programs, and amenities across its
1,360 acres of public parks and open space, and
provides a set of goals and recommendations for
the City to achieve.

The master plan design of Matt Garcia Community
Park and its proposed amenities are being
included in the PROSMP. The PROSMP will not be
complete until late 2024 after the adoption of the
Matt Garcia Community Park Master Plan.

CITY OF FAIRFIELD | FUTURE FAIRFIELD FUN
The Project
15 SITE ASSESSMENT
A site assessment analyzed the strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges of the
existing site. This process guided the park concept
design to bolster strengths, resolve weaknesses,
build upon opportunities, and work within
constraints. The following were identified:

Strengths
At approximately 50 acres in size, the site provides
space for a large variety of amenities. For scale
reference, a professional soccer field is 2.7 acres,
meaning the project site is the size of 18.5 soccer
fields. Additionally, the areas northwest of the site
are protected greenbelt areas in Solano County,
and as such, will never be developed, allowing for
spectacular views of the surrounding open space.

Weaknesses
The most impactful weakness of the site is limited
access, as it is currently most accessible by
vehicular transportation.

Opportunities
With flat topography, the site provides ample
opportunities for large sports fields. Additionally,
the location of the park allows the City to provide a
recreation node in its northern area to complement
park offerings in other areas of Fairfield, such as
Allan Witt Community Park (center of downtown)
and Cordelia Community Park (southern area).

Constraints
An environmental buffer is required to protect
natural wetlands to the north of the site and Union
Creek to the west and south. Due to prevailing
winds from the southwest and northwest,
some park amenities require careful siting to
accommodate wind shielding.

The Project
17 EXISTING CONDITIONS
The site for Matt Garcia Community Park is located
along Vanden Road at the northern edge of the
City of Fairfield, approximately six miles northeast
of the downtown area. Southwest of the site is the
One Lake residential development which offers a
variety of housing types. North of the site is the City of Vacaville and unincorporated Solano County.

Views from the site include agricultural land and
residential developments.

Vegetation consists of cultivated grasses and an
area of taller, brown vegetation in the eastern and
southern portions of the site. A portion of the site
is delineated by black mesh fencing (approximately
one foot in height) to preserve a protected species
of salamander. There are wetlands along the
northern park boundary and south of the site. To
the west, south, and southeast of the site is Union
Creek, an engineered creek and intermittent
stream, that originates east of Peabody Road
near California State Prison Solano in Vacaville,
approximately one mile northwest of the site.

The site is flat with the biggest grade change of
15 feet from the bottom of the creek to a natural
rise at the southern corners of the site. A majority
of the site is within a four-foot range (92 to 96
feet). The site has wind predominantly from the
southeast throughout the year. During the winter
months, wind comes more commonly from the
northeast.

A fuel transmission line runs underground along
the eastern portion of the site. The 20-inch
diameter pipe runs at a depth of four to seven
feet. Other potential contaminants identified in
the Environmental Site Assessment Phase 1 are
aerially deposited lead, organochlorine pesticides,
and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Access to
the site is limited, with no vehicle or pedestrian
access to the park site at present. Designs for a
reconfigured Vanden Road include two vehicle
access points to the site.

19 PARK AND RECREATION TRENDS
The National Recreation and Park Association
(NRPA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to
building strong, vibrant, and resilient communities
by investing in the work of park and recreation
professionals as a catalyst for positive change. The
NRPA publishes trends in parks and recreation
annually to track new and important patterns of
park usage and discuss the potential implications
to future parks. Recreation trends are utilized
in conjunction with community input to inform
recommendations, prioritize projects, and guide
decisions for the future. The following trends
informed the design of the Matt Garcia Community
Park Master Plan:

Public Health and Well-Being
To combat the increase in cases of obesity,
diabetes, and heart disease in the United States,
public and private entities are encouraging
individuals to get outside and promoting an active
lifestyle as a form of preventative healthcare.

Research shows that exposure to nature has many
health-related benefits, including reducing stress,
relieving symptoms of anxiety and depression,
encouraging physical activity, and more.

Reconnecting Youth with Nature
A global movement to connect youth with nature
and the outdoors has gained popularity in recent
years. Compared to previous generations, young
people today spend less time outside, a condition
proven to negatively impact both physical and
mental health. Parents and professionals alike
express concerns about the detrimental effects
of a sedentary lifestyle, such as an increase in
screen time and a decrease in exploratory and
unstructured outdoor play for youth.

A Connected Community
Parks and recreation programs provide a free and
accessible opportunity for planned and unplanned
social interactions. Public spaces such as parks are
critical for social cohesiveness by bringing people
together to share similar experiences and fostering
a greater sense of community. Connection is
facilitated by physical elements such as the
routes and paths used to reach parks, recreation
amenities, and open space. Active transportation
methods have become more popular in recent
years, and this increased interest in active transit
generates an increased need for connections to
public spaces. Having a variety of accessible ways
to walk, bike, scooter, or skate to local parks is an
important priority for communities today.

Play is Important
Play-based activities are key to increasing a
person’s physical activity level and stimulating
mental processes. Play improves cognitive,
physical, social, and emotional well-being and
helps build developmental skills for children and
young adults. Through play, children learn about
the world, themselves, and how to interact with
others. Parks are essential to help children and
young adults grow by providing accessible public
spaces for play.

Active Transportation as
Recreation
Recreational activities such as walking, hiking,
and biking are among the most popular outdoor
activities nationwide today. These relaxing, low
impact, and environmentally friendly forms of
active transportation improve fitness, relieve
stress, and easily fit into a daily routine. Planning
efforts now consistently include connecting or
extending active transportation (biking, walking,
etc.) routes to parks and open space areas
throughout cities and communities.

Active Aging Population
Today, the elderly population in the United States
is growing at a rapid rate. According to the U.S.

Census, people aged 65 and over are expected
to make up 22% of the population by 2040. Due
to increases in life expectancy and quality of life
for older adults, the “typical” senior population
now encompasses multiple generations, including
retirees who are in good health, physically active,
and interested in exercising, socializing, and

MATT GARCIA COMMUNITY PARK MASTER PLAN
CHAPTER 2
20 volunteering in parks and at community centers.

Parks and recreation services provide a large array
of programs for older adults and are expected
to remain key community resources for this
demographic in the future.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Parks serve diverse communities and should
offer inclusive spaces that can be enjoyed by all
ages, abilities, and cultures. When visitors from
different backgrounds enter an environment that
allows them to connect and feel comfortable, they
tend to engage in more positive, impactful ways.

Societal changes in recent years have generated
an increased demand for inclusivity in public
spaces, and as a result, accessibility, sensory
experiences, and community support are now
basic requirements for today’s parks.

The Digital World
In the realm of public recreation, handheld digital
devices provide opportunities to connect visitors
with parks professionals. Digital platforms are
used to efficiently disseminate information about
park events, encourage community input and
feedback, and provide deeper interactions with
park features. For example, QR codes on park
signage can invite visitors to listen to an audio tour, offer an interactive map of amenities, prompt users
to share photos and videos of their experiences
or report issues, or provide a link to a reservation
system. With the growing reliance on digital tools,
public spaces are increasingly expected to provide
Wi-Fi access to meet the technological demands
of visitors.

Sustainability and Resiliency
Parks are designed with resiliency in mind.

Incorporating stormwater infrastructure, low
impact design (LID), and native, drought-tolerant
vegetation is paramount in helping to sustainably
maintain parks as global warming conditions
persist.

21 The Community
The Master Plan reflects the desires, goals,
and priorities of the local community.

At several stages of this project, online
and in-person outreach methods were
implemented to collect input from the
community. Engagement with the public
provided valuable information that guided
the design of the park. Active community
outreach is a pivotal component of this
public project to ensure that the final plan
accurately and holistically represents the
City of Fairfield and its diverse residents.

CITY OF FAIRFIELD | FUTURE FAIRFIELD FUN
The Community
23 ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY
Over 800 community members representing a
diverse range of ages and ethnicities participated
in public outreach efforts during the project.

Residents who engaged in outreach activities
were excited about the development of the new
50-acre community park and eager to share their
opinions in conversations with the project team
and in survey responses.

The community wants Matt Garcia Community
Park to represent a wide range of inclusive uses.

Organized and informal play are top priorities.

The community strongly desires sports fields and
courts, playgrounds, and water play areas. An
adventure playground, which blends unstructured
or “organic” play with nature-oriented elements,
soccer fields, tennis and pickleball courts, and a
splash pad received significant support in both inperson and online responses.

Natural elements are important to future park
users, with the community showing strong
support for open spaces, nature networks, and
trails for walking, hiking, or biking. The community
also desires spaces for gathering and socializing
such as picnic areas, a recreation center, and an
amphitheater. Overall, the community envisions
Matt Garcia Community Park as a family-oriented
destination that promotes social cohesiveness,
health and wellness, and recreation.

CHAPTER 3
24 METHODS
Outreach was an essential part of the planning
process with specific objectives to gather
community input and feedback at critical junctures
utilizing digital and in-person methods. A variety
of outreach methods were utilized throughout the
project, including a project website, stakeholder
focus group interviews, online surveys, and inperson events.

Early in the project, the community was asked
to provide initial input on what they would like
included in the park. This initial round of public
engagement included multiple outreach methods
to hear from the community about park visiting
habits, current needs, and ideas for the design
(Round 1). The second push for community
feedback focused on refining a preferred design
for the site by presenting design awell lternatives
to the public both virtually and in person (Round
2).

Project Website
A project website contains information about the
project, including status, project documents and
references, an event calendar and announcements
for upcoming engagement opportunities, an
email sign-up list, and links to other engagement
platforms. The website for was available for
the duration of the project and was updated
periodically to keep the public informed about the
project’s progress.

25 Stakeholder Focus Group
Interviews
The purpose of stakeholder focus group
interviews is to provide key community members
with an opportunity to speak one-on-one or in
a small group setting with the project team. The
interviews help the project team gain in-depth
detail from representatives of designated groups
on plan priorities and specific topics related to the
project’s development. These interviews occurred
in February and March 2022 during Round 1
outreach and included local sports teams and
organizations, adaptive services representatives
from Fairfield and Vacaville, the Matt Garcia
Foundation, and staff from Vacaville Parks &
Recreation. Round 2 meetings occurred from
November 2022 through February 2023, and were
focused on refining the preferred design.

Sports
March 7, 2022 (virtual): Discussion with one soccer
organization highlighted a need for more soccer
fields in the City of Fairfield to accommodate
league and tournament play. Ample parking,
restrooms, concessions, lighting, and storage
were also identified as needs.

March 29, 2022 (virtual): Discussion with three
representatives from soccer and tennis groups
indicated that there is a need for soccer fields
and tennis courts at Matt Garcia Community Park.

Soccer groups are looking to host tournaments and
need a facility with enough fields to accommodate
the large number of teams and participants
involved. Tennis players in the area are also
looking for a site that can host tournaments and
accommodate multiple simultaneous games. Due
to the pandemic and other local park changes,
the number of available tennis courts in the area
has decreased, and tennis players are struggling
to find places to play. Outdoor lighting for soccer
and tennis areas was also desired.

March 31, 2022 (virtual): This interview was
attended by three participants (two from
pickleball, one from baseball). Pickleball play is
on the rise in communities and users are looking
for more courts in Fairfield to reduce the need
to travel to other cities. There is an interest in
hosting pickleball tournaments, which require a
high number of courts (24), and lighting is desired
for night play. Fields for practices and games and
a batting cage were the primary suggestions made
for baseball amenities at the new park.

March 14, 2023 (virtual): This meeting presented
a draft preferred park design concept to
four representatives from tennis groups and
one representative from the Fairfield-Suisun
Unified School District Facilities and Operations
department. The participants shared feedback on
the proposed design and how it can be changed
to best serve the needs of their representative
user groups. The meeting also asked participants
to share how they would use the spaces and
amenities in the proposed design. The discussion
focused on wind mitigation and fencing, the buffer
area between soccer and tennis, and additional
trees for shade.

March 15, 2023 (virtual): This meeting served
as a complementary meeting to the previous
meeting on March 14 and presented the
same draft preferred park design concept to
one representative of a pickleball group, one
representative of a tennis group, and a project
manager at the City of Fairfield. The conversation
focused on specific needs for the park’s tennis and
pickleball facilities, including restrooms, a central
gathering area, storage lockers, wind screens,
adequate fencing heights, and picnic tables.

26 Adaptive Services
March 3, 2022 (virtual): This interview included
three representatives from the community
to discuss ways in which park amenities can
accommodate all abilities and needs. Participants
identified accessible surfaces and water play as
important elements of the new park and cited
safety fencing and inclusive playground equipment
as additional priorities.

Vacaville Parks & Recreation
March 2, 2022 (virtual): Two representatives from
Vacaville Parks & Recreation provided insight into
the City of Vacaville’s response to community
needs in park and recreation development. They
cited sports fields and courts, outdoor lighting,
playgrounds, dog parks, all-wheel tracks (also
known as pump tracks), picnic facilities, and water
play areas as key points of focus for the community
and for the City’s efforts to improve its parks.

Matt Garcia Foundation
July 7, 2022 (phone): Conversation with the
president of Matt Garcia Foundation, who is the
mother of Matt Garcia, about progress to-date
and community engagement efforts.

One Lake Developer
November 2, 2022 (virtual): This interview
included six participants representing the One
Lake developer team and design consultants to
review the uses and proposed site concept for the
preferred park design.

February 9, 2023 (virtual): This interview included
six participants representing the One Lake
developer team and design consultants to review
the draft preferred concept design.

City Staff
February 2, 2022 (virtual): This interview with six
staff members gathered insights from multiple
City departments about the parks and recreation
system, park maintenance by public works, and
other lessons learned from operations. The
conversation covered strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and constraints.

February 15, 2023 (virtual): During this interview,
17 staff members across multiple City departments
and other agencies and districts serving Fairfield
reviewed the draft preferred design. Maintenance
and safety access, vehicle movement, and
infrastructure equipment were the main topics of
the discussion.

February 22, 2023 (virtual): This meeting with
a police department representative reviewed
the draft preferred park design with a focus on
community safety and site visibility.

March 13, 2023 (virtual): This meeting with the IT
Department discussed technology-related park
elements such as EV charging, security cameras,
webcams to track field usage, digital signage,
smart sprinklers, and more.

March 14, 2023 (virtual): This meeting with traffic
engineering personnel reviewed the preferred site
design with a focus on pedestrian safety, traffic
calming, and access.

Community Events
Pop-Up Events
Pop-up booths at community events employ a “go
to them” approach by raising awareness about
the project and offering interactive, in-person
information-gathering activities. In addition to
collecting important input from the public, popup events also help increase participation in other engagement opportunities, such as the community
survey and events later in the project process.

Outreach for the Matt Garcia Community Park
Master Plan included two pop-ups at public
events in which 250 attendees of all ages visited
the project booths, reviewed visual materials,
engaged in conversations with the project team,
and provided input about the park.

Open House
An Open House event was held at the One Lake
residential development just south of the future
park site. Almost 80 people attended to review the
three park concept alteratives and vote on their
preferred design while sharing feedback on what
elements and amenities they want at the future
Matt Garcia Community Park.
• Open House at Journey Coffee One Lake,
August 6, 2022 (Round 2)
Printed dot boards and polls were used to collect
feedback at the Open House to inform the
preferred park design. See Appendix B for the full
results from the event.

Survey
The purpose of a community survey is to gather
broad-based input on a range of topics important
to the Matt Garcia Community Park Master Plan.

An online version allows people to participate
on their own time while still providing valuable
feedback on the project.

Two surveys were conducted for the Matt Garcia
Community Park Master Plan and were promoted
on flyers, signs, banners, social media, and the
project website. Both surveys were conducted
virtually via Survey Monkey. Nearly 600 responses
were received from youth, adults, and seniors.
• April through early May 2022 (Round 1, Initial
Ideas)
• August 2022 (Round 2, Design Alternatives)
Responses to the survey highlighted the
community’s desire for a diverse array of passive
and active park amenities, with priority placed on
open space and nature networks, playgrounds and
water play, and sports and physical recreation. See
Appendix B for the full results from the surveys.

MATT GARCIA COMMUNITY PARK MASTER PLAN
CHAPTER 3
28 RESULTS AND FINDINGS
Round 1: Initial Ideas
The initial goal for outreach was to collect data on the community’s likes, dislikes, needs, and wants in terms
of park elements and amenities. Input provided via
an online survey and a pop-up event revealed that
park users in the City of Fairfield enjoy paths and
trails for walking, hiking, or jogging, as well as trees, playgrounds, sports fields, courts, and dog park
amenities.

The initial project survey asked the community
to identify park visiting habits and rank park and
recreation amenities desired for Matt Garcia
Community Park. According to survey results, the
community desires a balanced combination of passive
and active park and recreation amenities featured in
integrated and flexible community spaces. Over 90%
of survey respondents were residents of Fairfield.

When asked about their general habits, over 75% of
survey respondents said they visit parks once a week
or more, and over 50% of respondents visit parks to
have an outing with family and friends, to participate
in sports with a team, or to take part in physical
exercise. Park features participants use or enjoy
most when visiting were trails for walking, jogging, or hiking, trees, picnic areas, and playgrounds.

According to survey responses, playgrounds,
including those that accommodate all abilities, and
multi-use paths for walking, biking, and jogging were
the most popular active park amenities desired by the
community. Dog park was a moderately supported
park amenity frequently mentioned in the survey’s
write-in comments. A bike pump track, which did
not rank highly in survey responses, was the second
most supported active park amenity in in-person
responses from the first round of public outreach.

Overall, active recreation was identified as a high
priority for both indoor and outdoor amenities at
the future Matt Garcia Community Park, as outreach
participants strongly supported active-oriented
features including sports fields, health and fitness

CITY OF FAIRFIELD | FUTURE FAIRFIELD FUN
The Community
29 opportunities, playgrounds, and water play. Soccer
fields received the most first-choice votes and
most total votes on the survey for active recreation
amenities desired in a new park, and tennis courts
also ranked highly. In addition to soccer and tennis
areas, the community strongly supported an aquatic
center, a recreation center, a splash pad, fitness
stations, and lighted sports fields in the new park. For indoor amenities and spaces, the community also
favored active recreation/sports, health and fitness,
and dance.

In terms of passive park amenities desired, outdoor
lighting received the most first choice survey votes
and was also well supported by particiants in inperson engagement activities. The most total survey votes for passive park amenities were given to trees
and shade, picnic areas, and a community center.

Vision and Goals
The initial engagement process identified the
community’s desires for the park design. Based on
analysis of engagement input, as well as an analysis
of the City’s needs, a vision and set of goals for the
park emerged.

Vision
Matt Garcia Community Park is a community space
that fosters socialization, play, and placemaking,
and prioritizes health and community connection.

The vision for the future park responds to the
community’s desire for a public space that promotes
a higher quality of life.

Goals
The goals for the future Matt Garcia Community Park
further take guidance from community outreach,
recreation trends, and City and Specific Plan goals.

These developed goals support each aspect outlined
by the vision and influence the preferred site design
for the park.

1. Create spaces that foster a sense of community
and encourage social interaction.

2.Create safe, fun, family-friendly amenities
that provide enriching experiences for the
community.

3.Be a “destination” site offering unique and

MATT GARCIA COMMUNITY PARK MASTER PLAN
CHAPTER 3
30 diverse recreation amenities that support health,
wellness, and community connection.

4.Create a wide variety of spaces and opportunities
for organized and informal play.

5.Balance passive and active recreation amenities
to engage all ages and abilities.

6.Embrace natural elements and foster a
connection to nature through park design.

Round 2: Design Alternatives
The realized vision and goals and input from
community outreach were incorporated into the
design of three alternative park concepts presented
to the community for feedback. Participants in an
online survey and in-person events were asked
to vote for their three favorite elements of each
concept and for their overall preferred concept.

Each concept was play-focused, per initial outreach
results, and offered unique layouts with some
concept-specific features. Common elements of
each concept were: playgrounds, open space/
nature trails, picnic areas, soccer fields, tennis and
pickleball courts, a splash pad, a dog park, and a
recreation center.
• Passive Play (Concept #1) featured the most
open space areas.
• Game On (Concept #2) featured a wide array
of sports courts and fields.
• Organic Play (Concept #3) featured a balanced
mix of sports fields and courts, passive
recreation elements, and unstructured play
features.

In Round 2 outreach, the community strongly
supported a design for Matt Garcia Community Park
that will serve a diverse population and meet a wide
range of needs. As in Round 1, outreach respondents
continued to show interest in park features that
involve both passive and active recreation and
create community gathering opportunities. For each
of the three park concepts presented—Passive Play
(Concept #1), Game On (Concept #2), and Organic
Play (Concept #3)—the top five favorite elements
were a combination of play areas, social spaces, and
natural amenities.

32 Playgrounds, a splash pad, and open space/nature
trails—design elements featured in all three design
concepts—were each voted a top five favorite on all
three concepts, indicating strong community support.

With the highest number of total votes received, these
amenities finished as the #1, #2, and #3 most popular
of any design feature included in all three concepts.

Across all designs, the single concept element receiving the most total votes (201) and positive support was
the adventure playground featured in Organic Play
(Concept #3). Adventure playgrounds are imaginative,
nontraditional play areas that encourage users to
creatively engage with the outdoor environment and
typically feature ropes, ladders, bridges, boulders, and other organic elements. The community expressed
excitement about the unique and diverse play
experiences this feature offers.

Outreach participants also favored park amenities
that encourage social activity and foster a sense
of community. Picnic areas ranked as the #6 most
supported feature of those included in all three
concepts, and these informal gathering areas ranked
in the top five for two of the three design concepts
(Passive Play and Game On). Although it received some
negative feedback in the survey comments, a dog park
ranked as the #5 most supported feature across all
concepts and as the #4 most liked feature on the
Passive Play and Game On concepts. A large, flexible
space for community-wide events and activities,
the outdoor amphitheater featured in Organic Play
(Concept #3) was highly supported and received the
fourth most votes of any single concept element.

33 Sports activities continued to receive support
during Round 2 outreach, although sports
amenities did not rank in the top five for any of the
three individual concepts. Soccer fields and tennis
and pickleball courts were the only outdoor sports
amenities featured in all three design alternatives
presented to the community. Many outreach
participants recognized the high demand for field
space in the Fairfield area and loved the inclusion
of soccer fields in the park designs. According to
combined votes across all three park concepts,
tennis and pickleball finished as the #4 most
popular option, and local tennis and pickleball
organizations were very interested in including
ample amenities for racquet sports in the final
park design.

When selecting an overall favorite park design, a
significant majority (62%) of outreach participants
chose Organic Play (Concept #3), and the top five
elements supported in that concept were, in order:
adventure playground, amphitheater, pump track,
splash pad, and open space/nature trail networks.

Comments from outreach participants about the
Organic Play concept mentioned its diversity of
features, new ideas and elements (e.g., adventure
playground, pump track, and amphitheater) not
currently represented in City of Fairfield parks,
integrated nature elements, and appeal to a
wide range of age groups as the primary reasons
for supporting the design. Game On (Concept

34 total votes, was moderately popular due to its
emphasis on a wide variety of sports amenities
and play opportunities, especially the multiple
playgrounds. In third place with 14% of votes,
Passive Play (Concept #1) was noted as offering
the best allocation of open natural spaces, but
not enough active play amenities or unique,
community-oriented features.

In terms of recreation programming, Round
2 outreach results highlighted the same key
community desires—active recreation, passive
recreation, and social gathering opportunities—
shown in the park concept feedback. When asked
about preferred activities, outreach participants
prioritized active recreation (e.g., indoor
basketball) and fitness/cardio/yoga as the top two
most desired options. Art, music, summer camp,
and informal socializing (hang out) programs were
also popular choices. Programs in education and
technology were moderately supported by the
community. According to outreach results, the
least supported activities were formal events and
multi-media/gaming.

35 The Park
Based on outreach findings and input
from City staff, the three alternative
design concepts were synthesized into
a single preferred design. The preferred
design considered the common themes,
preferences, and priorities that were
identified during the community outreach
process. The preferred design was further
refined by incorporating suggestions from
various sources of feedback that aligned
with the project’s objectives.

The Master Plan reflects the goals and
vision of the community. The park design
offers a diverse array of active space as
well as passive space to create a park that
is inclusive, enjoyable, and family-friendly.

This chapter provides an overview of the
amenities and elements proposed in the
Master Plan.

CHAPTER 4
38 PREFERED SITE DESIGN
Recreation Center
As the focal point of the park, an approximately
40,000 square foot (0.92-acres) Recreation Center
offers opportunities for both active and passive
recreation. The facility includes a gymnasium,
administrative space, event space, fitness space,
and Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and
Mathematics (STEAM) classrooms. It serves as
a place for all ages of the community to come
together to socialize, collaborate, learn, move, and
celebrate. The design of the Recreation Center
responds to the results of the outreach surveys,
which prioritized active recreation such as fitness,
cardio, and yoga classes in addition to summer
camps, art, music, and informal socializing
opportunities. The building's design prioritizes
flexibility so that the indoor uses can evolve and
grow as the community’s needs change over time.

The building's central location and functional
design creates a seamless connection between
indoor and outdoor uses. The Recreation Center
includes a 10,000-square-foot gymnasium,
which features multiple court activities and
configurations. It can be opened to the outdoor
play area that includes a splash pad and flexible
seating. The gymnasium is designed to emphasize
indoor sports and activities while taking advantage
of connections and views to the expansive
surrounding park environment.

The event space functions as a hub for community
gatherings, meetings, and performances, and
is made accessible for after-hour needs by
having its own private entrance. The fitness
space accommodates group classes and other
opportunities for exercise and wellness. The
full-service kitchen and ample storage are made
to accommodate a variety of events and uses
throughout the year.

Furthermore, with four STEAM classrooms
equipped with modern audio-visual and
educational technologies, the new Recreation
Center functions as a nucleus for learning, creating,
collaboration, and innovation.

CITY OF FAIRFIELD | FUTURE FAIRFIELD FUN
The Park
39 Adventure Playground
An adventure playground is a type of playscape
that encourages children to engage in creative
and unstructured play in an environment with
natural elements and open-ended play structures.

It provides a space where children can explore,
take risks, and use their imagination freely.

Unlike traditional playgrounds with fixed and
standardized equipment, adventure playgrounds
are designed to be dynamic and flexible. The key
concept is to promote child-led play, where children
have the freedom to build independence, take
risks, and learn through hands-on experiences.

The adventure playground ranked high during
community outreach. As an inclusive playground,
there are distinct areas for toddlers (2-5 year olds)
and bigger kids (5-12 year olds), teens, and adults.

The adventure playground contains natural
features that use wood and rope to create unique
play experiences. It also features poured-in-place
safety surfacing that allows for play for all ages and
abilities.

The approximately 1.03-acre playground is
located just north of the Recreation Center and
between the splash pad and the all-wheels track.

It is centrally located for ease of access to the
parking lots which allows for easy supervision for
parents and caretakers. Additionally, it is located
in proximity to the Recreation Center to allow for
joint use and ease of access to restroom facilities.

Lastly, the adventure playground features
shaded seating with opportunities for picnics and
gatherings.

All-Wheels Track
An all-wheels track is a paved track or circuit within
a park that has a series of banked turns, rollers,
and jumps that riders navigate using a pumping
motion rather than pedaling. The primary
feature of an all-wheels track is its continuous,
flowing layout, which allows riders to generate
momentum by using their body movements. The
technique involves shifting body weight and using
the up and down motion of the bike to gain speed
and maintain momentum throughout the track.

By compressing and extending their bodies and
bikes at the right moments, riders can effectively
navigate the terrain and propel themselves
forward without pedaling.

Community members originally voted for a pump
track, which is a dirt track specifically designated
for bicycles. All-wheels tracks are paved and allow
for any type of wheeled vehicle (skateboards,
rollerblades, scooters, bikes). Emerging trends
in parks and recreation point to multi-use and
flexible park amenities. The all-wheels tracks are
more inclusive and provide a diverse array of
recreational opportunities.

The approximately 0.62-acre all-wheels track is
located to the north of the adventure playground.

It is contained within a fence for safety and includes
shade structures with seating opportunities for
onlookers.

(Image 4.6) Adventure Playground

MATT GARCIA COMMUNITY PARK MASTER PLAN
CHAPTER 4
40 Splash Pad
A splash pad, also known as a splash park or spray
park, is a recreational water feature designed to
provide safe and interactive water play experiences
for children and families. These features promote
physical activity, social interaction, and sensory
stimulation. They can include nozzles, sprayers, jets,
fountains, and interactive water toys that spray, mist, or shoot water in different patterns and directions.

The water is typically sprayed from the ground or
installed above it at a low height, allowing children
to run through, jump over, and interact with the
water without the need for swimming skills.

The proposed 0.23-acre enclosed splash pad is
designed to be inclusive and enjoyable for users
of all ages and abilities. It incorporates colorful
designs, themed elements, and water play
structures. The splash pad's location directly
adjacent to the Recreation Center allows for easy
access to restrooms and indoor amenities.

The water used in the splash pads is recycled
through a filtration and disinfection system to
maintain cleanliness and prevent the spread of
waterborne illnesses. Additionally, the splash pad
has safety features such as slip-resistant surfaces,
shallow water depths, and timers to control the
water flow and conserve water when not in use.

Amphitheater
An amphitheater is the ideal outdoor venue
designed for hosting concerts, theatrical
performances, lectures, and other forms of
entertainment. Amphitheaters in parks offer a
unique and immersive outdoor experience for
attendees. They create a sense of community,
foster cultural appreciation, and provide a
platform for artists and performers to showcase
their talents in an inviting and scenic environment.

The approximately 2.23-acre amphitheater at
Matt Garcia Community Park is designed to
accommodate large audiences and provide an
open-air setting that integrates with the natural
environment. It connects directly with the
Recreation Center, allowing for easy access to
restrooms, storage, electrical connections, and
other indoor amenities required for performances.

The amphitheater has seating accommodations for
approximately 350 people and is encompassed by
a sloped hill to provide additional informal seating.

Loading and unloading of equipment for events is
served by the park drop-off area.
(Figure 4.7) Splash Pad (Image 4.8) Amphitheater

CITY OF FAIRFIELD | FUTURE FAIRFIELD FUN
The Park
41 Tennis and Pickleball Courts
There are eight tennis courts and six pickleball
courts planned for Matt Garcia Community Park.

Both amenities are lit and fenced for maximum
use. The tennis courts and pickleball courts, while
separate, share shaded seating areas to the east
and a small restroom facility to the south. The
tennis courts and pickleball courts span
approximately 1.71 acres. The courts are set up to
accommodate tournaments for both sports.

Soccer Fields
The park proposes six full-size adult soccer
fields equating to approximately 11 total acres.

These fields can accommodate large crowds and
tournament games. One field has synthetic turf
while the other five are sod. Seating is provided
for use by players and spectators. The fields are lit
and fenced to allow for maximum use throughout
the year.

Dog Park
A fenced off-leash dog park is a designated area
where dogs can exercise, socialize, and play offleash in a controlled and secure environment. Dog parks also foster a sense of community as visitors
have the opportunity to meet and connect with
other dog enthusiasts.

The dog park included in the plan has fenced
areas for both small and large dogs to promote
safety. The dog park has open space for running
and an obstacle course, plus additional structures
to serve the needs of visitors and their dogs
including shaded seating and drinking fountains.

The dog park is approximately one acre in size.

Concessions and Restrooms
Concessions and restrooms are located to the
west of the soccer fields to accomodate games
and tournaments. There is also a restroom near
the adventure playground and tennis courts.

Indoor restroom facilities are located within the
Recreation Center.

Seating
The park features a variety of seating opportunities
strategically located throughout the park and
shaded when possible. Seating opportunities
include benches, picnic tables, seat walls, and
bleachers.

Memorial Wall
The park features a memorial wall in honor of
Matt Garcia. It is a tribute that is intended to share
Matt Garcia's impact on the City of Fairfield with
visitors. The memorial wall holds symbolic value
and is a focal point for remembrance, reflection,
and paying respect. The memorial wall should be
designed in collaboration with the Matt Garcia
Foundation.

MATT GARCIA COMMUNITY PARK MASTER PLAN
CHAPTER 4
42 Pedestrian Access and Circulation
The Multi-Use Loop Trail
The community input process revealed that
a multi-use trail system was a highly desired
amenity. The concept proposes a trail that loops
around the perimeter of the park and connects
to each programmed space (See Figure 5.11). The
trail provides views of the wetlands and connects
to interwoven paths for easy circulation. This
natural and paved path network features raised
crosswalks, bike racks, and seating opportunities.

The trail is approximately 3,600 feet in length and
is designed for walkers, joggers, and bicyclists.

The trail width varies between 10 and 12 feet to
accommodate high activity use and various forms
of transportation.

Internal Pathways
Smaller concrete pathways and trails branch off
from the multi-use loop trail to provide access to
the interior amenities. There are approximately
9,000 feet of internal pathways that are between
six and eight feet wide.

43 Pedestrian Bridge
The Master Plan proposes a pedestrian bridge that
spans Union Creek and connects to the One Lake
community. The bridge improves connectivity to
the park and features views of the natural wetlands
while protecting them from disturbance. The
pedestrian bridge is located next to the dog park
so that residents may easily utilize this amenity.

The pedestrian bridge is approximately 290 feet
long and 10 feet wide.

Bicycles
Short-term and long-term bicycle parking is
provided on site. Bicycles are intended to be used
on the multi-use loop trail, and not the internal
pathways, to avoid conflict with pedestrians and
park users.

Vehicular Access and Circulation
Circulation
As shown in Figure 5.11, vehicles can enter the
park via two access points along Vanden Road: 1)
a full-access signalized intersection to the south;
and 2) a right-turn-only ingress and egress sidestreet stop-controlled entry to the north. When entering the park from the southern entrance,
there is a large drop off zone that is accessible
to cars, buses, and emergency vehicles. There is
one roundabout at the northern corner of the
park to alleviate traffic build-up and allow for easy
drop-off and turn-around opportunities. Along
the northern inner-road are chicanes to help slow
traffic and minimize accidents.

Parking
The Master Plan proposes several parking lots to
alleviate potential congestion due to the expected
high volume of daily visitors to the park. The plan
includes five parking lots adjacent to the soccer
fields, tennis and pickleball courts, and entry drop
off zone. In total, these lots provide 361 stalls.

In the case of a tournament and large-scale
community event occurring at the same time,
temporary parking within the park can be made
available, and shuttles may be provided to
accommodate visitors of simultaneous events.

There are approximately 32 temporary parking
stalls along the loop road and approximately 145
overflow spots that are located in the empty lawn
space adjacent to the northern entry point along
Vanden Road.

CHAPTER 5
MATT GARCIA COMMUNITY PARK MASTER PLAN 45
The Matt Garcia Community Park Master
Plan is a tool to inspire and guide future park
development through the implementation
of the preferred plan, which may be further
refined by community engagement in
the future. The design was structured to
create independent phases for flexibility in
implementation.

This section proposes a comprehensive
strategy which includes a phasing plan,
a cost estimate, funding strategies, and
environmental review. The estimated
construction costs are conservative and
intended to be used for planning purposes.

Phase 1 (16 acres)
Phase 1A (13.5 acres)
Phase 2 (8 acres)
Phase 3 (6.5 acres)
Phase 4 (4.2 acres)

PHASING STRATEGY
The order and magnitude of construction phases
will be determined by the City of Fairfield, based on
several factors, including the availability of funds
and overall City priorities. Once funds are available
to prepare construction documents, careful
attention should be given to how park elements
are intrinsically connected to others from both
planning and construction perspectives.

Depending on the sequencing of construction,
delaying certain improvements to a later phase may
result in rebuilding, removing, or reworking certain
improvements built in earlier phases. Careful
consideration of the sequencing of construction
must be made to minimize inflation of cost, and it
is recommended to revisit the phasing strategy as
construction documents are prepared.

The Master Plan recommends four implementation
phases, as shown in Figure 5.1, above:
• Phase 1: Entry Road, Roundabout/Drop Off,
Dog Park, Soccer Fields, and Pedestrian Bridge
• Phase 1A: Loop Road
• Phase 2: Soccer Fields and Trail
• Phase 3: Sports Courts, All-Wheel Track, and
Adventure Playground
• Phase 4: Recreation Center, Amphitheater,
Splash Pad, and North Entry at Future Vanden
Road Extension
The first 16-acres (Phase 1) will be developer built.

Developer shall confirm suitability of stockpiled/fill
soil being placed on site for construction purposes.
(Figure 5.1) Phasing Diagram

MATT GARCIA COMMUNITY PARK MASTER PLAN
CHAPTER 5
48 COST ESTIMATE
For each construction area, a budget range was
established. Cost data for materials, construction
components, furnishings, and labor costs were
referenced from recently constructed public
parks and recent bids from contractors; these
referenced projects reflect a similar marketplace,
size, and scope. Current pricing information from
suppliers for materials and furnishings was also
gathered as a source of cost information. Recent
trends in construction costs were analyzed and
considered.

Given the conceptual level of design, a 20%
contingency was included to the estimate for
each of the phases. This contingency is intended
to account for costs that are not apparent at a
conceptual level of design. The cost estimate
assumes the project will be competitively bid on
a fixed fee cost basis, and assumes construction
labor costs will be subject to prevailing wages.

The cost for developing the Matt Garcia Community
Park concept in its entirety is estimated to be
approximately $121,958,327.15 if constructed
today. Though the possibility exists that the cost of
construction could come down, it is expected that
costs will increase and delaying implementation of
the plan will result in an increase in construction
costs above the estimate.

Soft costs for design and engineering account
for approximately 10% of the construction
cost. Additional soft costs to consider while
planning may include permit fees, staff time, and
construction management, among others.

Cost Estimate Methodology
For costing purposes and to aid future planning
efforts, the Master Plan recommends four
implementation phases (Figure 5.1). A summary of
the four preliminary budgets is provided in Tables

5.1 through 5.5.

MATT GARCIA COMMUNITY PARK MASTER PLAN
CHAPTER 5
54 FUNDING STRATEGIES
As seen in many cities across California, generating
revenue to develop, operate, and manage new
parks is challenging. Districts and cities face
substantial funding demands associated with
deferred capital maintenance and enhanced
investments in park operations.

The Matt Garcia Park has the city’s AB1600 Fee
program identified as the funding source for
the construction of the Park. Per the AB1600
fee program the Park has funding identified in 4
phases as listed in Table 5.6.

Park Phase Acreage 2013
Estimated
Cost
2023
Escalated
Cost
Phase 1 16.5 $7,507,500 $10,859,093
Phase 2 16.5 $7,507,500 $10,859,093
Phase 3 5 $2,275,000 $3,290,634
Phase 4 5 $2,275,000 $3,290,634
(Table 5.6) AB1600 Fee Program Adjusted Costs.

Any remaining gap in funding for the construction
of the park will need to be identified and the City will need to determine what funding sources could be
used to finish construction (Grants, partnerships,
loans, etc.)
Per the amended and restated development
agreement, between the City and Canon Station
LLC, dated May 8, 2015, the developer is
responsible for constructing the first phase of the
Park, with the AB1600 fees as the funding source.

Canon Station LLC is also responsible for grading
the entire park site and bringing wet and dry
utilities to the site.

The additional funding plan for Matt Garcia
Community Park will need to cover both capital
costs and operating costs, as outlined in this
section.

Capital Costs
Planning-level estimates generated as part of this
plan indicate that capital investment is required
to build the entire scope of recommendations
in the preferred design. Due to the size, nature,
and geographic distribution of the potential
construction components, investments can be
divided into phases to allow for a staged approach
as funding becomes available. Potential funding
options to support the implementation of the
preferred design include:
• Development impact fee revenues
• Grant funding
• New funding options
Development Impact Fee Revenues
New real estate development, such as with the
adjacent One Lake property, generates revenue
streams to the City through impact fees that
are typically used to fund the expansion of
infrastructure needed to support new
development in order to maintain a desired level
of service. Park impact fees accrued overtime
could be used to fund the construction of minor
capital interventions with a relatively small
implementation budget. Also, developers can
implement and deliver facilities or infrastructure
to parks or public spaces in lieu of impact fees.

This is typically negotiated during the entitlement
process through development agreements or
community benefits agreements.

Grants
Grants are a source of funding to support park
and recreation projects. There are several grants
aimed at park and infrastructure improvement,
including but not limited to California State grants,
Proposition 68 Statewide Parks Program grants,
Solano County grants, local grants, and private
organization grants.

CITY OF FAIRFIELD | FUTURE FAIRFIELD FUN
The Strategy
55 New Funding Options
Partnerships, sponsorships, and donations are
other opportunities for new park funding. The
Matt Garcia Foundation should be considered
when looking for partnerships to develop a capital
campaign fundraiser for the construction of the
the park.

Additional revenue opportunities are possible
through existing park and recreation facilities and
amenities. This includes rentals and user fees
at existing park sites within the City that can be
designated for the construction of Matt Garcia
Community Park.

Operating Costs
The Park
As with all park projects, ongoing investments in
operating and management costs are required
beyond the initial investment. The annual operating
costs of Matt Garcia Community Park will depend
on the precise nature of the park improvements
and the management approach taken.

Specific operating and management cost estimates
for Matt Garcia Community Park have not been
developed at this time. However, according to
the NRPA, agencies managing park and non-park
sites in the Pacific Southwest region, such as the
City fo Fairfield, typically spend $16,253 per acre in
operating expenditures annually. This equates to
approximately $812,650 annually for Matt Garcia
Community Park based on its current acreage (50
acres).

The number of staff members needed to operate a
50-acre park like Matt Garcia Community Park can
vary widely depending on several factors, including
its amenities, activities, visitor volume, and budget.

Matt Garcia Community Park is proposed to be a
regional attraction that would require a high-level
of oversight. Staff could include a grounds and
maintenance crew, security and administrative
staff, programming staff, and seasonal employees.

The Recreation Center
Based on industry standards, recreation centers
require a minimum number of employees, both
full- and part-time, depending on the operational
hours and programs offered. Typically, a recreation
center is open to the public from early morning to
late at night Monday through Friday. Hours differ on
the weekends and recreation facilities are generally
closed on major holidays.

Successful operation of a 40,000 square foot
recreation center like the one proposed at
Matt Garcia Community Park requires regularly
scheduled operations and maintenance staff.

For example, a recently-developed recreation
center containing 34,400 square feet of space
budgeted 50,000 part-time hours for operation,
which is the full-time equivalent (FTE) of 24 full-time employees at a given time. This same facility is also
expecting to employ at least two part-time facility
attendants, one part-time desk administrative staff,
one full-time facility supervisor, and one full-time
facility administrator.

Maintenance and repair costs vary depending on
the frequency of needed maintenance, the size
of the center, equipment, and other factors. User
fees, rentals, and tournaments can help generate
revenue to alleviate operation and maintenance
costs at both the park and recreation center.

CHAPTER 5
56 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In compliance with California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, an addendum was
prepared to supplement and amend the Train
Station Specific Plan Program Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) for Matt Garcia Community
Park (See Appendix G). A Final EIR for Great Park
(Matt Garcia Community Park) was published in
July 2011 (State Clearinghouse #2010042093).

The EIR identified the area as a 50-acre site
anticipated to provide sports and baseball fields,
a skate node, sports courts, picnic areas, and a
lake. A wetlands delineation was conducted, and
subsequent regulatory permits were approved for
the park area as part of the Canon Station portion
of the Specific Plan Area. The City has determined
that the Matt Garcia Community Park project is
consistent with all CEQA Guidelines topic areas
originally reviewed for the EIR and therefore an
addendum to the EIR is the appropriate level of
review, per CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(a). The
addendum includes a description of changes to
the area and Specific Plan since its adoption, a full
project description with anticipated construction
phasing, a conformity analysis documenting the
project’s consistency with the prior environmental
review completed for the Specific Plan, and
relevant technical analyses.

It's serving a neighborhood that is very high income. I doubt Matt would be in favor of that. I'm sure he would have preferred an in town location that you could get to by walking or bus. Not to mention the long drive to get there from most of Fairfield. Vacaville people are closer to it.

Please be mindful of climate change. Trees, drought-resistant plantings and the like are important. Please don't build anything you can't budget to maintain in good condition, especially restrooms.

N/A
Keep it clean and people will come
no
free events
I captain USTA NorCal tennis league teams that used to play at In Shape Dover. They o longer support teams play. We need courts for our league, with a minimum of four.

Please install tennis courts. There are none in the city. Vacaville has over a dozen public tennis courts. Fairfield has none. We need tennis courts. The tennis community is alive and growing. Tennis is pandemic proof.

More soccer fields are desperately needed!
Community is growing with children wanting to play soccer and we are running out of space. Helps keeps our kids off the streets, be responsible, create new skills, long time relationships and great memories.

My 3 kids would love to have more splash pad options for the hot months. Also keep them open until end of October.

As a former soccer coach and father to a soccer player. There is not enough access to areas in which kids can play on a field that has some goals and and or field lines. With how popular soccer is these days I’d love to see some public soccer or futsol areas.

Soccer fields
We need more soccer fields in our community. It is very important that this future park includes more soccer fields especially lighted ones.

No soccer
Living in Solano County for the past 26+ years and in Fairfield in particular for the past 17 years I see this as an opportunity for the city council and the Mayor to progress where neighboring cities lifke Vallejo has failed.

Our youth of all ages need a space of organized sports and music to help keep them from a life of crime.

Soccer is, will and can be an integral part of Fairfield. In order for us as a community with such diverse ethnic backgrounds I see this as a solution to most of our problems with children in Solano County.

The current Octo Complex is too small, out dated and has no lighting.

Look at Manteca. They partnered with Big Dreams to build the 29 million sports complex which is a HUGE success. Such a large complex with the rapid growth in Fairfiled and Vacaville would make The City of Fairfield a poster child of success with our youth.

Sincerely James W. Lancaster.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.eastbaytimes.com/2006/10/17/manteca-dreams-of-big-bucks-from-replicaballparks/amp/ Can’t wait to see that place done!
In order to create a safe space, have a well gated park with lights all over.

A community pool and space for youth rec leagues is needed in a city the size of Fairfield (Table A.20) Round 1 Survey Question 14 Responses

The city of Fairfield needs more sports fields for the growing kid population.

Shade needs to be a big factor for the heat
We need more soccer fields, drinking fountains, restrooms and lighting.

Putting greens
Hand ball quarts
Have something for special needs kids. My daughter has autism and it would be nice to have a open play area with certain play items. As well as cooking classes and arts and craft classes.

No
If you do aquatics please fund it so that those on limited income can swim. Alan Whit is too expensive and Kroc has no play space or times for kids. So sad. All kids should get free swimming lessons.

Matty G was our friend and dearly missed by all Xx Amazing to keep his legacy alive especially for our youth & all citizens of Fairfield :)
Please include an easy hiking trail, shady areas to sit. At one lake, I really enjoy the trail around the lake, the cafe, and the natural features such as boulders, plants/trees Indoor sports/ gymnasium like indoor basketball and soccer will be great for kids bec in the summer it gets too hot to be able to play outside and also when it's raining in the winter kids can't play outside No
We really need more access to sports fields - soccer fields, baseball/softball fields, full basketball courts, etc.

Kid friendly
I believe that a place where structured sports where kids can participate on through out the year having synthetic and natural grass with lighted soccer fields would be beneficial to keep our kids active When adding basketball courts please keep in mind that little ones who are still growing like to play too and only having the option of really tall basketballs courts is frustrating! Possibly having different height basketball courts for all ages so that it is inclusive for all ages!
Can we keep it clean and well looked after? We need a place to feel proud and excited about. Let’s be candid, Alan Witt unfortunately is not the vision that Fairfield hoped it would have been. This is a wonderful opportunity to provide a clean healthy space for the community to collectively enjoy. Let’s give others a reason to drive to Fairfield!

No
More soccer fields would be great! The only place we have is Octo right now.

It would be nice to have more soccer fields for sport teams.

WRITE-IN RESPONSES FOR ‘OTHER’ [CONTINUED]
For longevity of field sports, formal and informal, turf has been great all year round. However, turf fields have know to generate a lot of surface heat during hot weather. Recommend turf field similarly used at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park soccer complex.

No
We really need more soccer fields! We have one area for soccer but cannot put outdoor lighting there which makes it difficult for teams to practice in the winter months in the evening. There are so many kids that would like to do outdoor sports I think we should really focus on keeping the kids active and in organized activities Please build multiple lighted soccer fields with smaller stadium seating and trees.

We live around the corner, would love a dog park on this side of town!!! Also soccer fields, we Have zero near us None
Bathrooms
Build soccer fields
I think turf fields for soccer and baseball would be key for reduced water, maintenance and sports injury occurring from mediocre maintenance.

I hope you can really make some fields with lights, thank you.

We need soccer fields!
No
Our city is needs of more soccer fields as out city grows, there are more kids wanting to play rec and competitively. The current octo facility is becoming too small.

No
Kids and families need a safe place to do whatever they do. Needs to be pet friendly and restrooms need to be installed. Should also be multi use for sports.

We would love to have at least two full size soccer fields with lights, thank you!! Need adequate parking

No
As a mother of a special needs child who is non-mobile and wheelchair-bound, please make this space highly accessible to those who are non-ambulatory, so they can still experience this space without restrictions. Options for accessibility in nature and the outdoors are very limited and extremely discouraging when we are unable to have these experiences as a family.

No
Let's get some soccer fields built with lights so the kids can practice/play all year long! Lit soccer fields would be wonderful
"Soccer goals
Please create more Soccer and Baseball fields with plenty of shade.

Thank you in advanced form making this possible, we need better soccer fields to make the league more safe and fun.

We need more soccer fields in Fairfield. We have a huge community of soccer and limited to where our kids can practice and play. We must recognize that soccer is a growing sport loved by all demographics in Solano county. not at the moment
There is a shortage of tennis courts and facilities in Vacaville/Fairfield and a huge demand for more tennis courts facilities in the surrounding areas. Tennis is a social sport which I feel is integral to the community.

Please have a fix for the homeless that will ruin it
Lawns waste water. I’d love to see native plants, reused water for watering, space and events that bring the community together
No
Thank you for making this happen.

This is exciting for everyone. Good luck!
No
When will this take place ?
None at this time. I am worried about maintenance of the park.

That all of the planning that’s going into this park should also be done for existing parks that aren’t in bougie neighborhoods
A skate park in that side of the City would be great.

Without bathrooms it gets hard to stay or hold an event at a park No basketball court or dog park
Close the park after sunset
Hire night time security
please include a beautiful water fountain for everyone to enjoy, take pictures with family and friends, or just to sit on a nearby bench and watch

Swimming facility like they have in Vacaville
Wellness activities please
Dog park with grass!
Interactive dog park with a designated area for water activities for dogs So excited for Matt's family that this is finally happening! God bless! ❤️✌️ Please include Cherry blossom trees and roses
Safety, clean, & maintained. Welcoming to all ages, groups, & people.

I would like to see baseball diamond, after school programs for the Travis School district, or summer camps offered at the new site.

Keep homeless bums out!
Build features that can be maintained and not destroyed by individuals intent on destruction of property.

There is NOTHING for teenagers. There is a need for an indoor Recreational Roller skate/ skate board/bike park Will there be full time staff monitoring the park? I’m worried that it will end up for a place where the homeless population will gather.

No
Install dog poop bag stations and a sign that says keep it CLEAN! A nice open park would be cool, but I think it’s pretty far away from central/vintage Fairfield. It sounds like it’s closer to the one lake neighborhoods
Do not let this park become a haven for drug use, crime and homeless like Alan Witt, It is embarssing that every park in Vacaville out shines anything Fairfield has except the Cordelia parks Wonderful location for a park. The city needs more Tennis courts - there are only 2 locations now with very few courts. A city of over 100K should have at least 10 city tennis courts.

Mirror Magnolia Park. It's great.

Super excited for this park! We have lots of flat parks already, please keep the natural hills and create walking/ riding paths to enjoys these around the park along with natural planting spaces including pockets of trees with butterfly/bee native plantings to gather under/around.

No
I'd love to see this built as eco friendly as possible. As a female, senior citizen who is disabled...I would like it to have security and hope it turns out beautifully.

We would love a well lot, safe place for families.

I volunteer for a local Competitive travel soccer club in Fairfield and the Matt Garcia Community Park is definitely something that the City If done right there are so many community parks we visit that bring in their cities and communities revenue during local soccer tournaments or games and this can also be done here.

Please please add shade sails over the playground, this is vital during very hot weather. Children are not able to use the structures as they get very hot. Sand pits and water are also very nice and kids love this activity for sensory. Bathrooms near the playground are a must for both children and parents. We often have to leave early because parks have no bathrooms.

Would love a park with water features
I would just like a nice and CLEAN park with trails and amenities that everyone in the family can use.

It should reflect Matt's legacy and encourage young people to get involved in their community - whether that's through art created by other young adults in the community or through quotes on plaques, it needs to show his impact and the possibly of impact others can have, too.

Thank you for the survey
No
Make it a SAFE place to go so people aren't afraid to use it.

Not feeling safe is the #1 reason we don't use other parks in our community now, even though Allen Whitt is only blocks from our home.

I hope the city makes smart choices in landscaping by committing to a design that utilizes native and drought tolerant plants/trees by default when creating new parks. Please, NO eucalyptus or magnolia trees! There are dozens of native trees that provide homes to hundreds of species, such as live oaks. Lead by example and create a space that shows how native plants can be functional and beautiful for the benefit of future generations.

Lighted tennis courts
Don't provide amenities in hidden areas where vandals can damage the facilities under cover of darkness.

Access roads throughout the park for law enforcement to patrol the area.

I am excited at this prospect and can’t wait to see it take shape. I hope there will be volunteering opportunities for people interested in being a part of this exciting, new addition to Fairfield! Can’t wait to have a new park in the community!
Would like to see diagrams before final decisions are made, in order to get community engagement.

Please have decent amounts of tennis courts for our city! There’s a lot tennis players. Not just adults, we need to do this for our kids, too. Some high schools can’t have tennis team for not having enough players. We need to have tennis programs for them.

I am Matt's Uncle and would like to thank you for honoring my Nephew.

Tennis courts needed in Fairfield.

Please put in a pool.

Keep the homeless away. Clean up Allan Witt.

Please include tennis courts. There are many people who would like to play tennis in Fairfield, but do not have access to courts. Thank you!
Please build a minimum of 10 tennis courts so able to host USTA tournament play and programming especially for juniors and staff with a US Professional Tennis Ass’n teaching pro for best service to the community.

I have lived in Fairfield many years and I am frustrated by the fact I have to go all the way to VV or TAFB to find decent courts to play tennis. The city has promised for many years to redo the current courts and upgrade safety at Alan Witt. Many folks tell me they are afraid to go there at night.

Public tennis facilities in Fairfield are severely limited Exciting news. Of course, we would love to have tennis included. Blended pickle ball lines would help make better use of the courts and we could share space.

Great opportunity for a regional sports center.

As someone who recently purchased a home in Fairfield, I am disappointed that my park DIF is being used to build a park for Vacaville residents. That failure aside, I think their are plenty of opportunities to bring unique amenities to this park. I like the idea of a makerspace with equipment and an even mix of passive and active recreation. Of particular importance is hiking, biking, walking and dog space. Taking advantage of any natural features.

Off leash dog park and a park that accommodate medium sized dogs.

Love to have dog parks similar to the ones in Cordelia. Also, a gym for basketball and lighted tennis courts would would be awesome!
Splash area for dogs
This is very exciting and the survey was easy to complete No
I think this park would amazing! I knew matt growing up and would love this park to be in Remembrance of him Fun times miss you matt
Take into consideration it can be a very windy area so plan accordingly. Focus on providing amenities the nearby parks do not have.

It’s a wonderful idea and will be a great addition to the area Don't let it turn into a homeless encampment, gang gathering area, drug haven, place for cars to burn rubber.

Plenty of parking
We are thrilled about this park and we know and can feel that Matt is too❤️ Tener paz

WRITE-IN RESPONSES
There needs to be a basketball court and some other activity other than tennis and pickle ball.

I think this concept will get used heavily during soccer season. The other features will get lighter use, so I feel that this concept doesn't attract the widest user groups. The picnic tables clustered in the lower left corner are a waste.They will only be used by teenagers and young adults looking for a secluded place to party at night.

Love the playground and splash pad, much needed covered areas.

Like but missing basketball area
a walking loop/path within the open space/nature network would be a nice addition . Too many tennis courts and not enough of other type of sports courts i.e pickleball, futsol Too much waste water for another grass / soccer field
Generic playground is not exciting. Too many sports fields. Existing ones in the city often don't get used. No basketball court.

I love all the soccer fields! Soccer is a huge part of this community.

Good. Applies to most people and has trees
Negative: Playground is to close to exit, think kidnapping & runaway kids in parking area. Dog park to close to parking think runaway dogs & dog nappers. Both are too close to the main ""Vanden Road""...loud & fast driving...

Why not put the sports fields & courts in the front near the main road. At least the fencing will be high enough with sports fields near entrance.

Main concern...busy Vanden road & to easy for bad people to get into & out of community park with stolen property/people. Splash pad...we are in a drought!
Plan concept 2 is looks great. Love the tennis courts snd dog parks .

Yes!!!! Finally something for everyone in our community! Perfect! i like the playgrounds, picnic areas and open space. Looks like there is ample parking. regarding the dog park is there only going to be one, or can there be a small and a large dog park. Just not sure about the soccer field of tennis courts, how close will they be to the picnic area.

Love the dog park idea
Basic park. Ok. Dog parks I'm on the fence about.
would like to see the fields to have lights. Soccer Fields with Lights is a must. that way the community would be able to use them longer in throughout the day/night. Overall layout looks good. would like to see some kind of central concession stand or food court. if this area is available for soccer tournaments this can bring in a lot of revenue just in concessions during tournaments. Parking- will need to plan for overflow parking (tournaments) This is a great concept! What i've seen in the past with other parks is random areas where you can stretch or do various exercises aka: exercise stops. The signs would tell you what areas this exercise would target and how to do them. I cannot recall where I saw this but it was a great reminder to stretch and targeting various muscles of the body.

Love the nature aspect. The parking situation looks nicely laid out.

No basketball courts yay!!!! No Dog Park, dog owners habitually fail to pick up after their animals and unleased/ aggressive dogs just increase likelihood of a child or adult getting attacked and then a lawsuit (please avoid putting in a dog park!!!) Open Space/Nature Neworks are wonderful but again attract homeless so unless the no camping ordinance is enforced and regular police patrols or park rangers are deployed, then don't bother with this concept.

Concern on traffic safety entering/leaving the grounds. Otherwise like the setup.

More nature-centered which is the intention of a "park" Too many tennis courts and not enough play area for kids.

The nature space looks organic and natural in this concept. I’d like to keep a little wild for our animal neighbors.

I like how some picnic areas have their own spot and is secluded in the park. For BIG parties.

This is ok. But doesn’t have as much variety of activities as concept 3 organic play, which is the better park concept.

Positives: a little of each (playgrounds, picnic, fields, etc) Negatives: unsure if enough parking (for example a Saturday game for 12 soccer teams playing on 6 fields
Please include restrooms.

Restrooms are important with small kids! Love the splash pad idea. Lots of shade is important also.

I like the open space nature network. I hope it has native plants/trees that encourage people to go outside more and interact with nature. Bird watching areas, kids sensory garden or places where they could use magnifying glasses or other tools to interact with insects and plants, and an arboretum with plant labels and descriptions of local wildlife would be great.

I like this, make sure have shade areas for seniors to sit and enjoy Soccer space is too much. Missing walking paths. Good amount of family space.

I actually love the idea. Sounds like a great park where we can spend lots of time in! Overall I like the design. I would rather see more space for play and relaxing rather than investing in a dog park.

Animals are great but our first priority should be our youth.

Why so many soccer fields, is this trying to be a soccer complex? I don't care for the splash pad being near the rec center and away from the playground areas. I know kids love to get wet and then go slide, repeatedly.

The locations of some of the picnic areas look to be far away from parking. If a mom with children in tow were to be setting up for a party, and wanted/or had only choice of the far corner picnic area, she might have extreme struggle carrying her gear or keeping children with her. I might not be able to visualize the scale" I like that the parking lot has multiple entrances and sufficient parking space. I like that picinic tables have shade and are spread out around the park. I like that there are also restrooms through out the park. I don't like that the kids playground, splash pad, and dog park are separated by the parking lot road. I think they should be together to prevnt kids from having to cross the parking lot to go to each place. I also dont like that the dog park and playgrounds are close to the main road, I think they should be set back further for saftey reasons. I think the open space area should be in the backside of the park so its more secluded and makes you feel more in nature away from traffic. I do like where the recreation center is located, its visible from the road and has easy access and parking.

Please, please add shade to the playground. Our kids bake in the hot sun! I like the variety of spaces and that they are distributed somewhat evenly. I also like the splash pad, because it seems like a way to help kids stay safe while being active in our California summers. It seems like the tennis courts take up a disproportionate amount of space, but I don’t play tennis so I’m biased in that way. I like the open nature area. From what I can tell, the bathrooms are in the bottom left corner, far from parking lots, and I worry about accessibility for those using wheelchairs or other mobility aids. Also, what would the recreation center be?

Not as much soccer fields and more tennis courts.

Splash pad should be near playground since kids often like to go back and forth between them. Also should be fair amount of shaded benches/tables near the playground and Splash pad for parents I like 3 entrances, use of roundabouts, and the variety of ammenities. Will there be a bike rack? Seems like too much soccer fields in each concept. We already have octo fields for soccer as well as fields at allan witt and laurel creek parks. Why 6 more fields? We need better play structures in our cities. 94533 play structures are the worst in some neighborhoods and lack remodeling and maintenance. Which is why they have a lot less families utilizing them and traveling across town to other parks. Its sad that linear park/second st play structure has heroine needles and old crack pipes laying around. I have picked them up with other trash I found lying around to get them out of the bark that my child has played in. Get it together fairfield.

Dog park should be divided into 2 sections...one for small and one for large. Otherwise, those with small dogs cannot use it as it is too dangerous. Too many soccer fields and not enough tennis courts Add more tennis courts. Soccer is enjoyed by several people per field but tennis is 2-4 persons. It is difficult to get courts during peak hours at neighboring areas. Otherwise, great concept!! We don't need a dog park in a park that has a splash pad (imagine people not listening to signage and allowing their dogs in the splash pads). The soccer area is too big compared to pickleball area, the demographic of the people enjoying soccer to pickleball will be uneven. The open space and recreation center are great. Parking area needs to be bigger.

Like the open space, 2 playgrounds, and splash pad. Parking seems to make sense next to playgrounds and sports fields. Too many soccer fields. Is that a little stream/creek? I like the large open space area. I don't like that all the sports fields are stacked next to one another.

Love it!
I like having tennis courts.

Looks nice, but is it enough parking. Will there be sufficient overflow parking on the street? I like the look of this park and all that it includes. Hopefully there will be at least 4 to 5 tennis courts, with lights As well as a bathroom & seating area (shaded) nearby.

I can't see any bathrooms. There should be bathrooms.

Likes sports fields and courts. Missing descriptions on open space & nature networks. What will be included in open space & nature networks? Open spaces can serve different needs such as a community garden or walking trails.

Dislike its the share is not balance, it seems only serve for the soccer ball teams/ players 6 soccer courts but it missed the basketball courts and tennis & pickleball need to be share same courts , its not fair.

The only addition to this one would be an amphitheater. And, all of the sports fields are located in the same area.

Does it really need 6 soccer fields?
Very interesting design, its different than most parks in Fairfield. Excited to see the results! I like the playground, dog park, and splash pad coponents best. Fairfield could benefit from an extra large/special playground/splash pad features that become a regional attraction that set the MG park apart from any other offerings in Solano County (i.e. a real destination park).

I do not like the idea of a parking lot in the middle of the area.. parking lot #4. Doesn't seem safe for kids to walk/ run through a parking structure to get to the open nature area. (Table A.35) Round 2 Survey Question 1 Responses (cont.)

Good ideas. I do not feel that soccer, pickleball/tennis are enough community sports activities to offer.

I don’t see a much needed full court basketball area!!
Guessing the 2 playgrounds are for younger/older children, this makes it difficult for parents with children of multiple ages. Fairfield in general has a lack of Basketball Courts. Dog park looks squished in. This design has my favorite Open Space, Nature Network plan.

I like the wide variety of activities this park concept provides and the organic feeling of the open space nature networks.

I like the rec center, as long as it includes an indoor basketball court, which would be a great benefit to the city.

There is much support for a competitive youth basketball league but there is no where to host tournaments which would allow teams to raise money in order to make it affordable for the kids that are unable to play due to the expense while also bringing revenue to the city.

Like the open space and There are no baseball or basketball courts. There should be more tennis courts and less focus on soccer fields.

Splash pad is far from the playground. Kids play on both! They go back and forth.

I dislike how far the playground is from the splash pad as children naturally like to go back and forth between these two features. The playground is on the corner right next to the street and unless it is going to be fenced in, it doesn’t allow for a relaxed visit for the parents if they are making sure the children aren’t running into the street the whole time. I dislike the splash pad being so close to the parking lot as children like to run through the water and depending on how close the parking lot is, it might be problematic to have the splash pad so close. I don’t see any restrooms which would be a nice feature to have especially with the splash pad.

Recreational center would be a top priority to generate rentals throughout the year for indoor sports.

I like the variety of amenities, it would be helpful to see the specific locations of the picnic area elements (2), since there is a significant difference between shade structures/tables and restrooms/trash. I like the abundance of sports fields and courts. It looks like there are a lot of trees in the open space labelled 8, which I really appreciate in a park! This plan is more standard, typical park plan, which isnt bad but if given the option id love to see amenities not as common in public parks.

I think this is a great idea. It has something for all ages.

I really like the mix of hard and play surfaces mixed with natural sections that could act as wind breaks and meditative areas to join nature. It also seems a little basic, like many other park with the same elements. Why would someone drive all the way to this if they have a similar park closer (playground, picnic areas).

One of the playgrounds should be closer to the picnic areas in the bottom left (near area 8) so parents can still keep an eye on their kids if they are at those picnic sites also.

Love having a dog park and opening up more sports fields to attract kids in sports.

I like that there are more threes in this plan and that there are no basketball courts A jogging trail through out the park would be a good addition
Dislike, not sure if tennis and pickeball are sharing same courts? If sharing same court please make sure pickleball lines are not overly bright. Makes it very difficult to call lines effectively when playing tennis. Blue court/ white lines for tennis with pickleball lines black are ideal.

Love the tennis courts!!!!
Need more tennis courts!! Remove some soccer and get more tennis courts! (Table A.36) Round 2 Survey Question 1 Responses (cont.)

I love the dog park. I would like walking paths
I think the open spaces may also be attractive for native animals to the area, like rattle snakes.

Likes: Variety of activities
I like the inclusion of pickleball courts.

I feel this concept is more balanced with what seems like a lot of spaces for each activity.

Concept #1 feels like the primary focus is on soccer. Picnic areas in the far corner away from parking will likely get little use.

Like the tennis courts. Like the shaded areas….shade is important in the park for any activity I like this concept, I would move some of the picnic bench areas around the larger playground instead of all in a line. I would also add picnic benches, places to sit, and shade in the dog park. I have been to enough of these were there is no where to sit or shade and it is not fun during the summer.

Liking it so far! I like how the dog park is further out just in case their owners don’t pick up their feces.

Need for more tennis courts with separate pickellball courts Concept #1 is by far my favorite, but if I had to rank them, this would be my #2. This design is still to field/court sport centric, there are already enough parks throughout Fairfield that offer this type of play. I'd like to see something different (skate park/pump track) in a new park. I DO like the addition of the Open Space, Nature Network design feature.

Dislike the dog park being too close to the playgrounds. Too many dog owners would leave their dogs off leash outside of this area and possibly causing injury to children.

Like it
Like the soccer fields, splash pad, picnic areas, open space, and rec center. Do not like the dog park.

I like it
Please focus on tennis courts versus pickle ball. Do not combine the two on the same court.

Like the open space nature network and that parking is located to the sides of the park. Don't know if splash pad is necessary, especially given drought and climate change I like the variety and the elements with nature
Community center and baseball field
a nice mix. i like the picnic areas near the tennis/pickleball courts. please be more clear on tennis/pickleball. dedicated courts to each sport is wildly preferred! your picture shows shared courts which require portable nets for pickleball. the rec center is a nice amemity. i think there are more basketball players out there and a basketball court would be a good add.
