4 1.1 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Master Plan Update is to
provide a realistic and visionary guide for the
creative, orderly development and management of
parks, trails, and recreation facilities for the City of Manteca, now and into the future. The Master Plan
Update findings and recommendations are based
on a combination of community input derived from
workshops and surveys; input from professional
staff; the City General Plan and existing records;
participation data; and technical analyses. As
such, they represent the historic background and
community expectations moving forward.
1.2 RECREATION
FACILITY NEEDS
ASSESSMENT
The months-long Master Planning process took
considerable effort in working with the community
to identify and prioritize recreational facility
needs over the next 15 years within the City. This
process brought together community members
in a series of workshops designed to identify
specific interests, needs, and satisfaction with
City programming and facilities. The process
also surveyed focus groups and community
sports organizations to get an understanding
of community participation levels, requests for
services and facilities. Together with City staff and
the community, the design team led a prioritization
process to create a plan for future development.
A significant portion of this process included data
gathering to assess community expectations,
facility requirements, demand, and needs analysis.
A summary of these efforts are as follows.
COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS AND
FOCUS GROUPS
A total of three facilitated community workshops
were conducted. The first workshop focused
on community perceptions of the City’s overall
character, its recreation facilities, and identified
preferred existing facilities and desired additions.
The second workshop discussed recreation facility
priorities. The third workshop envisioned a plan
and amenities for a large future community park.
Numerous individuals representing organizations
or special interest groups attended more than one
of these meetings.
SPORTS ORGANIZATION
QUESTIONNAIRES
Sports organizations that operate in the City, such
as soccer teams, swim teams, and skateboarding
and action sports clubs, responded to a
questionnaire designed to gather qualitative and
quantitative information about participation rates,
practice/play schedules, facility needs, and the

condition of the facilities used. These responses
were taken into account in the Needs Assessment
to determine park and facility deficiencies by sport.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS AND NEEDS
ASSESSMENT
In addition to the above, significant effort was
placed on conducting a range of detailed studies
including recreation facility demand needs analysis
based upon actual participation rates, service
area analysis, trends analysis, regional benchmark
analysis, parkland acreage analysis, an assessment
of program needs, and the physical condition of
City facilities.
SUMMARY OF PARKLAND ACREAGE
FINDINGS
The City currently manages just over 451 acres of
parks, facilities, trails, and recreation lands, which
is the equivalent of 4.95 acres per 1,000 residents.
This figure is higher than many communities in
California, which helps explain why the majority of
Manteca’s residents report a high satisfaction rate
for parks and recreation.
When the acreage is broken down into functional
categories, however, there are a few areas for
improvement that are identified in this Master
Plan. As shown in Table 4-4, the City currently
has 84.79 acres of community parkland. Using
the City’s recommended parkland acreage goal
for neighborhood parks at 1 acre per 1,000
residents (utilizing the current population figure
of 91,055), there is currently a goal figure of 91
acres, resulting in a current deficit of 6.3 acres.
This is approximately the equivalent of one
community park. The City exceeds its goals for
special-use parkland (1.008 acres/1,000 residents)
and neighborhood parkland (3.01 acres/1,000
residents).
In addition to the above, based upon the
identification of additional facility needs outlined
in table 4-4, by year 2040 a cumulative total of
approximately 346 acres of new neighborhood
parkland development would be required, a total of
approximately 122 additional acres of community
parkland, and 115 acres of special-use parkland.
This amount is approximate and could be met by
a combination of utilizing existing undeveloped
parkland and acquiring new parkland to develop.
The highest needs expressed by the community
were for indoor recreation facilities, aquatics
facilities, and pickleball. This master plan update
provides detailed recommendations to help the
City meet the expressed needs in a systematic way,
so the City will have the tools it needs to develop
parks as funding becomes available.
As a general note on the calculation of park
acreage, the 2016 Master Plan included 101 acres
of the Manteca Park Golf Course for a total of 483
acres of city owned facilities and parks. In this
master plan, the golf course acreage is not included
in City-maintained parkland totals.
ATTACHMENT 2
6 1.3 GOALS,
POLICIES, AND
ACTIONS
Section 3 of this document provides a series of
goals and their associated policies and actions to
guide the City in the planning, design, conservation,
maintenance and operations, implementation,
management and marketing of the system of parks
and recreation offerings within Manteca. These
goals have only been updated from the 2016
Master Plan to reflect the goals accomplished in
the last decade, as well as on-going efforts to plan,
design, manage, and implement parks in the City.
In the future, the City should endeavor to revisit
these Goals and set new priorities and actions that
reflect the current status of the City.
1.4 RECREATION
FACILITY
RECOMMENDATIONS
The facility needs assessment outlined in Section
4 includes an analysis of existing conditions
and future needs and suggests enhancements
to better meet current and future facility and
program needs. As an outcome of that process,
Section 5 outlines specific recommendations
regarding enhancements/expansion of
existing facilities, potential for new facilities
to meet current and anticipated future needs
and improved maintenance to address some
deferred maintenance issues. In general, the
recommendations for expanded and new facilities
are based largely on community input which
reflects the interest in these facilities by current
user groups and individuals.
Consistent with the overall organization of the
Master Plan, the recommendations and findings
related to facilities are listed below:

RECOMMENDATIONS
& PROGRAMS
Section 5 provides the recommendations and
programs of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan
Update. This section provides a comprehensive
multi-year projection (to year 2040) of achievable
and measurable action items for staff, Recreation
and Parks Commission, and City Council to
consider in the prioritization and allocation of
resources to meet the parks, recreation and trails
needs of the community.
1.6 FUNDING AND
IMPLEMENTATION
STRATEGIES
Funding of parkland acquisition and development
is a complex combination of long term planning,
budgeting and implementing financing options.
The requested needs of the community are
calculated and the individual costs are combined
so that an overall cost is identified. The Master
Plan identifies estimated costs for recommended
improvements in Section 6.
Funding analysis requires calculation of the nexus
between costs required to meet current perceived
deficiencies versus costs to meet future anticipated
needs that arise because of population growth,
shifting demographics, and changing interests.
A nexus is established when it is shown that new
residential development provides an equitable
funding level to alleviate the impact to existing
services. The Master Plan also provides projected
future costs for land acquisition and anticipated
development in Section 6. A companion Park
Development Impact Fee Nexus Study was
conducted as part of this planning process.
Appropriate planning and allocation of funds by the
City of Manteca will ensure a variety of recreation
and open space opportunities that meet the needs
of today and future generations.

12 2.1 INTRODUCTION
The Parks and Recreation Master Plan is based on
the guiding principle that the quality of life in any
City depends in large part upon the quality and
availability of parks, recreation facilities, programs, and trails. Across the nation, organizations such as
the California Park and Recreation Society and the
National Recreation and Park Association describe
the many important ways recreation facilities and
programming can help in creating healthy lifestyles
and livable communities
A park or a recreation facility means different
things to different people. To some residents,
parks are active sports fields; others have images
of passive open spaces where one can walk, rest,
and enjoy nature. Still others may envision parks
as places for community gatherings and events.
Indeed, parks and recreation facilities are used
for all of these purposes and more. A diverse,
vital recreation system is therefore necessary in
sustaining the healthy and recreation oriented
lifestyles of Manteca’s residents.
The City of Manteca’s goals are to provide and
maintain high quality parks and recreation
facilities and programs that meet the needs of
its residents. These facilities will provide ample
leisure, recreational, and sport opportunities
for the community, and can also be economic
drivers that attract visitors from outside the city.
The ensuing sections document the current and
projected needs of the city, parks and recreation
recommendations based on those needs, and
possible implementation strategies.

RESOURCES
FOSTER HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
Parks are an incredibly important part of a
community. They provide an array of benefits
for citizens and the community.
Parks provide citizens with facilities to
exercise, relax, and recharge, which
improves overall community health.
Communities with good access to parks
see lower cases of health issues, reduced
stress, and improved self-esteem and
mental health.
Quality parks are linked to increased
property values, tourism dollars, business
attraction and retention. Home buyers
want to live near quality park systems,
which attract businesses seeking skilled
employees.
Parks serve as gathering places that
bring people together across age,
culture, and background. They foster
social connection, civic pride, and a
sense of belonging.
Well-used parks increase community
presence and natural surveillance, which
can help reduce crime and vandalism.
From early childhood development to
senior wellness programs, parks support
education, leadership, skill-building,
and emotional development through
recreational activities and social interaction.
Parks preserve green space, protect
wildlife habitats, help manage stormwater,
and so much more. These lands also
connect people with nature and promote
environmental stewardship in the community.

CITY OF MANTECA PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN UPDATE 2026
2.0 | INTRODUCTION
13 2.2 APPROACH
AND DOCUMENT
ORGANIZATION
This City of Manteca Parks and Recreation Master
Plan Update builds upon the Parks and Recreation
Master Plan, adopted in 2016, in order to update it
to address the evolving recreational needs of the
community. Over the course of several months,
the City and consultant team underwent a process
of research, assessment of current facilities,
community engagement, and analysis to develop
a prioritized plan to accommodate the projected
growth and recreational needs of the community.
Section 1.0: Executive Summary
The Executive Summary is an overview of the
information provided within this document. It
summarizes the purpose and function of the Master
Plan, the process utilized to update it, and the
findings and recommendations resulting from the
process.
Section 2.0: Introduction
The Introduction outlines the structure and purpose
of the Master Plan, contextual data about the
community, and growth projections for the city
generated by the General Plan.
Section 3.0: Goals, Policies, and Actions
This section includes the useful tools for
implementation in the form of goals, policies, and
actions that reflect priorities for the community
and trends in the parks and recreation field. Goals
are general statements of what the City would
like to achieve. Policies are concise statements
of intent, and actions are statements detailing
specific actions or activities that the City may use
to achieve a goal and fulfill a policy. The goals,
policies, and actions are neutral in the sense that
they do not detail the current level of work by the
City, but rather the range of work in which the City
should be involved.
Section 4.0: Recreation Facility Needs
Assessment
The Needs Assessment provides a detailed
assessment of the recreation facility needs of
the existing and future Manteca community.
The City and consultant team underwent a
robust community-engagement process to elicit
quantitative and qualitative feedback on current
and future needs for the City’s park and recreation
system. The assessment utilizes the following
needs-identification tools:
Community Outreach: Information gathered from
the community through a series of workshops,
stakeholder interviews, workshop participant
questionnaires, surveys, sports-organization and
community-organization questionnaires.
Recreation Demand and Needs Analysis: An
evaluation of selected current and future facility
needs was developed using results from the facility
inventory, sports-organization questionnaires, and
relevant demographic projections.
Service Area Analysis: An evaluation of how parks
and recreation facilities are distributed throughout
residential areas in Manteca.
Acreage Analysis: An evaluation of parkland
acreage needs in the City based on established
standards and on identified need for specific
recreation facilities such as sports fields or courts.

ATTACHMENT 2
CITY OF MANTECA PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN UPDATE 2026
2.0 | INTRODUCTION
15 The Master Plan’s primary purpose is to
act as a bridge between the General Plan
and the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
The General Plan’s scope is broad, setting
high-level policies, goals, and standards
for city-wide parks and recreation.
The CIP is a finely detailed budget and
schedule for the implementation of
specific improvements. The Master Plan
is the link between the two documents in
which the City Council evaluates needs
and sets policies to guide the preparation
of the CIP and the planning for specific
projects.
To recommend amendments, if
necessary, to the General Plan that will
facilitate coordination of General Plan
policies for public facility development
with the Master Plan and the CIP.
To provide a detailed list of specific
projects that is needed to complete the
park system and to mitigate the impact of
growth on recreation services.
To provide documentation for the
calculation of impact mitigation fees.
2.3 PURPOSE OF
THE MASTER PLAN
The Parks and Recreation Master Plan is a policy
document that addresses current and future
recreation and community services, park planning
and development, maintenance and operations,
community programs, potential funding strategies,
and an implementation plan of those programs and
facilities.
This document serves as an update to the 2016
Parks and Recreation Master Plan, and builds upon
the framework and goals established within that
plan. This plan focuses on assessing the state of
parks and recreation within the City of Manteca
with the purpose of reevaluating and updating
recreational needs, trends, and growth projections
within the city.

18 2.4 CONTEXT
Physical Setting
Relatively flat topography and open space provided
opportunities for neighborhood development.
Thus, many park and recreation facilities, walking
trails, and bicycling trails were constructed and
contribute strongly to community identity and
quality of life in Manteca.
History
Manteca has a rich cultural history that paints
a picture of change over thousands of years,
and which includes Native Americans, Mexican
settlements, ranching, farming, and urbanizing land
development.
Extensive open space around the City is a reminder
of the early days in the Central Valley. There have
been many significant events that have shaped
the physical and economic evolution of the area,
including:
• Approximately 4,000 years ago, the rivers,
levees and open ranges of the Central Valley
were part of a permanent settlement of the
Native American Yokuts Indian Tribe and other
tribes.
• In the early 1800s, Spanish settlers attempted
to establish mission sites in the San Joaquin
Delta, but were unsuccessful.
• Mexico won independence from Spain in 1821,
providing the Mexican colonists in California
with authority to grant subdivided California
land to loyalists.
• In 1861, Joshua Cowell claimed approximately
1,000 acres, built homes, and established
cattle ranching and farming interests, primarily
wheat, hay, rye, and barley.
• In 1873, the Central Pacific Railroad laid track
through the area, built a station and the
residents eventually named the town Manteca.
• In 1918, the town was officially incorporated as a
City, naming Joshua Cowell its first mayor.
• Modest growth of the town occurred over its
first few decades; then in the 1950s and 1960s
it saw a post-war increase in population and
homebuilding similar to the rest of the United
States.
• Nicknamed “The Family City,” Manteca has had
a history of recreational importance, starting
with the development of the first California
water park, the Manteca Waterslides, in 1974,
and the Big League Dreams Sports Park in
2005.
• Significant municipal park and school
development alongside the residential and
commercial land development from the 1990s
through today has helped the City provide
recreation and educational facilities and to
maintain a high quality of life. The area has
a very stable population and employment
base, with cultural diversity, a rich heritage, and
engaged community participation.

2.0 | INTRODUCTION
19 Summary of Demographic Context
Understanding the demographic context of the
City is an important component of recreation
and park facilities and program planning.
Demographic characteristics such as age,
presence of children, ethnicity, and income have
been demonstrated in past research to have a
relationship to recreation patterns and program
needs. For these reasons, an overview of changes
and emerging trends of the resident population
is important as the community plans its preferred
future. This Plan utilized updated census data from
the 2020 census and 2023 American Community
Survey to provide current population and
demographic data.
Forecast Population Growth
Table 2-1 presents a forecast of population growth
within the City extending to 2040. As the table
illustrates, population growth in the City to 2040 is
expected to occur at a rate of approximately 5.26%
per year, with approximately 7,497 new residents
anticipated each year on average. This rate and
volume of new residents anticipated between
now and 2040 is much higher than the rate
experienced during the 2010 to 2020 time frame.
The population by 2040 is estimated at 206,882
persons, up from the current population estimate
of 91,055 persons.

Table 2-1 also presents a forecast of housing unit
growth within the City, which is expected to occur
at approximately an average of 2,158 units per year,
from now to year 2040.
Trends and Implications Analysis
How people recreate and the facilities required to
do so are constantly changing. Communities can
expend vast resources trying to stay current, only
to have a fad pass. Therefore, understanding the
trends that affect the park and recreation industry
is very important as the City moves through the
process of developing a Parks and Recreation
Master Plan to ensure investments meet the current
and long term needs of the community while
remaining sustainable.
An awareness of trends affecting the future
economy, facility operation, and program
participation will not only enhance the ability to
meet growing and changing needs, but open
doors to new opportunities. Paying attention to
current issues and understanding future issues
will assist the City of Manteca in achieving
sustainability and positioning parks and recreation
as an essential service to the community.
This Master Plan is an update to the 2016 Parks
and Recreation Master Plan. It serves to adjust the
recreation needs and growth projections of the
City of Manteca to match current needs and trends
of the community. As such, it relies heavily on the
2016 plan for much of the fundamental framework,
research, and policies. This plan is meant to work
with the 2016 plan to create a vision for parks
and recreation in the City of Manteca for the next
several years.
In addition, there are other existing documents and
plans that relate to the Master Plan and influence its

POLICIES,
AND ACTIONS
OVERVIEW
With the development of the Parks and Recreation
Master Plan, considerable work was done to create
a comprehensive detailing of goals, policies, and
actions that complement the existing General Plan
goals and policies and enable the implementation
of this Master Plan. Over the ensuing years, these
tools will provide the ability to gauge areas of
accomplishment and opportunities for refocused
attention. Future modifications to the goals,
policies, and actions may depend on future
changes to demographics, budget, recreation
program utilization, facility usage patterns, new
partnerships, and additional community input.
The goals, policies, and actions listed in this
section were originally developed as part of the
2016 Master Plan. The City has implemented and
accomplished many of the policies, strategies and
actions detailed here. Many continue to be works
in progress, and some have been challenging to
address due to funding or other reasons. Some of
the goals, policies and actions have been updated
based on current needs of the City.
The following goals, policies, and actions provide
a comprehensive 20-year projection of achievable
and measurable action items for staff and the City
Council to utilize in the prioritization of resources
to meet the park and recreational needs of the
community.
Italicized text represents text that has been
modified from the 2016 Master Plan.

4.1 NEEDS
ASSESSMENT
OVERVIEW
This portion of the Master Plan provides an
overview of existing parks, trails, recreation
facilities and programs within the City of Manteca.
This section also reviews potential opportunities
that could further enhance the services and
programs offered by the Parks and Recreation
Department. An understanding of existing
resources is essential prior to beginning the needs
evaluation process.
A diverse combination of recreation buildings,
community parks, neighborhood parks, specialuse facilities, trails, and school facilities provide opportunities for a myriad of community and
personal activities for recreation, education, health,
and cultural enrichment within the City.

40 TOP FINDINGS
1. INDOOR RECREATION
One of the most common needs identified by
the community was space for indoor recreational
programming. Summers in the Central Valley are
very hot, which can make outdoor recreational
activities unbearable or dangerous. Creating
space indoors for those activities and more is
important to the community. Indoor gyms and
multi-generational recreation centers are very
popular and can accommodate a wide range of
needs. They can facilitate intramural and league
sports like basketball and volleyball; recreational
activities like fitness classes, jogging, and futsal;
and senior and youth programs like arts programs,
after school programs, and teen lounges.
2. SWIMMING & AQUATICS
While Manteca currently has one public pool,
there was consensus that a larger multi-purpose
recreation and competitive facility is needed to
support more programs, especially water polo.
The current facility is outdated and is in need of
renovation to continue to meet the needs of the
adjacent community. Another, larger facility will be
important as the community grows.
3. MAINTAIN EXISTING PARKS
Every community group interviewed during the
master planning process wanted to ensure that
existing parks are maintained to appropriate levels.
Residents expressed some concern over current
maintenance levels, and that improvement was a
priority.
4. PICKLEBALL / TENNIS
Court sports, especially pickleball, were a common
theme during community engagement. Pickleball
is one of the fastest-growing sports in the U.S. and
cities are challenged to keep pace with growth,
Manteca being no exception. While pickleball is
growing in the City, tennis is still very popular and
there was need for additional lighted courts to
meet demand.
5. FUNDING
Critical to the success of any parks and recreational
program is the funding necessary to build,
maintain, and operate facilities. Funding for parks
and recreation can come from a wide range of
sources, and the community supported a vigorous
approach. Funds can come from voter-supported
initiatives such as bonds or tax initiatives, private
investments and partnerships, state and federal
grants, or capital budgets, to name a few.
6. ROLLER SPORTS
The community identified a need for more room for
roller sports like roller skating and skateboarding.
The current skate park is undersized, outdated, and
lacks adequate space for rollerskating/blading.
7. BETTER CITY COMMUNICATION
Sometimes, citizens are not aware of all the
programs and facilities available to them within
the City. Boosting outreach and communication
programs can be a cost effective way to help
citizens better utilize the current facilities without
the need for creating more.
Through interviews with key stakeholders, City staff, and robust community input, some themes emerged regarding the City’s Parks and Recreation. Those findings, summarized here, formed the foundation of the Master Plan needs assessment and recommendations.

4.2 PARK
DEFINITIONS
Manteca’s General Plan defines the Parkland-use
category as:
“This designation provides for neighborhood,
community and regional parks, greenways, golf
courses, and other outdoor recreational facilities
within urban development. Specific uses include
public recreation sites, including ball fields, tot
lots and play apparatus, adult softball and soccer
playing fields, swimming pools, community center
buildings, meeting facilities, libraries, art centers,
after-school care facilities, art in public places,
facilities for night-time recreation, trail benches,
interpretive markers, picnic areas, barbecue
facilities, landscaping, irrigation, city wells, trees, and natural habitat areas.“
Further, the Open Space category is defined as:
“This (Open Space) designation provides for
habitat, open space, natural areas, lands of special
status species, wetlands, and riparian areas.
These are set aside as permanent open space
preserves to protect environmentally sensitive
areas. Development is limited to improvements,
such as parking, restrooms, and walkways, etc,
to provide for public access to open space and
educational facilities, such as learning centers
or space for hosted talks and tours of the open
space.”
The City currently categorizes parks into
three broad categories: Special-use Facilities,
Neighborhood Parks, and Community Parks. The
City of Manteca General Plan provides a modest
definition for only Neighborhood Parks. This
definition is:
“Neighborhood parks shall conform to the
following general guidelines (specific details and
standards to be determined within the Parks and
Recreation Master Plan):
• The typical minimum size shall be set to support
active and passive recreation activities.
• The typical service area for a neighborhood
park is approximately one-quarter-mile walking
distance.
• Neighborhood parks shall include a turf area
above the basin floodline of sufficient area to be
used for playgrounds, sports, picnic areas, and
other recreational facilities.”
The General Plan also identifies the desire to use
joint development of park and drainage retention
basins in the development of Neighborhood parks.
For purposes of this Master Plan report, the
term “park” is broadly defined. This report will
use the term “park” and “recreational facility”
interchangeably and, consistent with the General
Plan, the terms refer to all recommended City park
types described in section 4.2.
Areas not generally considered as “parkland”
include: street medians and parkways; natural
preserved or conserved open space areas without
access or improvements; unimproved land zoned
for uses other than recreation; and flood zones.
CITY PARK TYPES
Park classifications are generally driven by park
use, purpose, and size. The classifications are
not grouped by maintenance frequency or the
presence of a particular asset. Creating such a
classification system serves the following purposes:
• These classifications will provide a general
guideline for future development options.
The combination of descriptors for each
park type represents what has generally
been successful on a certain sized plot of
land located in a certain type of physical
environment. These guidelines can help to set
community expectations for a given site.
ATTACHMENT 2
42 • These classifications may serve as a basis
for policies around appropriate programming
in different park types.
• These classifications may inform functional
planting design standards and other design
standards.
The City should fully define a park classification
system of Neighborhood Park, Community Park,
and Special-use Park/Facility to detail uses
and acceptable features of each type of park.
Recommended classification definitions are:
NEIGHBORHOOD PARK
Typically these parks serve the surrounding
neighborhood for multiple uses. Park
development may include play areas, small
fields, benches, picnic tables, and improved
paths, but generally not restroom facilities.
Geographic range of users is up to one-quartermile.
Pocket Park, a sub-classification of neighborhood
parks, are typically smaller developed urban open
space of a very small scale. Usually only a few
house lots in size or smaller, pocket parks can
be tucked into and scattered throughout the
urban fabric where they serve the immediate
local population. These parks act as scaled-down
neighborhood parks and often offer a variety
of amenities including turf, planters, walkways,
plazas, play areas for children, exercise equipment,
and picnic facilities. Pocket Parks do not provide
restroom facilities or on-site parking. Pocket Parks
generally fall into one of three categories:
• Downtown destination parks which are
signature parks of interest to the broad
community
• Downtown parks where neighborhood
involvement in activities and
programming is most appropriate
• Small public spaces or beauty spots
which are small islands within the urban
environment and present opportunities
to enhance the City’s character and
identity.
COMMUNITY PARK
Community parks meet the recreational needs of
several neighborhoods and may also preserve
unique landscapes and open spaces. These parks
serve multiple uses and provide recreational
facilities and accommodate group activities not
provided for in neighborhood parks. Community
park sites should be accessible by arterial and/or
collector streets. Geographic range of users is up
to 3 miles or City-wide if park contains a recreation
complex.
SPECIAL-USE FACILITY
This category refers to stand-alone parks that are
designed to serve one particular use, such as a
sports facility, skate park, or regional trail. These
parks may serve a second or third use, but the
primary use is prioritized with regard to design,
maintenance, and funding decisions.
Linear Park—typically a long, narrow greenbelt
along a public right-of-way or internally within
or between lots of a residential neighborhood,
these open spaces provide visual relief from
developed land areas. These parks usually contain
walking and bicycling trails, and can also include
small playgrounds or multi-use open turf areas.
Recreation uses can be limited due to the typical
narrow width of these spaces, but they can provide
variety and neighborhood gathering spaces that
embellish the overall park and open space system
of the city.

4.0 | NEEDS ASSESSMENT
JOINT-USE FACILITY
The last group of recreation lands requires
definition because the facilities in these sites are
included in the inventory, but the land is not owned
or controlled by the City. Joint-use Facilities
are parks that supplement community parks,
serving broader City-wide recreation needs,
and are commonly developed in conjunction with
school districts. The parks contain various assets,
often for active recreation, and are programmed
accordingly. Restroom facilities and parking are
generally provided for users. Geographic range of
users is City-wide.
4.3 EXISTING
CITY RECREATION
FACILITIES
Unique and diverse recreational opportunities
are available throughout Manteca in City-owned
and operated facilities. One can find trails,
community buildings, sports courts, fields, a
swimming pool, passive areas, playgrounds,
trail staging areas, a skate park, BMX track, tennis
facilities and much more. As a City that has
grown steadily over the past few decades, newer
developed areas have benefited from planning
efforts that reflect relatively current thinking about
neighborhood identity and local neighborhood
parks. This has led to an effective system
of diverse parks, strongly associated with
adjacent residential areas and important to overall
community identity. Additional neighborhood
parks are planned as part of future residential
developments.
Current breakdown of existing acreage for park
and recreation facilities is shown in the table on the
next page.

52 4.4 EXISTING AND
PLANNED TRAILS
The City of Manteca has acquired land and
developed a trail and bikeway network over the
course of many years. This includes Class I, II,
and III bikeways and the very popular Tidewater
Bikeway, a Class I facility.
The City’s General Plan identifies the desire to place
trails as multipurpose trails intended for the use
of equestrians, hikers, joggers, non-motorized
bikers, and commuters, as well as the casual
walker.
Specific policy states:
“Each neighborhood shall include an extensive
pedestrian and bikeway system comprised
of sidewalks and bike lanes along streets and
dedicated trails.”
The General Plan further identifies several policies
to promote bikeways and pedestrian facilities.
These include:
• “Through regular updates to the City’s Bicycle
Master Plan, the City shall establish a safe and
convenient network of identified bicycle routes
connecting residential areas with recreation,
shopping, and employment areas within the
City. The City shall also strive to develop
connections with existing and planned regional
routes shown in the San Joaquin County Bicycle
Master Plan.”
• ”Provide adequate bicycle parking facilities at
commercial, business/professional and light
industrial uses.”
• “The City shall strive to expand the existing
network of off-street bicycle facilities as
shown in the City’s Bicycle Master Plan to
accommodate cyclists who prefer to travel on
dedicated trails. Further, the City shall strive
to develop a “city-loop” Class I bike path that
links Austin Road, Atherton Drive, Airport Way
and a route along or near Lathrop Road to the
Tidewater Bikeway and its extensions. The City
shall also strive to develop an off-street bicycle
trail extension between the Tidewater Bikeway
near the intersection of Moffat Boulevard and
Industrial Park Drive to the proposed regional
route between Manteca and Ripon.”
• “The City shall strive to provide on-street Class
II bike lanes along major collector and arterial
streets whenever feasible.”
• “Bicycle travel through residential streets shall
be facilitated as much as possible without the
use of Class II bike lanes. In general, residential
streets have sufficiently low volumes as to not
Class I provide a completely separated rightof-way designated for the exclusive use of bicycles and pedestrians with cross-flows
by motorists minimized (also referred to as
a Bike Path or Bike Trail in transportation
documents).
Class II provide a restricted right-of-way
designated for exclusive or semi-exclusive
use of bicycles with through travel by motor
vehicles or pedestrians prohibited, but
with vehicle parking and cross-flows by
pedestrians and motorists permitted (also
referred to as a Bike Lane).
Class III provide a right-of-way designated
by signs or permanent markings and shared
with pedestrians or motorists (also referred
to as a Bike Route).

require bike lanes and the narrower street cross
section will assist in calming traffic.”
• “The City shall extend the existing Class I
bicycle route north of Lathrop Road along the
former Tidewater Southern Railway right-ofway, and any branch or connecting link where right-of-way is available.”
Regional trails are defined as connecting parks
and providing linkages between open space areas
and regional recreation areas. Comparatively,
community trails create linkages similar to
regional trails, but are local-serving. Overall, the
development of regional and community trails also
supports connections to a larger network of hiking,
walking, and biking trails.
The City of Manteca features the flat topography
of the Central Valley. The City of Manteca Active
Transportation Plan, 2020, outlines a long-term
vision for the development of an extensive network
of bicycle facilities throughout the city. This plan
identified several levels of active transportation
facilities, from separated multi-use paths to onstreet bike routes. The adjacent Table 4-3 shows a summary of those facilities.

SCHOOL FACILITIES
The City of Manteca is served by Manteca Unified
School District. To minimize duplication and/or
competition, the City should continue to coordinate
with the school district and other public and nonprofit agencies to provide for the best use of public and private resources to meet recreation demands.
Currently the City has in place a Joint-Use
Agreement with the Manteca Unified School
District (MUSD). The City and MUSD have in place
joint-use agreements for many facilities at MUSD
school sites, such as the pools at Manteca High
School, East Union High School, and Sierra High
School. Additionally, the two agencies provide
“quid pro quo” resources and facilities for softball,
tennis, park use, golf, and basketball gym use.
In general, the City has developed partnerships
with the school district for joint utilization of public facilities for public benefits. The decision-makers
and staff from the two organizations should
continue to meet to ensure that the agreements
in place are meeting the changing needs and
demands of the community.
In most cases, school sites are mostly open to
the public, and community members frequently
utilize the properties after hours. These school
sites provide important recreational value to the
community, and thus need to be accounted for in
the facility assessment. However, because they
are not owned or operated by the City, they are
counted as a fraction of a facility.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS
As a part of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan
Update effort, the City and LPA developed a robust
community engagement and consensus strategy to
elicit feedback from a wide range of constituents.
With the City’s assistance, LPA conducted:
• (3) Focus Groups
• (3) Community Workshops
• Sports Organization Questionnaires
This phased outreach strategy garnered important
qualitative and quantitative data from a diverse
stakeholder group in order to gain consensus
about the condition of the current park system and
recreation programs, their usage, and potential
future community recreation needs.
The Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update
planning process began in mid-2024. LPA was
engaged to help facilitate stakeholder input to
determine the specific needs of the community.
This public process was to gather community input;
the decision-making and allocation of funds for
future projects would occur at a later date.
A more detailed summary for each method of
outreach follows in the next sections. Full copies of
the feedback data can be found in Appendix A.
4.6 RECREATION
FACILITY NEEDS
ASSESSMENT
The purpose of the Recreation Facility Needs
Assessment is to identify the current and future
recreation facility needs within Manteca, to identify
recreation demand that is unmet, and to suggest
the relative priority of each identified need. Needs
were identified and prioritized by engaging the
community in a series of community outreach
forums and other needs-identification tools
listed below, from professional staff input, and
through analysis of City use data. The process
involved gathering both qualitative input (focus
groups, workshops, and sports organization
questionnaires) and quantitative input (facility
demand analysis). Qualitative input is the voice
of the responding community members and
quantitative input provides statistically valid
information. Using only qualitative feedback
as a basis for the number, type, and location of
recreation facilities ignores the fact that such
feedback may not be representative of the entire
community and also may not quantify facility needs
beyond “more.” Each needs identification tool
and each bit of information gathered is a piece of
the recreation puzzle leading to a more thorough
understanding of the community. All of the pieces,
taken together, provide an overall picture of
recreation facility needs specific to Manteca now
and in the future.
ATTACHMENT 2
56 FOCUS GROUPS
Focus Groups were conducted in September
of 2024 with multiple sessions to engage
stakeholders, staff, community leaders, adults and
seniors in the interactive planning process. Focus
groups provided effective interaction with specific
population groups in more detail than is possible
in a large group or one-on-one setting. These
groups included representatives from City staff,
public agencies, non-profit community agencies,
business leaders, special interest groups, and
others. LPA facilitated three (3) focus groups to
elicit comments from the participants to identify
issues, concerns, and current or emerging facility or
program needs. The following three Focus Groups
were conducted:
The consensus summary of the most commonly
repeated needs, comments, and concerns from the
summary of the Focus Group meetings follows:
TOP FOCUS GROUP NEEDS
• Funding for new facilities
• Maintain what we already have
• More outdoor gathering spaces and
amphitheaters
• Space for performing/creative arts

SPORTS ORGANIZATION QUESTIONNAIRE
To supplement the information regarding
participation in organized sports that was
obtained from the third Focus Group, a
questionnaire was designed and distributed
to the organized sports organizations that
use City sports facilities that are rentable or
available for reservation.
This survey obtained information regarding the
number of players and teams in the league or
sports organization, age ranges of the players,
during which seasons they play, whether
they travel outside Manteca to play, whether
they participate in tournaments, ratings of
field/facility maintenance and scheduling,
projections of growth, and facilities for which
they have the greatest need both now and in
the future. Detailed information was requested
for each division in the group regarding the number
of players, the size of facility required, and the time and place of all games and practices.
The survey was distributed by City staff and
three (3) sports organizations responded to the
questionnaire.
Additional qualitative information regarding
respondents’ ratings and comments on facility
maintenance and scheduling, assessment of
usage fees, the perceived needs for additional
facilities currently and in the future, and desired
enhancements in future facilities was collected on
the questionnaire. These responses were used to
better understand the usage patterns and needs of
the active sports groups.

58 4.7 COMMUNITY
WORKSHOPS
A vital part of the Parks and Recreation Master
Plan process is the period of public workshops,
which invite community members and
stakeholders to the planning table. Workshops
were facilitated by the consultant team and driven
by the participants and City staff. The goals of
the workshops were three-fold: 1) To provide
opportunities for the community to participate,
share issues and concerns, and learn about
the Master Plan Update process, 2) To foster
synergistic public dialogue regarding needs,
solutions, and vision, and 3) To create a pathway
for the community to author recommendations
regarding priorities, through consensus-building
and community support development.
An inventory of all existing park facilities at the
start of each workshop helped frame the current
needs, while a peek at population trends in the
next decades prompted input and discussion
around Manteca’s future. The workshop process
clarified and augmented the identified desires of
the community developed through other public
planning methods. And most importantly, the
process was structured to arrive at consensus
regarding the priorities perceived by the public
for improvements to the recreation programs,
trails and facilities system.
Each of the three workshops described in the
following pages was an up-to-3-hour session for
all the participants. City staff heavily promoted
and advertised the workshops, which were held in
meeting rooms of the Senior Center.
Despite it being in the
Valley and being hot,
people want to be outside.
They want places to go.

The first community workshop was envisioned
to present the Master Plan process and to focus
on what the public sees as community recreation
characteristics, issues, and current opportunities
and constraints.
The residents were organized into small groups
and first asked to answer certain question prompts
individually and then to discuss their answers
as a group. Each group was then asked to pick
their top answers to each question. Top answers
were reported to the rest of the workshop, where
common answers could be recorded. Through
this process, the most common opinions could be
identified and consensus built.

4.8 ACREAGE
ANALYSIS
The City strives to provide a minimum of five acres
of park space per thousand residents. To ensure a
balanced distribution of park amenities and to meet
varying recreational needs, Manteca has set a goal
to break down that 5 acres/1,000 residents into a
mix of community, neighborhood and special-use
parks.
The City currently has 451.23 acres of 455.28 acres
required to meet that goal, or 99% of the standard.
Distribution of the parkland includes 274.63 acres
of neighborhood parks, 84.79 acres of community
parks, and 91.81 acres of special-use parks.
This represents a current deficit of 6.3 acres of
community parks. Special-use parks exceed the
standard by 0.8 acres and neighborhood parks
exceed by 1.5 acres.
TABLE 4-4
*2040 population estimate based on the 2023 Manteca General Plan.
Estimated park acreage by 2040 includes all parks currently in planning, as listed in Table 4-5.

It’s important to note that despite the recreational
value they provide, school grounds and private
park sites are not credited in the acreage totals
of this Master Plan, and neither are facilities and
populations outside the City area.
Over the next 15 years, the city is anticipating to
grow by over 200% and park development will
need to grow commensurate to the population.

RESULTS
OUTREACH INPUT TOOLS
The Community Engagement process outlined in
the previous section was a multiple-month process
of data-collection and consensus-building. The
focus group interviews and community workshops
provided valuable qualitative data about the
current condition of Manteca’s parks, current
facility needs, and projected deficiencies. The
workshops also allowed for consensus-building
among the community to find top areas of focus for
the City.
Analysis of this data provide the foundation for
the current and projected parks and recreational
needs of the City. To derive the top needs, a matrix
was developed that identified each of the park
programs, amenities, and facility needs and which
input tools stated they were priorities. These needs
may include specific facilities, such as pickleball
courts or an aquatics center, or programmatic
needs, such as youth programs or improved
maintenance and operations. The matrix to the

RECREATION
FACILITY NEEDS
The demand for certain recreation facilities is
calculated based upon recommended ratios
from the 2016 Master Plan, supplemented with
nationally recommended ratios from the National
Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA). The
facility demand for each of the selected activities
is also determined based upon current and future
population figures. The total facility demand is
compared to the existing facility inventory, which
results in a surplus or deficit.
Of the fifteen activities surveyed, eight were
identified as meeting needs or having a current
surplus of facilities. The remainder show modest
current deficits, as seen in table 4-7. Similar
calculations were carried out to determine the
demand levels at build-out of the City, when the
City will reach a projected population of 206,882.
Unless facilities are added, deficits will increase as
the population grows to ultimate build-out.

4.0 | NEEDS ASSESSMENT
TOP RECREATION
PRIORITIES
1. GYMNASIUM / MULTI-USE
RECREATION CENTER
The highest recreational priority within the City is
the need for an indoor recreation facility. Multi-use
recreation facilities appeal to a broad audience, as
they can service youth, adult, and senior programs
as well as sport programs like basketball and
volleyball.
2. SWIMMING/AQUATICS CENTER
Manteca’s current aquatics center is undersized,
outdated and does not meet all the needs of
the community. There is need for a competitive
aquatics center that can support recreational and
sport programs, especially water polo.
3. MAINTAIN EXISTING PARKS
Maintaining the status quo and ensuring the City’s
current facilities are safe and functional was a top
priority recognized by the community. Fixing or
adding security lighting may help some parks.
4. PICKLEBALL
Manteca’s current pickleball courts are very popular
and there is clear need for additional courts to
meet current and rising demand. Adding lighted
courts around the City will help meet the demand
of one of the U.S.’s fastest growing sports.
5. MORE FUNDING
The community recognized a need to scale up
funding for park facilities and recreation programs,
in order to maximize what the City already has.
6. TENNIS
Tennis remains a popular sport in Manteca, and
there is need for several additional lighted courts.
A facility large enough to host competitions can
also help drive revenue within the City.
7. AMPHITHEATERS
A venue for outdoor performances, concerts,
and live events can bring incredible value to a
community. The City operates one amphitheater,
which is not sufficient or flexible enough for the
community’s needs.
8. BETTER CITY COMMUNICATION
The City may get better participation in
recreational facilities and programs if the
community knew about all the opportunities the
City currently offers. Improving communication
strategies to advertise these programs can go a
long way in the recreational offerings of the City.
9. CITY PROGRAMS FOR YOUTHS
AND SENIORS
Multi-generational centers and programs are
incredible valuable to the community. Afterschool and summer programs for youth are effective at engaging young people with the
community. Seniors are one of the largest-growing
demographics in the community. While the City
currently operates one Senior Center, it does not
meet the needs of the community. A new Senior
Center and programming are desired.
10. ROLLER ARENA + SKATE PARK
The City lacks an appropriate place for outdoor
rollerskating. A large, covered arena can be a
flexible outdoor space for a variety of events,
including rollerskating. Additionally, there is need
for a new skate park. The City’s current skate park
is undersized and outdated.

PROJECTED NEEDS
The City of Manteca is projected to grow nearly
227% by the year 2040, to a population of 206,882
residents. In order to meet the goal of five acres
of parkland for every 1,000 residents, this will
require the dedication of additional parkland as
development occurs. Currently, Manteca is slightly
under the goal, with only 5.7 additional acres
needed to serve its current population of 91,055.
Several parks are in development that will bridge
that gap to meet the goal.
By 2040, Manteca will require an additional 579
acres of parks, for a total of 1,034 acres. There are
several developments planned around the City
that will bring additional neighborhood parks, but
additional community and special-use parks will
need to be added by the City in order to meet
demand. The City currently has plans for a new
roughly 80-acre community park and several
special-use facilities such as an aquatics center
that will help meet demand. Those facilities are
discussed in the next section of this document.
Development of additional parks will ultimately
entail an in-depth stakeholder process to determine
specific programmatic elements on a project-byproject basis, but by establishing participation rate standards, the City can set minimum standards
for Level of Service (LOS). By extrapolating
current participation rates across projected growth
patterns, we can determine how many additional
facilities, programs, and amenities of each type will
be required to meet the needs of the community.
Community engagement found that swimming,
pickleball, and tennis are highly popular activities.
The data also showed that though less widely
participated in, roller sports had a high demand for
new facilities. Youth and senior classes also show
as an area of need.

5.1 RECOMMENDATIONS
OVERVIEW
This section identifies potential opportunities to
meet the park and recreation needs identified
in the Needs Assessment (Section 4) of this
Master Plan. These recommendations represent
the findings and opinions/suggestions of the
consultant and are not approved actions that the
City is obligated to pursue or complete.
The adoption of the Master Plan and updated
Fee Study does not obligate the City of Manteca
to a specific annual funding commitment for
implementing the recommendations outlined
in the documents. The Master Plan is expected
to be implemented over several years. Once
adopted, updated Park Fees will be collected
from new developments to support planning for
project implementation. This process may involve
additional feasibility studies for specific projects.
Planning efforts will be addressed through the
annual Capital Improvement Plan process. Potential
funding sources could include partnerships,
general or special taxes, special assessments,
bonds, grants, operational revenue, and other
methods.
To meet demand as the City grows, new facilities
could be added at existing parks, currently planned
parks, future unplanned areas, or new properties
acquired for such purposes. This allows the City
a variety of means for meeting the recreation
needs of the community. Each facility and project
would need to be evaluated on a case-by-case
basis, through an extensive community process, to
determine the how the facility can best meet and
reflect the needs of the community. This Master
Plan strives to identify opportunities to consider
for the development of future parks and facilities
to meet identified current and future recreation
needs.
Proposed recommendations are evaluated
and selected through the City’s annual Capital
Improvement Project (CIP) budget and
prioritization processes, which are subject to
available funding. Once a project is selected,
it follows a structured pathway that includes
community to determine the specific amenities
and design elements for each project.
OVERALL CONCEPT
The City of Manteca is projected to grow 227% by
the year 2040, to a population of over 200,000
residents. In order to meet the goal of five acres of
parkland for every 1,000 residents, this will require
the dedication and development of 585 acres of
additional parkland as development occurs.
Due to their specialized nature, the following
section only provides recommendations for several
• 131 new acres of community parks, 109
acres of special-use parkland, and 50
miles of new trails will be required to
meet the needs of Manteca’s growing
population by 2040.
• Park development is recommended over
three phases, from 1-5 years, 6-10 years,
and 11-15 years.
• Facility upgrades and expansions
are recommended at five existing
community or special-use parks.
• A new 80-acre community park is in
consideration to co-locate a variety of
new recreation facilities and open space,
along with a large, rentable, outdoor
event venue.
HIGHLIGHTS
ATTACHMENT 2
74 community and special-use parks that will help
meet the projected needs. Additional community
or special-use parks may be needed to maintain the
City’s goal of one acre of each park type for each
1,000 residents. It is important to note additional
neighborhood parks will also need to be dedicated
to keep pace with residential development.
The City has clear guidelines to help with the
development of neighborhood parks on a case-bycase basis. To meet the needs of the community, neighborhood parks should be developed at a
scale to maintain three acres of parkland per 1,000
residents.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
• The City should pursue opportunities to
acquire new lands for the dedication of
community and special-use parks.
• Parks should be planned and distributed
throughout the City to provide equitable
access to park and recreational facilities for
residents.
• Increased trail connectivity and
opportunities should be emphasized,
focusing on corridors and links to adjacent
natural open space, parks, schools,
neighborhoods, and commercial areas.
• New residential development could be
planned to include parks and recreation
facilities that adequately serve the planned
population and complement and enhance
the City park system as a whole.
• Continue to provide parkland acreage
quantities consistent with the City’s overall
standard of five acres per 1,000 residents
broken down into each of the three
categories:
Neighborhood Parks (3 acres per 1,000
pop.)
Community Parks (1 acres per 1,000
pop.)
Special-use Parks (1 acres per 1,000
pop.), with appropriate distribution
throughout the community.

meet the demand of the community. Conversely,
the park’s softball field is under-utilized. It is
recommended that the park be renovated in
two phases. The first phase would replace the
softball field with new lighted pickleball courts and
associated parking. Phase two should, once the
new aquatics center is built, seek to fully renovate
and rebuild the aquatics program. This would
include a new competition pool, new recreational
pool, pool building, and pool deck and lawn area.

to be considered. The open space at Spreckels
Park could be one location for a new skate park.
The size and location of the new skate park would
be contingent on the ability to resize the existing
drainage basin, which serves the region. Recent
stormwater-management projects in the area may
reduce the need for this basin, allowing for a new

NEW COMMUNITY PARK
SITE NOT YET ESTABLISHED
EST. SIZE: 80 acres
The addition of new park sites and parkland will be
necessary as the City grows, especially Community
Parks, which are currently under the desired level of
service. The City is considering acquiring land for a
new Community Park in the northern region of the
City, which could range from 50 to 80 acres in size.
This new community park would aim to create
several amenities for the community that will
support local and regional events, recreation, and
possibly generate revenue.
A large portion of the park would be programmed
for a new lighted soccer facility large enough to
host local and regional soccer tournaments. The
fields will be a mix of natural and synthetic turf
fields to ensure all weather functionality. The
natural turf soccer fields will also need to be
designed to accommodate a regional drainage
basin.
An outdoor event space and amphitheater would
also be part of the park. The amphitheater will
include seating for community-scale events,
lighting, and sound, with an adjacent open space
large enough for regional events of 20,000 people.
This event lawn would be flanked by an arboretum
and open space.
This park would also include a 4-court indoor gym,
several playgrounds and picnic facilities, restrooms,
outdoor fitness equipment, hardcourts for tennis,
trails, and parking for 1,000 cars.

ADDITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD
PARKS
In order to meet a ratio of three acres of
neighborhood park per 1,000 residents, 344.3
acres of additional neighborhood park(s) will be
required by 2040. 100.5 of these acres can be met
by currently planned parks and subdivisions, while
the remaining 243.8 acres must be accounted
for by build-out. The pace of neighborhood park
development should match development pace of

ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY &
SPECIAL-USE PARKS
While this plan identifies a new 80-acre park and
several special-use facilities such as the Performing
Arts Center or Senior Center, some additional
acreage of each park type will be required to
meet the needs of the community. Approximately
50 acres of community parks will be needed,
and 92 acres of special-use parks. The following
recommended facilities will offer an estimated total
25 acres of special-use parkland. This estimate is
based on spatial requirements while the actual
properties acquired for each facility may vary.
A robust outreach program will be required to
determine the specific amenities and purposes of
each new facility.
NATURE-BASED PARK
EST. SIZE: 8 acres
Pursuant to General Plan Goal CF-4.7, priority
should be given to the development of a new
nature-based community park. This park can be
developed as part of a conservation program for
natural resource lands, and should provide unique
opportunities for nature-based activities such as
hiking, fishing, or wildlife viewing.

STRATEGIES
ROUGH ORDER OF MAGNITUDE
ESTIMATE COST AND PHASING
In addition to assessing the current and future
recreational needs of the community, a parks
master plan should identify and plan for the
potential cost of implementing the plan. This
allows the City to seek funding opportunities to
meet specific needs and to respond to available
budget and economic pressures. A phased
approach is critical to implementation, to reduce
burden on the City and to create a long term vision
that prioritizes development in order to meet the
needs of the community.
The following section will look at construction
estimates of probable costs for the park facilities
identified in the previous sections. Project
estimates are general in nature and developed
to show estimated potential costs and/or
range of costs. Costs should be considered as
approximations of individual facilities and used
for budgetary purposes. Actual project costs
will depend on design, size of facility, additional
support facilities, utilities, infrastructure, and
environmental conditions, as well as site-specific
conditions which require additional study and have
not been evaluated by this Master Plan.
The following phasing plan is only recommended if
financial resources are available. Implementation
of park facilities can be re-ordered as priorities of
the community change. To assess exact needs of
the community, a robust community input process
should be completed on a project-by-project basis.
In addition to the specific facilities mentioned in
subsequent paragraphs, each phase will need
to acquire and develop additional parkland for
each park. For estimation purposes, a rough cost
per acre has been developed to account for the
cost to acquire, design, and construct, in 2025
dollars, the generic acres of parkland. The cost
of neighborhood parkland acquisition can usually
be shared with home developers through in-lieuof-fee mechanisms, and therefore only the cost of the design and construction for neighborhood
parks is included. These parks have less intensive
recreational requirements, which cost less to build.
Therefore, neighborhood parks are calculated at
$800,000/acre.
Community and special-use parks require more
intensive and specialized facilities, and thus have an
elevated cost per acre, at $1.25M/acre.
The cost estimate that follows includes all hard
costs (construction) as well as soft costs (design,
engineering, construction management and
permitting costs) and land acquisition costs that are
eligible under the AB 1600 and AB 602 legislation
that provides the legal justification for Developer
Impact Fees.

5.0 | FUNDING AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
PHASE 1
1-5 YEARS
The first phase of development for parks and
recreation facilities as identified in the 2025 Master
Plan Update is planned to occur over the first five
years, by the year 2030. Phase 1 should address
some of the highest recreational needs identified
in previous sections of this document. These
most notably represent immediate needs/lack of
facilities identified in the Needs Assessment, as
in the case of pickleball, skate park, and soccer
fields. The first phase of development within
the 80-acre community park will occur, adding
an amphitheater, outdoor event venue, and new
soccer fields. Section 5 contains more in-depth
descriptions of the specific recommendations for
each park facility. Table 6-1 includes a breakdown
of estimated costs per phase and facility.
SPECIFIC FACILITY COSTS: $178,875,516
ADD’L PARK DEVELOPMENT COST: $149,500,000
TOTAL PHASE 1 COST: $328,375,516
PHASE 2
6-10 YEARS
The second phase will continue to develop the
80-acre community park, add new aquatics and
performing arts centers, and add additional tennis
courts to Woodward Park. Phase 2 for the 80-acre
community park would include the development of
a 4-court indoor gym. The aquatics center should
support both recreational and competitive swim
and include a 50 meter pool, a recreational pool,
and new locker/pool building. The performing arts
building should also include a library component
to serve as a community hub for visual and
performing arts. The City should also continue to
develop additional neighborhood, community, and
special-use parks as required to keep pace with
development.
SPECIFIC FACILITY COSTS: $217,748,426
ADD’L PARK DEVELOPMENT COST: $149,500,000
TOTAL PHASE 2 COST: $367,248,426
ATTACHMENT 2
96 PHASE 3
11-15 YEARS
The third and final phase of development will
complete the 80-acre community park, adding
trails, parking, open space and outdoor basketball
courts. Phase 3 should also look to convert underutilized existing facilities into more functional amenities for the community. Morenzone Field
should be converted from a softball field into a
wedding and event venue with new building and
gardens. The existing aquatics center at Marion
Elliott Park should also be renovated to provide
state-of-the-art swim facilities for the community.
This shall include new lap swim pool and associated
lawn area, new recreational swim pool, and a new
pool/locker building. As with each previous phase,
the city should continue to add parks as necessary
to match growth patterns.
SPECIFIC FACILITY COSTS: $85,444,583
ADD’L PARK DEVELOPMENT COST: $149,500,000
TOTAL PHASE 3 COST: $234,944,583
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND
LAND-ACQUISITION COSTS
Capital cost estimates have been generated to
indicate the value of new park acquisition and
development needed to meet existing deficiencies
and future needs, and are included in Appendix
B. The figures in Table 4.4 represent the current
deficiencies based upon the recommended park
development shown in the Needs Assessment
and the Goals, Policies and Actions Sections, and
indicate impacts that new development will create
in the City as new residents move into the area and
impact recreation utilization.
Please refer to Section 3 of the Park Development
Impact Fee Nexus Study prepared in conjunction
with the Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update
for expanded discussion of park acquisition
and development fees, and the impacts new
development will create.

6.2 PARK IMPACT
FEE NEXUS STUDY
OVERVIEW
The City currently collects park impact fees on
new residential development. Additional parks
and recreation facilities are required to serve
the residents as development occurs within the
City. Park impact fees fund the one-time cost
of expanding the City’s parks and recreational
facilities in order to meet the impact of new
development.
The City’s Park Development Impact Fee Nexus
Study Report (adopted by City Council in 2019)
provides the legal and policy basis for the current
impact fee structure. Currently, the City’s park fee
includes community parks, special-use parks, the
aquatic center, a gymnasium, and the City’s cost
to administer the program. It also includes the
cost for land acquisition. Each developer is also
currently required to continue to build and dedicate
their neighborhood park facilities to meet the
requirement of three acres per 1,000 residents.
Concurrent with this 2025 Master Plan Update the
City hired Harris Associates to provide a new Park
Development Impact Fee Nexus Study to establish
new legal and policy basis for setting new park
impact fees. State law (AB 1600) requires certain
criteria be met in order to impose park impact fees.
Furthermore, additional legislation has been
passed in recent years in an attempt to increase
transparency and alleviate the housing crisis
that California is experiencing. One of the most
significant changes is the passing of AB 602, which
was enacted by the State of California in 2021. AB
602 set a number of new requirements, including
the requirement that agencies adopt a Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) along with their
nexus studies and that fees on residential units be
collected on a per-square-footage basis unless the
agency provides adequate justification as to why
ATTACHMENT 2
98 collecting fees on a square footage basis is not
appropriate for their jurisdiction.
Therefore, the Park Development Impact Fee
Nexus Study has to demonstrate a reasonable
relationship between new development and the
need for new parks and recreational facilities as
a result of that development. The fee cannot be
used to address deficiencies or maintenance to
existing public facilities, only new facilities. Table
6-2 lists projects that will be excluded from the
Park Development Fee Nexus Study because
they do not meet the requirements listed above.
Subtracting these project costs from the total
construction costs of the master plan offers an
adjusted construction cost for use in the fee
calculations.
The Park Development Impact Fee Nexus Study
includes the analysis of the need for additional
parkland and facilities to accommodate new
development in the City and the fees that
are necessary in order to ensure that new
development provides adequate funding to meet
increased park needs. The Park Development
Impact Fee Nexus Study uses the Existing
Inventory Method methodology for calculating
the fee. As stated in the “Impact Fee Nexus Study
Template” prepared for the California Department
of Housing and Community Development by Terner
Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley, with
the Existing Inventory Method “New development
will fund the expansion of facilities at the same standard as currently used to service existing development.” The fee is calculated based on a per capita basis, based on the existing improvements, to establish the existing level of service per capita. This figure can then be used to
calculate impacts on the parks and recreation system.
The levels of service (LOS) per capita are determined by dividing existing total area of a park or facility into the population. The City’s existing level of service is 4.94 acres of improved parks.
Costs can then be determined using the estimated
construction cost for a development project (new park
or facility) and the LOS.
