The following is a written response to the question on Item 5.M regarding the playground elements of play (i.e. climbing) in the half-acre Mini Parl< in Tasman East Specific Plan to be located at 5150 Calle Del Sol and 2350 Calle De Luna by Related. it can be post agenda material for future reference.
The City's Paris &Recreation Department wori<s with residential developers' park landscape architects to assure both creativity and compliance with our established research based best practices and park design principles. This particular Mini Parl<'s 8,194 square foot playground was reviewed through our established community input and Commission review/recommendation process. The community survey had 182 participants with over 7.5 hours of input, and Paris & Recreation Commission had two reviews and made a recommendation for approval.
W ith regard to inclusion of climbing apparatus, the developer delivered a presentation at the November' 16, 2021 Parl<s & Recreation Commission (PRC) meeting, available as an attachment to the PRC agenda report #21-1580 in Legistar (https~//santaclara le~istar com/View ashx?M=F&ID=9959546&GUID=D90B6119-4862-4C2E-81E0-065A07286A53). The Parl< Playground matrix included in the presentation shows that all elements of play are included at the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels for ages 2-5 and 6-12. The playground, as designed, supports a maximum capacity of 71 persons. The elements of play include: balancing, sliding, brachiating, spinning, swinging, running/free play, and climbing. The Department will ensure that a diverse and varied program of play elements is included and disbursed throughout the network of parks in the Tasman East Specific Plan, Perhaps a rope climbing apparatus may be included elsewhere.
Thank for the question and opportunity for clarification.
