STAFF REPORT
5.1
TO: Parks, Recreation and Arts Commission December 14, 2022
SUBJECT: Diablo Vista Park Renovation Update
BACKGROUND
Play area renovations are a routine part of the Town’s 5-Year Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) efforts. As playgrounds age, the equipment requires
replacement every 15 to 20 years, essentially establishing a rotation replacement
program. The next in the playground rotation is Diablo Vista Park.
Diablo Vista Park is a 20-acre community park located at the c corner of Crow
Canyon and Tassajara Ranch roads (1,000 Tassajara Ranch Drive). This park serves
community-level interests, providing night-lighted soccer and baseball fields,
tennis courts, basketball, children’s play area, and family and group picnic sites.
Unique to this renovation is the addition of a multi-sport skate feature, a direct
outcome of the 2017 Parks, Recreation, and Arts Strategic Plan that looked at a
broad spectrum of community needs. The chosen park location is the result of a
feasibility analysis and extensive feedback from Danville residents and facility
users during a public process that spanned over two years, from late 2017 to late
2019.
DISCUSSION
The Diablo Vista Park Renovation Project will be designed to create a unique
space, providing a harmonious design that encompasses both uses, safe and fun.
In general, this project involves two integrated components:
1. Renovation of the existing children’s play areas; and
2. Incorporation of a multi-sport skate park, adjacent to the park's play areas along
the eastern (creek-facing) edge.
At its completion, the integrated recreational space will be able to accommodate a
wide range of ages, abilities, and unstructured play. The overarching goal is to
create a public use for essential community connection and interaction.
RECOMMENDATION
