SENIOR ADVISORY COMMISSION 3.2
STAFF REPORT
TO: Senior Advisory Commission March 5, 2025
SUBJECT: Approve funding for Age-Friendly Roadmap Implementation, Adult
Exercise Equipment at Diablo Vista Park for CIP B-560
BACKGROUND
The Town’s Senior Advisory Commission (Commission) was established in July 2019 to
advise the Town Council on supporting older residents and making Danville an age-
friendly city. This led to the development of the “Age-Friendly Roadmap.”
On February 15, 2022, the Town Council approved the Commission’s recommendation
to adopt the Roadmap and allocated $500,000 for its implementation.
On April 24, 2024, the Commission reviewed potential age-friendliness enhancements
using the allocated funds, including improvements to the Diablo Vista Park playground
and wayfinding signage to the Senior Center, which could have an immediate impact.
On July 24, 2024, the Commission approved funding for the signage but postponed a
decision on fitness equipment until they could review images and updated costs.
DISCUSSION
The fitness equipment for the Diablo Vista Park playground renovation, CIP B-560 was
included in the design; however, based on the project budget, it was designated as an “ad
alternate” piece of equipment, meaning that it would only be installed if additional
funding became available. As the inclusion of fitness equipment within the Town was a
goal of the Commission through the Roadmap, this opportunity would come to fruition
as it would be a part of an existing project if approved to be funded by the Commission.
The fitness area at Diablo Vista Park would consist of three pieces of equipment: a three-
person static combo unit, an elliptical cross trainer, and a shoulder wheel stretching
station. The area would also have a customizable sign that could include verbiage
indicating the equipment's age-friendliness. This exercise equipment would be located
near the playground and available when the park is open.
The following examples depict the look of the adult fitness equipment for Diablo Vista
Park, which is expected to cost $95,000 (including a 10% contingency).

FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funding would be available for the Age-Friendly Roadmap implementation
project through the previously allocated funding to cover the $95,000 needed to include
the fitness equipment in the Diablo Vista Park renovation project.
