Citywide Parks and Recreation System Master Plan Update Gail Seeds provided the update for the Master Plan to the Commission, highlighting the geographic studies and results. Reviewed the goal of having a park within a half mile walk for all homes in Cupertino. Requested feedback from the Commission on the current definition of a “neighborhood park”. Discussion followed. The Commission advised that the definition should be broadened. Also suggested adding in regional parks, county parks, open spaces, and the schools to the maps. Director Jeff Milkes advised that this study was looking at a conservative approach, in that the school usages were based on current agreements and may change in the future. Commissioner Stanek asked to overaly the bike map plan to further display the connectivity between the parks and highlight areas to alleviate congestion. The Commission also suggested to host a joint meeting with the Bicycle Pedestrian Commission to discuss and improve the maps overall. Gail asked if the “within a half mile” goal was sufficient. The Commission agreed it was, but requested to integrate connectivity, and access points into the maps as well. Vice Chair Tambe asked to include parking impacts for potential park spaces. Chair Davis asked to add in the size and usages of the pools. Gail asked for clarification of what a “neighborhood park” should be defined as, what threshold it would need to have to meet the goal of the Master Plan. The Commission suggested to broaden the definition to a place where people can gather, to give it a lot of flexibility because different people have different needs and wants from a “neighborhood park”. 4. 2016-2017 Commission Work Plan Chair Davis brought up a possible date of Wednesday, August 23rd, for a special meeting to discuss the 2017-2018 Work Plan.

Background A planning process for Cupertino’s citywide parks, open space and recreation system is in progress. In April, the Commission and public provided feedback on a draft park classification system, a map of parks and recreation facilities, an inventory matrix, and observations about our parks and recreation system. In June, the Commission and public provided feedback on an Existing Parks and Facilities Summary report, a draft community-wide survey summary report regarding results of the 2016 citywide survey, a draft Community Outreach and Vision Summary report, and an overview presentation. In August, the Commission provided feedback on a Geographic Analysis including maps relating to the city’s parks and recreation system, as well on facilities which serve neighborhood needs. Discussion The community was invited to participate in a survey this summer that solicited feedback on language and concepts related to the vision and goals for the Master Plan. The consultant has evaluated input from the community and the survey results. Attachment A presents a draft vision, mission and goals that reflect the community’s desired outcomes for the Master Plan. It also includes all of the survey results in its appendices. The Commission and community are invited to weigh in on the draft vision, mission and goals. Building upon the Geographic Analysis presented in June, the consultant has developed a preliminary evaluation of potential opportunities to enhance the city’s parks and recreation system. Attachment B includes the Preliminary Opportunities Analysis and provides associated maps and references. The Commission and community are invited to provide input on the preliminary analysis. There will be particular focus on several key topics identified at the end of the narrative. The master planning process will lead to a list of potential capital improvements for the parks and recreation system. Draft Prioritization Criteria are presented for discussion (see Attachment C). The draft criteria draw upon input to date and the draft goals. Input by the public and the Commission is invited. Fiscal Impact None. ____________________________________ Prepared by: Gail Seeds, Park Improvement Manager Reviewed by: N/A Approved by: Jeff Milkes, Director of Recreation & Community Services Attachment A: Vision, Mission & Goals, Draft, August 2017.

OTHER RESPONSES: HOW SHOULD NATURE BE INCORPORATED IN CUPERTINO PARKS AND RECREATION?  Keep natural areas Natural  stop housing development and save space for nature, i.e. parks, trails, etc.  Places to meditate with flowers and shade  Outdoor sports access  Add/Improve parks in East Cupertino, to off-set the City Council 's urbanization of East Cupertino.  Bring back the water fountain in Memorial Park  MANY parklets!  Plant for sustainability and educate about sustainability  provide more places for dogs  Turn on the water at the Memorial Park!  Bring natural elements into all our neighborhood parks (nature play instead of play structures, distributed community gardens, more natural areas to play and congregate in)  more shade trees everywhere  Trees in parks  All of the above  access to creeks allowing people to get their toes wet  Keep it maintained  Parks not libel to be taken over for any other purpose  I see parks as places to explore  Work with Planning Commission to find development projects that showcase natural areas. For example, an opportunity was lost when Main Street buried Calabazas Creek.  keep trees that already support bird species  Add more parks and green space  I believe that McClellan Ranch and the trail meet the requirements for natural space. The parks need to be a place where people can go and meet and interact with their neighbors . It should have lots of trees, sitting areas, water fountains . I would like our parks to have free access. A few hours in the morning and evening for dogs to interact with other dogs and owners.  Just make them beautiful from afar and accommodating within.  Athletic fields  grass and trees, but NOT a park on a roof  rest rooms at every park B-2 | Parks & Recreation System Master Plan Appendix B: Open-Ended Responses  Within a golf course!  all of the above, except last  leave as is  trails alongside creeks  Need a world class swimming pool. Please.  trees and flowers make people smile  take out poison oak OTHER RESPONSES: HOW SHOULD CUPERTINO SUPPORT A VARIETY OF RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES?  install turf field that all can come to play  Provide a par course with different levels of fitness exercises for different age groups to be used any time  Add parcourse, jogging path  please do not add more sports fields, especially not artificial turf!  parks in eastside  make sure you are providing open space in all parts of cupertino  Organize outdoor painting competition for children of different age groups. Here is what I have in mind: A day will be set for the painting completion. It will happen in one of the large park lawns. Children will come with colored pencils, crayons. Blank sheets of drawing paper would be provided to the participants at the entry. They are asked to sit anywhere in the designated lawn area. The suiting areas are assigned with their respective age groups or grade level. Ten minutes before the start of the competition, a coordinators of each age group section will hand out the subject for the painting. There are two choices for subjects. The participant chooses what he/ she likes. There is a three hour time given. At the end of the three hours, participants need to stop. A bell will sound. The participant must put their name, grade and school name at the back of the painting. The coordinators will collect their work. There will be three prizes... the paintings could be displayed in the city offices. It could be done in during fall when the weather is pleasant. There will be need of Cupertino city volunteers for this activity. It could be a once a year planned activity on a weekend in fall.  Increase number of sports center classes  safe walking trails  Nature interpreters/educators  examples of native and drought tolerant plantings  provide walking paths of dirt, not rocks or pavement. Less impact on joints.  No opinion  provide a walkway, running track along railroad like City of Saratoga  More open space and not so much large blogs planned that will block our city  museum for local artists, like the Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara  Work on improving the management at the CRC and keeping excellent, long term instructors, improving pay and more timely pay increases.  Please build a world class swimming pool.  Build a rival to seven seas and magical bridges  provide "disconnected from world" (no gadgets) type reserved areas Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | B-3 Vision and Goals Questionnaire Summary OTHER RESPONSES: HOW SHOULD PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES REFLECT CUPERTINO'S UNIQUE CHARACTER AND IDENTITY?  integrate more natural areas, native plantings, protected wildlife habitat to demonstrate the community can co-exist with a thriving ecosystem  Less buildings, more parks in keeping with our orchard past  Add shades and tents so that kids don't get sunburned  Provide less density and provide more green space  most if not all our historical building are already gone and built over. We need more open space incorporated all over the city especially where you are over building  one park like Rose Garden  Innovative green spaces.  keep it maintained add character to parks and streets  Naturalistic water features are important! Find ways to include them without wasting water or attracting too many Canada Geese  Large grass fields  have taken most of our history for "progress" like Cali Mill what an eyesore  not many historic left, we built them out  Provide a pool, perhaps indoor, that's 85 degrees or more for seniors/others with arthritis and joint issues. Blackberry is too cold.  Quiet spaces  I don't know enough about local history to know whether incorporating it would be of interest/value.  Involve if new areas not existing  Need a world class swimming pool built. And or other sport activities center.  build world class indoor and outdoor swimming pools  Include some more tables etc. for meetings to be done outdoors, etc. OTHER RESPONSES: HOW SHOULD CUPERTINO'S CULTURAL DIVERSITY INFLUENCE PARKS AND RECREATION SERVICES?  Foster culture-bridging activities. E.g., if the City provides a Tai-Chi space, work with Tai-Chi practitioners to introduce Tai-Chi to the broader community. If the City provides a cricket pitch, work with the cricket clubs to provide opportunities for non-cricket players to know the sport. Otherwise, the culture-specific facilities segregate the community.  Provide classes to understand different cultures and languages  Lit courts for basketball, volleyball where anyone can join in and participate  Bring back Octoberfest  promote English language  A place where everyone feels welcome  we are very inclusive  Please encourage citizens to speak our native language as there are already too many ways native speakers are EXCLUDED!  include white people also  Stay traditionally American.  feel cupertino in very inclusive with other cultures  All cultural festivals, not just Asian  Cultural diversity is important, but so are age diversity, sexual orientation diversity, physical diversity and cognitive diversity B-4 | Parks & Recreation System Master Plan Appendix B: Open-Ended Responses  All people can enjoy nice parks.  I think we are very sensitive to diversity  I am against city enforced diversity. Leave it to people themselves.  we are pretty inclusive  make Memorial park better for public use & events by removing the water ponds & adding new features  Don't forget USA traditions  Human cultural diversity isn't the priority. Native healthy plantings with plant diversity aimed for the health of plants and the birds and other creatures who need the trees.  Inclusive to other cultures using the cultural interest spaces not take over an area because it was created with you in mind  create green space and all cultures will assimilate  No opinion  I strongly disagree in signs in other languages and in fact I find it a form of reverse racism and hostility towards American culture  should not influence it  Deaf services  Need to build a world class swimming pool and other activities center  Cupertino already has cultural programs  Bubble tea carts  We are pretty inclusive now  build an indoor and outdoor swimming pools OTHER RESPONSES: HOW SHOULD RECREATION ACCESS BE ENHANCED IN CUPERTINO?  Equitable playground  allocate hours for dog playing  Add water feature/sprayground to some parks (that already have ample parking)  There’s too much efffort put into parks in the wealthiest, privileged parts of Cupertino. Most of the council lives in Monta Vista, where the best parks are located. I haven’t been to Blackberry Farm in decades. I don’t feel that’s a park that serves all of Cupertino.  Improve reservations for city facilities (shorten notice, more available times)  provide clean/updated bathroom facilities in all parks  Go beyond ADA access to really understand how people of all abilities can access.  free parking  enough parking spots and free parking  Limit new buildings, create open green space  I have lived in Cupertino for over 40 years. I was born in Berkley. I pay taxes and support education and other city bonds. I did not go to school in Cupertino nor do I have children who used Cupertino schools. Equal access to means that I should be able to take my dog to my neighborhood (not a dog park far away) every day in the morning and then later in the late afternoon. It is only fair and equitable as I pay taxes and support the community but do not have the benefits of a very important use of neighborhood parks.  add turf fields  please focus on low-impact recreation  More shades around play structure  Add back cancelled sports center class, including TRX and strength training  Have plenty of parking  Enforce leash laws in parks so people aren't frightened to enter parks.  low cost usage for seniors especially Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | B-5 Vision and Goals Questionnaire Summary OTHER RESPONSES: HOW SHOULD CUPERTINO IMPROVE TRAILS AND CONNECTIVITY?  Bikes and walkers do not mix well. Keep separate  Please do not add more on-street bike paths. Instead, stop the City policy of increasing traffic. Bike paths will never decrease traffic. They only increase congestion.  Obtain "Parkside Trails"  no more pavement/asphalt please!  Keep the park clean!!!  create an alternate method to connect alternate routes to move around the city  Promote trails (add to website, flyers, gatherings)  Add shortcuts to Memorial walks/sidewalks  All the above! And please make every effort to separate bikers and walkers, for everyone's safety  separate walk ways from bike ways  Connect Stevens Creek Trail!!! Say no to the Nimbys!!!  See earlier discussion regarding off leash dogs during limited hours. Also dogs on leash should be allowed in trails.  Work with Planning Commission to ensure that growth doesn't fundamentally change the character of the city. Parks & Rec should not be the healer of the devastation caused by aggressive development, but a champion of a healthy, nature-connected community. Traffic in too many areas has already reached the point that biking is unsafe. Don't let further development drive frustrated motorists from arterial streets into neighborhoods and make biking even more dangerous.  please do not develop more trails in sensitive areas, such as creek corridors, but rather along streets and through urban areas  think about trails as tool for TRANSPORTATION NETWORK AND DAILY TRIPS not just recreation  Respect neighbors rights to safety  Trail connectivity for people often means cutting off wildlife corridors and habitat. Connectivity of wildlife habitat should be just as important, if not more so, than connectivity for trails.  Work with SCVWD and UPRR to put bike path/trail along UPRR tracks, like done in Saratoga  cut the weeds on the trails  all these would have a negative impact on the Stevens Creek corridor  Let's not overload natural areas with trails - defeats the peace and quiet function of parks  Include easy short walks for visually vestibular impaired  How about all of the above? Connectivity creates opportunities for a wide range of use.  Complete Lawrence trail  Distance trails from creeks and ecologically sensitive areas  No trail to connect Stevens creek trail to county parks, wasting money and destroying the neighborhood  Make sure that all trails and walkways have plenty of benches and areas to rest for people with limited mobility. OTHER RESPONSES: HOW SHOULD EXTRAORDINARY PLAY OPPORTUNITIES BE PROVIDED?  allocate hours for dog playing  Setup and maintain a Cupertino parks YouTube channel to show accessible play in action of all ages at different sites. B-6 | Parks & Recreation System Master Plan Appendix B: Open-Ended Responses  We need water back in the pound at Memorial Park, the drought is over... the park has lost its appeal. Use to be a calm place to go and picnic with the water. Now what? Cement????  I wish they had stretching and exercise equipment, like they have in fitness parks. Like a elliptical or waist exercising machine. These are not powered by electricity.  Sports activities (football, basketball)  Keep Golf  there is already adequate access to various community swimming pools and splash areas (Library and ortega park)  support otdoor fitness for adults/ think par course, gymnastics, calesthenics  provide outdoor rollerskating link  Adult Pool activities  Dogs  Promote Blackberry golf for all age groups  Provide opportunities to interact with the natural environment, especially riparian environments  add soccer turf fields  I think teens need more basketball hoops around to encourage them to hang in a safe park  not all parks need to have all of the same features  some parks need area for little ones. Not even an area at memorial for little tykes  All these suggestions would have a negative impact if done in the Stevens Creek corridor or McClellen Ranch.  Peace and natural beauty are important to me - not play.  NO on any Extraordinary Play things/events  Always have a quiet area to retreat  Mostly I'm interested in exercise walking  Create technology based, water play, bike hub, family plaza  I'm confused by what Extraordinary Play and "pop-up play) mean.  outdoor stationary game tables (City Hall plaza, Quinlan, Senior Center), oversized games/game pieces for checkout (Jenga, checkers,etc.)  Need to build a world class swimming  Provide Greenfields exercise equipment, perhaps Rotary would donate for a named area. Sr Center area.  Look toward magical bridges playground in PA. Love the proximity to library and design of playground. OTHER RESPONSES: HOW COULD CUPERTINO SUPPORT THE ARTS IN PARKS AND RECREATION?  offer paint/draw/sculpt in the parks events  ALL of these are important!  too many cultural events already at Memorial Park.  Use Flint Center for the whole community in performances  Include story, poetry, fiction in these concepts  Encourage Poet Laureate presentations in parks throughout the city  More events like concerts or theater in the park...  Art space for youths  Please focus on history of Cupertino!!  Build performing arts center  Have more than one Art and Wine Festival  Sponsor/create Jazz festival Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | B-7 Vision and Goals Questionnaire Summary  Cupertino seems to support more traditional art events. As a professional visual artist I feel my city could be more relevant to what is happening in the art world in the same way it is in the technological realm. I have many ideas along these lines, but don't know who/how to contribute to the city.  music jams  have kids (gr 5-12) concerts in parks  Merge art and functionality, unique benches/seating (Singapore has great examples), artistic fountains, playstructures  These are supported by De Anza and other organizations  Host shows of local artists. It happens on a limited scale at the library; why not on a larger scale at other public venues?  Have a city walk Art festival and invite artists from all over to buy a booth Like the Menlo Park one Its fun  Keep the summertime rock 'n' roll  Make sure use real art instead of so called "modern art" garbages.  Funds should be spent to expand and improve the existing Parks & Rec. programs, especially the 2yr old preschool programs that are now completely gone.  Music and performance in Memorial Park should be maintained/expanded. Opera in the park?  Keep at Memorial Park and leave it at that.  Not sure  art and craft fairs for everyone to participate not just professionals with professional set ups, e.g. city organized Holiday craft fair  a Museum  Interactive public art that can be manipulated, climbed, etc.  Make more use of Quinlan Community Center! It's under utilized.  continue professional events such as shakespeare in the park, live bands OTHER RESPONSES: WHAT COULD YOUTH OR TEEN EMPOWERMENT LOOK LIKE IN CUPERTINO PARKS AND RECREATION?  Provide more leadership programs and opportunities for kids & teens  Teen Center location is great and accessible.  Build the skateboard park we were promised years ago  ask the teens  A parkour space would set Cupertino apart from other facilities that are available in other cities.  Build a skateboard park  We have never used the teen center and do not plan to. We think it is not diverse. But we have never been there, so we don’t know for sure.  Provide opportunities for teens to have fun and connect with each other without an electronic device  bike park similar to calabazas in San Jose, Skate park similar to Fair Oaks in Sunnyvale  Arrange outdoor discos or music events in parks  team sports  encourage private businesses to create teen facilities  I prefer to have adults included, and not have events that are exclusively for teens only.  had more challenging adventurous recreation facilities in different locations from standard Park, with the help of DeAnza college or in parts of the unincorporated Cupertino  I would like all of the above :)  not knowledgeable on this subject  Skateboard park  Whatever it is, provide some crumbs to the teens on the east side of the city. Consider negotiating services for teens at the eventual refurbishment of Vallco. B-8 | Parks & Recreation System Master Plan Appendix B: Open-Ended Responses  move teen center to Library  Provide more nighttime teen activities & involve teens in designing & planning are tied for #2; connect teens to volunteer opportunities is #3  More physical activities  guest speakers  all the above  I would support for skill building, trips and excursions, but not college application and employment training. They don't belong to a park.  Please absolutely skip the named "adventurous" programs  No opinion (when my kids are older, I might be more informed about these options)  pass  Teen activities/hang out spot w/girl activities also  Build more sport center facilities to get teens active. Build a world class swimming OTHER RESPONSES: HOW COULD CUPERTINO BETTER SUPPORT SPECIAL EVENTS AND GROUP GATHERINGS?  Provide individual family spaces at Blackberry Farm  There is already plenty of venues available to groups. We are not interested in most of them. Most are focused on a single goup's ethnicity or religion. We go to other cities to participate in events and activities that are all-inclusive.  Provide reservable small group (12 - 20) picnic areas - so people can have smaller family gatherings and be assured of getting a table/space - fee required  create an area along Stevens Creek separate from the parks system, don't use Memorial Park for large groups. Make it easier for families to have parties at the park  Pop up outdoor yoga!  There are already too many events in Memorial Park - develop other parks, so that one park is not over- used  Multi use stage and open green  leave some of the common areas unreserved for spontaneous gatherings  community events at parks OTHER than Memorial Park!!!  Stay American  More reservable picnic facilities for small groups.  Support group gatherings by creating off-leash dog areas, as Mountain View (Cuesta Park) does  Gatherings on home character and decor like in some neighborhoods where everyone strives to make it look nicer and unique in a collaborative fashion.  There's no parking for Memorial park events  Provide classes for interest groups in parks like yoga, paintings etc  Neighborhood development, block parties, neighborhood watch training  Our parks do not have space for large events and parking is inadequate except for Linda Vista park.  collaborate w/ DeAnza college in using Flint Ctr for events  If anything do this at Memorial Park  I really do not go to "theme" events in Memorial Park  No opinion  Renovate, redesign and improve the current landscaping and facilities at Memorial park. Refill the pond, revive the grass fields. Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | B-9 Vision and Goals Questionnaire Summary OTHER RESPONSES: WHAT COULD HELP CUPERTINO PARKS AND RECREATION OFFER WELCOMING PLACES AND SERVICES?  The dog park on Mary Avenue has not bathroom, no shade, loose dirt , drip lines above the soil. We had to beg for the one pic-nic table that is there. The design & function of this park was not thought through! Most Cupertino residents go to other dog parks out of Cupertino for this reason. You won't see anyone there after 10:00 am. It's to hot due to the lack of shade! We all need to take our K-9's home and give them a bath. The soil is a huge issue. We have a lot of resources to provided our Residents & their furry friends a better well thought out Dog Park!  More parking  Provide reservable space at Blackberry Farm for families/small groups  more parking  The grass doesn't need to be as green but I don't understand why bushes (that are surviving the drought without additional water) are being removed. Our neighborhood park is now less inviting and rather ugly.  Provide maps on the city website that are easy to locate on the city website or an app that shows all the parks and scheduled activities  Please, no added dogs off leash. Already there is rampant unlawful dogs off leash in school yards and parks. There are attacks you don't hear about. Payoffs by dog owners to parents of bitten kids (see NextDoor) . There should be more lawsuits, if that's what it takes to keep dogs on leashes.  Provide lighting for overnight, keep park safe at night.  Make sure that dogs are on leashes where they are supposed to be. I have been attacked by off leash dogs several times in parks and in spite of my complaints, no solution has been found.  Teens should feel welcomed at all parks. They should not be viewed at "problematic".  Invite small vendors like food trucks  Ensure that facilities and policies are in place to maintain parks that are free of dog poop.  more shade trees  Dogs should be allowed in fewer parks and always with leash  More safe access routes to encourage walking, biking, fewer automobiles.  I would like to have my neighborhood park allow off leash times and areas for my dog. This improves the life of the dog by having social play. It, more importantly, improves the life of the dog owners by meeting people in the park. In our city most of us don’t even know our neighbors . this could solve this  Replace ponds at memorial park with shade trees, flowers, and plants  Open to helping school clubs with locations in the summer.  invest in upkeep  upscale landscaping  Large fields  Continue to require leashes for dogs!  Butterfly garden for every park  Increase park maintenance staff to keep our parks looking beautiful  Sufficient parking  Put in BBQ's for people to use  Build a world class swimming or other  Increase the park maintenance staff B-10 | Parks & Recreation System Master Plan Appendix B: Open-Ended Responses OTHER RESPONSES: HOW COULD PARTNERSHIPS BE SUPPORTED IN CUPERTINO PARKS AND RECREATION?  Get Apple to share spaceship grounds.  Plan a formal charity gala for local non-profit organizations with local business partnerships at the park  partner with youth sport organizations  make sure we have areas all over the city without so much density east of De Anza we have no large parks or gathering places like Memorial or Blackberry or McClellen  Work with appropriate other City departments to ensure that growth doesn't fundamentally change the character of the city. Parks & Rec should not be the healer of the devastation caused by aggressive development, but a champion of a healthy, nature-connected community.  Charge soccer or sport fees  Explore partnering with the county and Stevens Creek Park/Resevoir  identify partnerships with local environmental organizations  don't use developers bull to add open space that is not enough or in other parts of city all developers should have to add loads of open space in their projects  make sure developers have to actually build open areas for us not just buy into a program where we just put money back into existing parks there should be park space in every new development  Find partners for nature programming  No opinion  Rotary for example  Partnerships should not be developers OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER?  1. Keep things Natural 2. Improve on existing places 3. Add more variety and diversity in current programs 4. Involve more local community 5. More Youth and Volunteer Possibilities  1. Guided hikes in county park trails. 2. Connect county park trails to city parks. 3. Keep parks clean and safe.  Please build or reserve more park area in the east side of Cupertino. I'm not quite satisfied with the current limited green land in the east side of Cupertino.  We would love to extend the trail along Lawrence expressway and near Stevens Creek Blvd. thanks  Send new information, updates, reminders to the residents on social media platform as facebook.  I would like to see the City bring back the iconic Cali Brothers feed tower that once graced the crossroads of DeAnza Bl and Stevens Crk Bl. It served as a great city marker and was a place to display the lighted Christmas tree that people could view when crossing the intersection.  More Volunteering opportunities  You need to conserve more space/open land for community parks so residents have a place to go and meet neighbors. The parks need a bench, table, shaded areas, playground, open space for running, trails, etc. It doesn't need anything extraordinary. When it is welcoming, residents will start to use it more often, thus making it extraordinary.  I feel there are a lot of dog lovers in the community, for example the group that gathers at Jollyman Park regularly with 30+ dogs at times. This group of people, apparently, have been meeting there for years/ decades. There was only one opportunity in this survey to respond to options that include dog related opportunities (increase in off leash area). I feel this is a major oversight. We know how valuable pets can be to our mental, emotional, social, AND recreational lives. I would like to see options that include pet washes, access to water play, agility apparatus, vaccine clinics, staff to support activities, etc. The public Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | B-11 Vision and Goals Questionnaire Summary OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER? may benefit from information on dogs: how to approach them, etc, as some people have not been exposed to dogs- which can endanger both people and dogs. Thank you for offering this opportunity to provide input. I love this city and thank you for the work done by your, very important, department.  Focus on innovative, inclusive of age, abilities and cleaner spaces  "Many of the Cupertino trails lack shade and Vista points  Many city events lack adequate parking so my family no longer participates  Rec classes should be more friendly to people's work schedules  Memorial park recently looks a lot more depressing than I remember as a child since over 20 years ago. It would be best to find a sustainable and natural way to restore the park for use.  More basketball courts for teens would be nice"  Pocket Parks throughout the city to green our city and provide pleasant rest areas for walkers and bikers along corridors, and small visiting spots for neighbors in neighborhoods.  "Closed bike lanes. Shuttles to lottery schools to reduce traffic. Shuttles to schools."  Establish a friendly, welcoming and ready to assist culture for Cupertino's park and recreation system staffs. Continuous training (people interaction and technical skills) for all Cupertino's park and recreation system staffs.  "Please give most important to walking and biking trails, play structures, indoor recreational facilities, as they are the key solutions to maintain health and fitness of the cupertino residents.  Make residents of all ages as part of the maintenance of these public facilities. Send out flyers to each house of volunteering opportunities in those public facilities."  Add in rc racing  Accessibility to programs and events for all socioeconomic backgrounds and all ages.  Consider transforming the landscape of Memorial Park's water ponds to large foot/play areas for ball playing, small bikes, and/or water misting for children. Ponds are NOT needed. Seven Seas Park is a good example of a well designed park for all ages.  Provide some service for dog as well  Parks should be kept clean.  More pet friendly areas within our parks. Not so much as to have full run of the park, but some place they can go and run and have fun also. Maybe some dog runs with tunnels to run through and things to jump on, place to play with other dogs. Pets are a part of the community also and right now we must go to other cities to have a place to enjoy the out of doors with our dogs.  Build into the ongoing budget enough money to maintain and improve a parks infrastructure. Parks need to balance the population density and be nurtured as a living, biodiverse environment.  This may or may not be within the City/Parks and Recreation purview, but making Flint Center more accessible and affordable, to a wide variety of LOCAL performing groups, as well as touring shows, etc., is really important to me. I think the residents of the city helped pay for that facility many years ago, and it is the finest performing arts facility between San Francisco and San Jose, or maybe even SF and Santa Barbara or LA. The management has made it difficult to schedule, and work with. I know of some important program which have had to move to other venues because Flint was so difficult.  Look at best practices and successful programs, events, and partnerships in other communities. Link healthy lifestyle to recreation decisions, programs and facilities. Cultivate corporate and non-profit partnerships and seek grant funding for special projects. Lots more outreach and better communication with residents (improve scope and detail of Scene -- for instance, basic things like listing upcoming events for more than just a month ahead so we can plan).  "I live off of Mary Avenue in Cupertino. Our Redwood trees were neglected during the drought. We need to have a watering system put into place in the event we have another drought. Not to loose our trees that have been a valuable part of our ecosystem. B-12 | Parks & Recreation System Master Plan Appendix B: Open-Ended Responses OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER?  The water structure needs to have water init. The drought is over, fix the pond equipment and fill our pound back up with water.  Residents would go to the park to have their meals, read, take in nature. It has lost its appeal!  We need to have the Dog Parks evaluated for bathrooms, appropriate watering systems, enough shade & seating for the residents.  More shaded areas for our furry friends to rest, and what about the loose dirt! This park was horribly planned out, I understand the  person responsible for the design doesn't even have a dog. Really?  I have lived in Cupertino my entire life, we need to embrace our History. This is why people wanted to move to Cupertino. We have lost a great deal of our original residents because of all the changes in our City! Please restore and embrace what this beautiful City once was. The drought gave everyone an excuse to neglect their yards, parks & trees is this what we want for Cupertino?  Let's have festivals that include all cultures and not specific for one. We need to remember where are roots are and preserve that vision. I'm tired of the events at Memorial Park embracing other cultures, can't we all blend together as Americans?  Thank you for providing us Music in the Park and Shakespeare. We need to embrace the pancake breakfast @ 4th of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Harvest Fest, tree lighting ceremonies. Take a look at what Los Altos, Mt. View (Cuesta) ,Saratoga Los Gatos & Campbell are doing for their residents in they're parks. What about an Art & Wine Festival? A pet parade?  Let's remember our roots, we should all be proud in live in Cupertino and not sale out to other pressures."  Joint efforts with neighboring cities  Need free shuttle for all ages for the city to senior center schools, libraries , teen center , sports centers , supermarkets, Kaiser , PAMF facilities, YMCA, Traget Santa Clara transportation hubs such as to Sunnyvale Cal trains, Mountain View Light rail and Cal Trans, Winchester light rail, etc.  Have all the picnic tables be under shade structures. That would increase the number of reservations for Birthday parties and gatherings. Usually only one or two have some shade, while the rest are in full sun. In gets too hot in the afternoon and not many people use them. They only get traffic in the evening. Also increase the number of picnic tables and BBQ pits.  N/A  I think that there should be more places that are set aside completely or almost completely for the wildlife, so that it does not become too used to humans and has an opportunity to hunt and feed off of its' natural food instead of human food and garbage. There should be more programs designed on teaching the public about the wildlife in and around the city and that they should not fear the natural predators like coyotes and mountain lions. The public should be turned to loving and caring for the animals and there should be more in-depth programs for younger people that are interested or concerned.  Good heavens, no! This is the most wide-ranging, oddly arranged questionnaire I've ever seen. I suspect most people will not complete this because it is written in ways that mix points of varying value and complexity in the same "question".  none  I think basketball court space is something I don't always see in the parks. Not all schools allow access for this anymore. Make sure trash receptacles are clearly marked like they are by the library. Keep offering your excellent variety of programs at reasonable costs- we really need it and appreciate it!  Include more unique playgrounds, (such as Magical bridges), gardens  "The Stevens Creek trail need to be on a faster track to completion...  Cupertino has the connecting hub through Sunnyvale and Los Altos which can be crucial for commuting to the Sunnyvale, Mtn. View and Palo Alto areas."  None Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | B-13 Vision and Goals Questionnaire Summary OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER?  Preserve and enhance the natural character of Cupertino, the orchard city by the Stevens Creek. Preserving and enhancing the natural environment is more important than ever as the city's concrete jungle expands.  Make Cupertino Parks more suitable for the special needs community. Cupertino has a very large special needs community. Specifically students attending the special education program at CUSD. Building a all inclusive playground would be a great plus. A good example is the Magical Bridge playground at Palo Alto.  "An indoor swimming pool that offers classes for community youth and for seniors as it benefits elders to swim instead of jogging.  An outdoor turf field for multipurpose use (soccer, baseball, Track) with partnership with local youth only non-profit organizations."  As previously mentioned, a skateboard park was defunded several years ago before it could be built. That should be a priority.  "community input  parking  continue reservation system for picnic areas  nature education  restrooms, working water fountains"  Provide enough parking for parks and recreation spaces.... plan on residents from other cities coming to Cupertino for special events and programs. (For example, I certainly travel to Sunnyvale to spend time at their parks, especially the ones with spraygrounds/water features on hot days.) I feel like Cupertino doesn't have a "downtown" like Sunnyvale (Murphy St.) or Mountain View (Castro St.) that is full of restaurants, entertainment, and other businesses (aside from the Main St. Cupertino development.) The Oaks and Vallco should be re-developped into a thriving destinations for the citizens of Cupertino (and beyond).... places to hang out and spend time outside of the home.  Programming is at the heart of Cupertino. Our parks could be the epitome of technology in the Silicon Valley and world. Run Hackathons and tech events. Invite tech companies to run their camps so that city could earn some cash and use it to implement state-of-the-art technologies such as solar power, etc.  Involve in more sports (soccer, football, basketball)  Top concern is TRUE park for East Cupertino! Better yet, give that park a covered pavilion and plan programs for it. Plant it with native species that attract wildlife. Have trails and cozy shady areas for people to relax and enjoy nature. It needs to be much greater than the one small park that is on the very extreme East border of our city! And of course, a play area for small children with picnic tables and shady benches for caregivers to watch the kids at play. A park that is a destination for all Cupertino, more than just an afterthought for East Cupertino, please.  Security for the park itself and the visitors should be taken into consideration, especially in the evening when some individuals choose to hang out in the park either to party or in some cases vandalize. I think it would be beneficial to review the data and determine whether adding cameras is warranted. It's a touchy subject due to people who are concerned about their privacy, but I think it's a topic worth discussing, or at least planning the infrastructure requirements in case there is a need to add these capabilities in the future.  Promote Health (i.e. Par-course like the new one in Campbell next to downtown Campbell). It's not very expensive and emphasizes health  An All-Inclusive Playground like Magical Bridge of Palo Alto.  Peaceful environment  An indoor theater is an important place for people to gather and utilize. Great examples include Cubberly Community Center's well-used theater and the Campbell Community Center's well used theater. As a mid- size city with a very culturally diverse population, a small to mid-size theater for programs would be very welcome! B-14 | Parks & Recreation System Master Plan Appendix B: Open-Ended Responses OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER?  The biggest problem is the location of parks especially for teens and young children because most of them walk everywhere. If public transportation could improve and be promoted as safe and effective it would really really help. Additionally, regarding teen facilities, the advice of teens themselves would be the most effective. The teen center currently is unheard of and inaccessible for most teens.  I incorporate parks most days while walking my dogs. My favorite part is the coolness from the shade, the grass, plants, and trees as well as the calm break from a hectic day. Festivals are okay once in awhile, but the uniqueness of parks is the haven they present. Thank you for trash cans and the occasional doggie bag. Thank you to the gardeners who take good care of the plants. I'd like to see different kinds of plants and more places to sit and enjoy the scenery.  Make a consideration for parking, bike access or walking since the likelihood of public transportation (i.e. busses) is non-existent in this town. It would be nice if my kids felt safe biking to various parks in town but they don't with the amount of traffic in Cupertino.  Gaining input from the neighborhoods where parks are located - I would love to see organized activities like group yoga, dog walking groups and dog training classes, tai-chi groups, etc. I love the summer activities at Memorial Park that bring the community together (concerts, movies, Shakespeare and of course the July 4th activities.  zero carbon footprint  please figure out a way to connect our portion of the Stevens Creek Trail with the other communities'  Get as many people as possible to participate in community-wide events  better play structures to support activity, for example, Fremont's Central Park playground is great. It has a theme, and the cool use of the large space encourages activity.  Long-term planning for the transition from a suburban to an urban/suburban city. Multi-generational, interactive activities, especially volunteer activities for seniors to support teens and children and teens to support seniors  Cupertino is unique with Blackberry Farm Golf course. It is a short but challenging course. To remove the two par 4 holes would decrees the challenge and turn the course into a shorter less attractive venue.  Dogs off leash are a serious problem that is not being addressed. There is NO park in Cupertino without this serious problem. We need a very large open space dog park for dogs and we need to enforce the leash law in all of our other parks.  Focus less on the aesthetics and the trendy, but more on functional, practical and sustainable things.  "Restrooms in each park- Barnhart park doesn't have restrooms and very poor structure.  Trail along the Saratoga creek is poorly maintained, need to clean up and make it look nice."  Camera's in parks and for events that need more than publics' cell phone, I phone, etc for safety. Also where homeless are allowed to sleep in their cars!  "IT WOULD BE GREAT IF ALL NATIONALITIES COULD COME TOGETHER AND ENJOY EACH OTHER DOING ONE THING, INSTEAD OF SEPARATING EACH GROUP (CHINESE, INDIAN, ETC) THUS ELIMINATING ""JUST CHINESE"" OR JUST WHATEVER TO ACTIVITIES.  A WONDERFUL THING WOULD BE DIVERSITY AS ""ONE""."  Cost and sustainability over time - solar lighting, appropriate recycling and other trash disposal programs, use of grey water, funding to enable proper upkeep of whatever facility is put in place  Many long-time residents feel left out of community activities due to the emphasis on diversity. It seems like every event other than 4th of July emphasizes a foreign culture.  "East Cupertino is not a desirable place to live, for most people. Most residents are immigrants who moved here because they think the schools are good. A small number of residents only live here because they inherited a home and haven'[t the ability or ambition to move.  There is little nature in East Cupertino, and little sense of community. Its already overcrowded and the City Council's plan is to increase crowding specifically in East Cupertino. The residential streets are already lined Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | B-15 Vision and Goals Questionnaire Summary OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER? solid with cars. And the 2nd housing units haven't yet been built in the backyards. And the urban ""villages"" haven’t yet been built. Its the most expensive place in the country, vs what you actually get for living here. Ratio of $Expense/Nature is worst I have seen in US. $Expense/Home Size/Quality is worst in US. Please do not make it worse. At least not before I can get out."  Convert the existing waterway and pond areas, currently dry, at Memorial Park to create bike, scooter, skate and skateboard activities!  "Please fill water to memorial park, return to nature.  Please keep light stay on overnight, in all Cupertino parks, also increase police patrols in parks area, to keep it safe."  If Cupertino becomes too appealing with unique opportunities, it will attract outsiders which will create excess traffic and make the city services less accessible and desirable to its citizens for whom the programs were created.  Remember MAINTENANCE. It you can't/won't pay to maintain it WELL, don't do it at all.  Would love to have special events at local parks for the surrounding neighborhoods to have people get to meet each other (e.g., massive block party?). Cities that have places for people of all ages to explore the arts are very dynamic. Meeting for pottery, painting, planting, crafts, etc. Not necessarily the type of routine classes offered at the Quinlan Community Center. More benches for sitting in shady areas around the play areas would be helpful. Bathrooms in the smaller parks would be desirable, but only if there is an understanding with nearby residents about their hours of operation and routine maintenance.  I would say implementation of these goals without asking residents to completely change the character of their neighborhood (unless they want to actually do that).  Something has to be done with Vallco. It can't be allowed to sit there empty. Such a shame and waste of space.  Improve neighborhood parks and recreation centers so people don't have to fight traffic to get to Quinlan or Memorial Park or the Senior Center for classes. Offer classes for seniors through FUHSD ACE or the senior center at Monta Vista Recreation center so local residents can walk there instead of driving and adding to traffic in central Cupertino. Improve, update, modernize existing facilities in neighborhoods to make them attractive.  - URGENT: Facilitate a density credit transfer with owners of "Parkside Trails" and a downtown project in order to preserve, restore, and enjoy this area of great potential for open space. Don't be afraid of the cliff; a skilled & equipped crew can remove  More areas in the shade.  No. This survey was way too long. It will impact that response.  An upkeep maintenance program should be in place. Some paved walk paths are cracked and falling apart. They should be repaved and seal from time to time to avoid tripping.  Possibility of building a public swimming pool facility. Install basketball courts in more neighborhood parks such as Wilson Park.  Please stop removing all of the trees and paving everything! There are enough facilities with out turning the only semblances of nature that are left in this city into more plots of land designed to support cars and buildings.  "Cleaner bathrooms Creekside bathrooms smell always Does not matter time of day Bathrooms at other parks"  Don't waste money and keep environmental protection, please!  It would be really nice to create a park setting adjacent to the Main Street Cupertino Complex, where you can provide a hub for different activities, that include entertainment/concert/outdoor theater venue. Add some decent retail shops and walking/biking paths for easy access to the entire area. B-16 | Parks & Recreation System Master Plan Appendix B: Open-Ended Responses OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER?  Having an indoor facility for games, music, dance etc. Have a person (park employee?) responsible for facilitating activities, controlling/managing the environment, organizing, etc., during the weekend and, maybe, after school.  Continue to strengthen and enhance the natural environment within the city and it's parks.  "Make it unique. Cupertino is an extremely unique city. Have fruit trees that anyone can pick fruits to celebrate our orchard heritage. They can be apple trees, to celebrate Apple corporation too.  Explain the history via a scavenger hunt. i.e. Make a Cupertino City app, then have residents go to various places where they can have a phone-guided tour of the city and discover places. For example, they can find the Archery club in the Cupertino Foothills, or find a geotag spot where Fremont Older used to be (Creekside Park, the rock with the placard). Then the person can get points for finding locations."  I think there should be more places like the Teen Center.  Develop trail by UPRR rail to connect Saratoga's trail to Cupertino to Sunnyvale!  Focus on teen activities since there's a tradition in the area of kids doing too much school work, leading to isolation, stress, and even suicide. Discos, other events, skateparks, outdoor gyms  This is VERY IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT consider using neighborhood streets to connect the Stevens Creek Trail from Blackberry Farm/Stevens Creek Blvd. to the Sunnyvale side of 280. This would be extremely intrusive and lower the property values on those neighborhood streets.  Improve public transportation in addition to safer pedestrian & bike ways, advocating light rail on hwy 85, shuttle buses for festivals & parking enforcement in the neighborhoods during festivals, not just dumb signs that get knocked over and ignored.  Save Stocklmeir House from Rotary offices. Provide some real nature for the east side. Do not push Vallco's roof as a park ever again!  Improve multi-use paths within existing parks - widen paths as needed, clarifying when paths are multi-use and when they are pedestrian only.  I would love for there to be more safe and accessible places to bike and walk throughout the city.  None that I can think of, thanks for asking and also sending me this survey to fill out.  We need a community theater for plays, recitals, etc.  Safe Biking tracks in the park  Fine arts and performing arts center which is rentable year round.  I think the thing that most interests me is public space innovation. The small town of Delta, UT has a man- made circulating river for kids to play in. East of Memphis, TN in the middle of nowhere, there is a highly in innovate park area with huge rope nets to climb on, 75' diameter "pits" with slides and sand. Cuesta Park in Sunnyvale has a fantastic play area with large quantities of sand. I don't see innovative use of space in most of Cupertino's parks.  Raising awareness of the native local plants & animals, how our daily choices impact them, and how we can do our part to conserve our open spaces for future generations to enjoy & appreciate. Walking trails and paths through parks with information boards is one example.  I'd like to propose that City of Cupertino partner with Blackberry Farm Golf course to offer Cupertino residents to be eligible to play golf at the Blackberry Farm Golf course, located at 22100 Stevens Creek Blvd in Cupertino, as part of an agreement with the City of Cupertino. Each Cupertino resident will be entitled to golf six times per year. Cupertino residents can secure a tee time up to six days in advance by calling the club directly at 408.253.9200. Reservations can be made for 1 to 4 players. Only the player making the reservation needs to be a resident. Proof of residence is required. Walk-ins are welcome subject to availability, but reservations are recommended. City of Aliso Viejo, California offers similiar golf benefits to their Aliso Viejo residents. http://www.cityofalisoviejo.com/city-hall/departments/parks-recreation/aliso- viejo-resident-golf-opportunities/  Safe walkable trails from neighborhoods to parks. Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | B-17 Vision and Goals Questionnaire Summary OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER?  sorry have no idea  Rebuilding the Oaks. It was nice when there was a bookstore, theater, food and coffee. It was a good neighbor meeting place. There was also music and dance! Main Street has over the top prices for family food and drinks. It's more of a yuppie environment.  "Davis, CA has terrific interconnected bike/walking/running trails. Some are designed to have under street access which is also very useful. Surely Apple would contribute to more community parks and healthy lifestyle for Cupertino.  The new ""Downtown"" was poorly designed for walking, relaxing, and natural. It is awful."  Relocate the teen space to the Vallco shopping center because the Bay Club is there and that is a very popular place for teens to go.  "Cupertino Parks should restore native habitats and work with the descendants of the Native American tribes from the region to respectfully educate current residents about the plants/animals/traditional practices.  Bike trail connectivity is very important. The Stevens Creek trail should be continuous! :)"  Make really fun toys like small water slides.  Something has to be done with the water area's at Memorial Park. If there will not be any water in those ponds, perhaps replace with grass, trees, Bocci Ball courts or cornhole. Something that the community can use. Please consider when attempting to make the area "culturally diverse", do not replace English with other languages, the idea is to incorporate and be inclusive not to make other culture's inclusive by taking away the culture that is already exists and has been there for hundreds of years. This practice is divisive!!!!  We like geese - but we don't like what the geese leave . . . we'd like to have Memorial Park 'lake' - but . . . we see the geese and the problems . . . tennis courts are desirable . . .  More high school improvements  The history of Cupertino should be reflected in our parks and recreation programs.  How about having a unique community center with library, meeting places, gym, pool, climbing wall?  "The themes for individual parks do not have to be homogenous. Each park should be examined to identify its particular character: natural attributes, topography, placement relative to the neighboring community, accessibility, public facilities, etc. Not every park need provide the same services to the public. certain parks may be flat and open and best to supporting outdoor sports. Other parks may have wooded areas where trails and paved walkways can provide individuals of different ability means to explore the natural environment. Other parks may be better suited to private/public events such as picnicking, gaming, social engagements, small outdoor theater, etc.  Variety between park themes better suit the varied interest and culture of the community. All parks share the need to be a safe place for individuals to engage in their legal pursuits.  Consider the concept of engaging volunteer staff who can serve as docents or stewards to the public and direct continued maintenance of the park facilities."  Community garden  Parks should be walkable/bike-able, connected, and plentiful, particularly in east Cupertino. More dedicated walking/biking paths are needed to connect our city, and encourage residents to get out of their cars and enjoy their city on foot/bike.  More parking at the senior center, or/and shuttle service to the senior center. Some type of "natural" water feature in Memorial Park.  Make sure there is adequate parking. For example, the parking at Rancho San Antonio is very limited causing unsafe spillover into the neighborhoods. The weekends are very dangerous for pedestrians because of all of the cars trying to find parking.  "Build a performing arts center  Get freeway traffic off city streets and prioritize bike boulevards increasing green spaces" B-18 | Parks & Recreation System Master Plan Appendix B: Open-Ended Responses OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER?  A key goal is increasing our citizens' interest in our parks. The more interesting the parks are to the local families, the greater interest the families will have in the park system; and this can become a virtuous cycle of increasing interest. The trick can be to start this cycle in the right direction, and leveraging existing interest in youth activities (sports, scouting, etc.) can be a powerful way of making a good start.  The master plan should identify a clear set of long-term goals in terms of facilities, services, and programs. Even if we can't afford to do all these things immediately, it's important that a clear list of priorities exist so that we can build community buy in to the plan and demonstrate progress. If the plan must change over time, that's OK, but it should be a public process that continues to review and reaffirm the City's priorities with regard to our parks, open space, and programs.  Cupertino attracts lots of families so please consider how to encourage the families to get outside to play together, and do things besides tutoring classes for the kids. The annual fireworks show is a wonderful tradition that allows families to do something together that I hope will continue. I would also like to see permanent improvements in the park infrastructure that will make the parks beautiful in a permanent way for a long term return on the investment.  Perhaps continue to build ways to bring diverse neighbors together. Maybe identify needs in community and ways for neighbors to pitch in and meet those needs, whether it's physical assistance, language learning, food delivery, company for isolated people, referral to available resources . . . building neighborhoods of connected people who understand and want to help each other.  doing something with the empty lake at memorial park/goose Pooh park. Consider making a bicycle park/skateboard park for the teens  Safety - Lot of homeless people take shelter in the park which is OK but it detracts regular visitors because they're often hassled. Also, late at night - you can see trouble makers in the park.  Sustainability. Our parks should not contribute to green house gas emissions and should encourage sustainable behavior.  Focus on infrastructure such as replacing main lines, drainage, electrical, and structures. Installing new points of connection for irrigation. The installation of new points of connection will have a direct impact on the visual appearance of the locations. It will create the opportunity to better utilize the water window we are allowed to use to water the sites.  Move more to the East Cupertino, wifi in parks, more activities for teens, indoor badminton for free/reduced price  Add obstacle courses around Memorial Park!  When a developer promises an "amenity" such as a town square or park because we're giving them an "amenity" such as additional office space or reneging on senior housing, make sure that what they promise is a true quality amenity, and what they deliver is exactly what they promised (main Street, e.g.).  Blackberry Farm Golf Course and The Blue Pheasant Restaurant need to be refurbished to keep BBFGC a destination golf outing experience for young golfers, as well as, more experienced golfers. The BP bar and restaurant should remain an "after golf experience", where golfers can congregate after their round of golf. Therefore, The BP should be open especially on Saturdays and Sundays, in order to accommodate golfers from the BBFGC.  no ideas on this  "Three areas that are very important to me:  1) Shade!!! Most of our parks are miserably hot and uninviting for a large part of the day.  2) Adequate on-site parking. This is an issue throughout Cupertino. Especially during events the impact on nearby neighborhoods is unacceptable. And the disabled often end up not attending at all because there is nowhere to park within the short distance they are able to walk. (Handicapped parking fills long before the event starts. There's seldom enough.)  3) As trails are developed, please be cognizant of the dangers that bicycles pose to pedestrians. Kids are allowed to ride on sidewalks throughout Cupertino, and that has been recently expanded to include those Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | B-19 Vision and Goals Questionnaire Summary OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER? up to 12 yrs and adults accompanying them. Yikes! for pedestrians. I have narrowly escaped being knocked down by bikes on sidewalks several times recently. I don't want to pay to develop trails where I won't be safe walking."  Your survey covers the possibilities quite thoroughly. The rest of the Cupertino MasterPlan should observe strict population density criteria. Recent building seems to have completely forgotten resident Population density concerns.  Thanks for making Cupertino a better place to live!  Keep costs down and use what is already there. Never underestimate the value of volunteers of all ages.  Diversity: Most recreational activities are universal. As long as activities are open to all, attempting to cater to every possible group might create small sets of activities. That may unintentionally exclude citizens from other walks of life or limit the availability of the most popular activities.  Thank you for the opportunity to be part of this project.  Provide and create more high tech family oriented interconnect park or trail where the people can hang out and play with more social festival events to attract people to come & join.  Each park, when possible, should have a safe, even, and accessible walking path with mileage markers. All parks should have an area designated for off leash dogs - away from playground equipment and "peaceful nature retreats." Every park should have specific designated trash and recycle bins. Not ones that have the same "body like can" and different color lids. These are important especially if it is a park that has youth events in them ie: baseball, soccer, etc...  It would be great to have the bike trail along Saratoga Creek continue on to the new Apple Spaceship on Tantau. Right now it is difficult to get across Stevens Creek by bicycle. We like to be able to not use our cars just getting around town  No  "Control of noise level around park area.  July 4th Fireworks.  Safety in the parks."  Cupertino is already doing well with many of the goals I identified, but more is better, of course.  Further promote what is already available.  Why are we not using the schools more as part of our recreation for non school times?  Facilities, like running tracks, should be available during all daylight hours every day and NOT closed during school hours! It is not acceptable that runners do not have a track to run on when there are so many tracks in Cupertino!  Really like the idea of bringing small adventures and events to the smaller neighborhood parks, inviting the neighbors in that area to participate, and bringing them together to meet and greet each other. Sounds like these types of "nuclear events" could help built relationships in neighborhoods.  More open spaces. Taller mixed use living, like Santana Row.  some type of communication phone. in case someone needs help for medical or a criminal observations is seen and a person doesn’t have a smart phone. Like the phones they used to have on the highways to call for assistance.  This was an excellent survey, and seemed to cover most aspects. I would like more greenery all around, and more festivals, perhaps an animal farm, and events in our parks.  create dog park within a park concept  The public garden area in Blackberry farm that has plots that are open to the public for planting needs to be looked at. MANY of these areas are not being used by those who have been allot the plots. Someone from the city should review each plot and open them up to people who are on a wait list and can't get access to them because many people who have access are not even using them. Please review this and also open up new areas so more people who want to actively participate in using these areas can. Please!!!! B-20 | Parks & Recreation System Master Plan Appendix B: Open-Ended Responses OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER?  "We need more facilities for recreation (Youth/senior center for kids/senior to watch movies, shopping, playing sports indoor or outdoor, sunny day or raining day), we don't need more housing (apartments, hotel, townhouse, even senior housing).  We need to educate the ADULTS to bike on the bike lane, Cupertino City spend a lot of money create bike lane on Stevens Creeks, McClellan Road, but ""Biker"" still bike on the road."  Provide more park spaces  Gym with ample basketball space as well as a work out facility. A pool.  the main goal of our parks is to have a place where people will want to go to play and relax. There should be plenty of picnic areas in shady areas. make it possible to reserve tables for only half of the day so that more people can use them. 10 AM to 3 PM and 3 PM to 8 PM. Each park should have their own individual feel. I would love to see a water feature designed like the old portal Park. Water cannons, waterfall and an imitation Creek going around the structure. Operating costs could be covered by inserting coins to run a feature for 5 minutes. fill the pond areas at Memorial Park,  Install irrigation systems to Street trees to let the tree grow quicker and make Cupertino greener and more shaded areas  Mtn. View has done a great job interconnecting pathways/bikepaths. We have so many beautiful creekside paths, let's open them.  "Create a safe pedestrian walkway along Foothill Blvd./Stevens Canyon Rd. from Miramonte Rd. to Stevens Creek county park.  Create a safe bicycle path along Foothill Blvd. from Homestead Rd. to Stevens Creek county park. and within Stevens Creek county park along Stevens Canyon Rd. to the city of Saratoga."  Let's make the Stevens Creek Trail happen!!!  Keep the parks clean and maintained. Many need basic lawn mowing, watering and weed pulling  Story time in a parks or acts in the parks for children (1-6)  I am a teen and I would love there to be more activities at the park for me and I would love there to be sitting area (like a hub) designed for teens!  Increasing the number and variety of fitness classes offered at the Sports Center. Improving the customer service and management of the CSC.  "Living in Cupertino is beautiful because of its nature and diversity.  I am very supportive in improving parks and put more trees/green into all Cupertino streets.  Comment because of some of the questions -> Please use English and value it's diversity culture. I am born in Italy, and have been living in Cupertino for 15+ years. I am really disappointed when I see signs or festivals in Chinese, and feel excluded - which I see happening more and more over the years. I wouldn't want to see using my born language since I know that it automatically excludes others, and kills diversity instead of helping."  Please consider creating a Full Time Ranger staff to help with outdoor events, community or volunteer activities, nature interpretation walks, public safety, outreach and to monitor maintenance needs.  A pool with a lap swim program would be great.  "Dog friendly areas that are better than what is available today - perhaps a dog play area at each park?  Please make sure that community golf courses remain and begin early / teenager programs"  I think the space between Blackberry Farm & McClellan Ranch - where there is some grass and open space - volleyball courts? - is under utilized and would be a good space for some sort of unleashed dog play area.  Cupertino needs to be like Saratoga- the city of trees! Make our city GREEN again!  Spread the word in a more efficient manner.  No.  Add some more parks Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | B-21 Vision and Goals Questionnaire Summary OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER?  "We are an interesting and diverse community but we are also American. Sometimes so much emphasis on various cultures  seems divisive. We need to be inclusive and enjoy our diversity but also to be together in the spirit of being Americans. Many other languages are spoken and are on signage but I think English should be first and most prominent to bring us together. I see too much divisiveness. We need to respect our English language as something to unify us. We need to find things in common to foster communication between cultures, ages and social class."  Quinlan & Memorial Park parking  To me it is important that our population density either decrease or stay the same. Adding more parks will help make that happen.  Yearly bus pass to seniors to get to parks cheap. Get a better gym for health like sunnyvale and santa clara.  A community theater is an important element in any remodel. Especially in Memorial Park.  Please provide low-maintenance exercise machines in the parks.  More shady places for play areas in parks. When children play in the summer our areas are not shaded by trees or structures and have to endure the sun. Some trees have been torn down without replacement  More parks and trails for walking dogs please.  More bike trails along the creeks  Connect the trails and publicize  "Memorial Park does not have a Tot Play Area for little ones. With such a big park and one of our only large shaded parks. we need that. Also Monta Vista Rec Tot Area has NO SHADE  Some of our little parks have no bathroom and feel like they are not welcoming. Example: Hoover Park is nice, but no bathroom"  providing enough parking and toilets around parks etc, especially Rancho San Antonio, which has waaay too few parking spots.  "Adult fitness ""playgrounds"" would be great.  Better integration with the bike pathways would be amazing. Bicycle commutes would be so much more enjoyable and safer if they could cut through quiet and peaceful parks instead of along busy 6-lane roads."  Cost  "we are multi-cultural area, yet each culture seems to want to do their own thing --one event featuring their own culture  instead of combining all together. Why not have at least one event where Chinese, Japanese, Indian, German, Italian or any other  cultural group can feature their folklore, history, diversity. That's a community coming together to respect and learn from each other."  It would be nice for Memorial Park to have more trees and shady areas, places to sit, more quietude, and fewer events. This park is over-used - too many festivals, with attendant traffic and noise. It is an ideal location for an "urban forest" where people could enjoy nature and quiet places to relax, stroll, have small group gatherings - it could be more like Serra Park in Sunnyvale, a respite and counterpoint to hectic lifestyles.  Design to minimize automobile traffic. Promote biking and walking.  The exercise classes at Cupertino Sr. Center should be on going throughout the year. At the present time there are breaks in the class schedules when no classes are held. Exercise is very important to the health of seniors. Thanks for your consideration.  Make our parks desirable--clean, accessible, walkable from the neighborhoods, appealing to all ages and cultures as a park. Don't try to be too many things. It's a park. B-22 | Parks & Recreation System Master Plan Appendix B: Open-Ended Responses OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER?  AS our urban density increases, we need to have areas for families to gather, maybe small areas. I know portal park is very active for people just coming for playtime for children and just gathering in the evenings before dark to visit. It's a small park but very useful for those who live in this area.  Maintain space for golf.  You have youth/teen empowerment.....but nothing about seniors. Services and accommodation for aging baby boomers needs to be a priority. 43% of residents are over the age of 50 and 37% of households have at least one person over the age of 65.  "Use of materials that do not overheat (as metal slides); cause no intentional harm  Swings for adults  Tai Chi in parks - with schedules posted (and other senior positive activities)"  no tot area in Memorial park for little ones. Preschool has a little yard, but not easy to get in and has minimal shade. I peeked in and only 3 or 4 kids have shade in sand area and sand area is way too small for a full class. Also Monta Vista Rec has a tot area with no shade at all.  Improve what we have to the best facility possible and plan to maintain it through times of water restrictions( don't turn off the water and let everything die) create a truly green space with native trees and shade (nobody wants to sit in the sun), and grass area. Consider artificial turf for high surface use like soccer fields, sand/ beach like areas for multi-use (beach volleyball or play area), boulders and benches, create a truly relaxing, green and calm Oasis ( I think Central Park New York), no new buildings, keep the green space green and plan for maintenance. It is sad to see what happened to Memorial Park  Please think about the future of Cupertino when you plan. The growing population and business have occupied more and more land and our usable public area is shrinking, the skyline is disappearing and air pollution and traffic are getting worse. We need a public and green areas for our recreation. No feed for trendy, human arts. Keep the parks green, natural, welcome places for natural animals.  Get Apple to invest in Cupertino since they are dominating the city.  Alternatives to hard paths, fake ponds and fake grass. City needs to figure out how to create dense development to maintain a maximum of open and green space. Work with planners and developers to build up in order to preserve as much living earth as possible. Our kids will need affordable places to live, not big single-family homes with private, rarely used yards. Create frog habitat, bird habitat, connected greenways, wildlife corridors, and open spaces for the community to share. Number one goal should be acquiring and preserving land. Worry about programs later. You don't have the option of putting land acquisition anywhere but as a top priority, cause it won't be around to acquire later. We will go insane without land.  Add as much open space as possible. Cupertino is becoming too crowded. Walking and hiking trails are important. Also need more swimming opportunities.  We like to have more trees, tree lines are beautiful and we needs more trees. We like the Cupertino City to have a plan in planting more trees, not to cut down trees. This may be out of subject, but we found that all business parking lots should grow trees to shade ourselves and to help our environment. We seem to fill up space with concrete.  Master Plan should not only include the imperatives invited by this questionnaire, but needs to show terrain and physical plant in illustration of any new improvements, innovations, changes and before that changes to the plan concerning illustration itself of virtual or document or regulation or other changes. Thank you for this opportunity to comment.  Free space/hiking. You cannot simply expand the parks.  Please consider parking. For instance, there seems to be no parking available for residents on DeAnza Flea Market Days or whenever there is a festival. Thus, residents must find somewhere else for daily walking. Also, shade trees in parking areas are a definite plus.  "Hiking/walking does not mean walking in the street because the sidewalks are unsafe.  Places for kids to skateboard does not mean transporting moveable ramps on a truck to different parks. Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | B-23 Vision and Goals Questionnaire Summary OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER?  Not everyone wants dogs in parks. There needs to be a place for them away from me."  If Cupertino is serious about equal and equitable access to neighborhood parks, it is time of provide off leash at local parks for early morning and then later afternoon. A singular dog park not easily accessible is NOT acceptable. As noted in my previous comment, I am a senior, born in Berkley CA., who has lived in Cupertino for over 40 years and I am a homeowner. Dogs, and off leash, were always a part of my life. As I did not attend school in Cupertino nor have children who did. Therefore, benefits from related taxes and all my yes votes on bonds to support local communities have given me very limited park or school benefits. I supported ALL of the aforementioned bonds bonds because IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!, even if I did not received direct benefit. A diverse community includes people with dogs and that has forever been true. It is long overdue that Cupertino City Council stand up and do the FAIR, EQUITABLE and RIGHT action and support their dog lovers. More damage to parks and nature is done by people than by dogs. People are also more dangerous than dogs will ever be. Cupertino needs to grow up and provide the same equitable and fair access for off-leash neighborhood park limited time hours as is currently done by many cities.  Minimum building of new infrastructures since existing ones are in excellent condition conservation of natural environmental resources. May need more volunteer efforts to work together. Communities are needed more for cooperation and meeting for new activities  No big fountains to attract geese.  The dog park is too small and too far away for most of us to walk to it. Why can't we have designated "dog hours" at regular parks when these parks are largely deserted?  "Vallco is an opportunity to provide recreational opportunities for east side neighbors.  Investigate opportunities for the City to partner with Vallco owners:  - Immediate opportunities for east side neighbors during Vallco's ""closure""  - Longer term opportunities that are included in plans for Vallco's refurbishment  - Let Vallco owners demonstrate that they are receptive partners for Cupertino officials and residents"  Try not to partner with private organizations. Keep joint ventures public. School, libraries, mid peninsula.  To be green and environment friendly.  Add artificial soccer turf for all year plays, don't worry about field closure due to wet rain. Like other cities, they have their own city parks that have turf fields. Let Cupertino be one that have it own.  I just came from a walk starting at McClellan Ranch Park, through Blackberry Farm and ending at Stevens Creek. I would like to see the trail continue but I don't know if that's possible. The buildings at McClellan Ranch have been beautifully built/restored. Blackberry Farm is a jewel. The trail past the golf course and through the orchard is lovely. Cupertino has a lot to be proud of. If the Master Plan can continue this good work it will be a success.  N/A  The use of school playgrounds and fields to help facilitate the variety of sports and walking paths/par course stations for stretching and movement.  Utilize De Anza capital more for community events  Diversity should include everyone including people of color recognizing that white is a color!  Investigate green ground cover that is not grass but could be played on. I know water is at a premium but all the brown grass is depressing.  Keep dogs on leash, and provide off leash dog "parks".  The fact that Cupertino is an extremely congested area should be a priority consideration. Do not necessitate increased use of automobiles. Roads are clogged and parking is a nightmare!  Do not reduce size of any parks in Cupertino  A community swimming pool! On the east side of Cupertino. Or at Memorial Park. There are not enough places for people to swim or wade during our increasingly hot summers. Cupertino has only the one at B-24 | Parks & Recreation System Master Plan Appendix B: Open-Ended Responses OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER? Blackberry Farm, and the access becomes more difficult as the connecting streets are burdened with more traffic.  The Blackberry Farm Golf Course is a unique recreation facility. Some proposals have recommended elimination due to lack of use, use primarily by older people, and amount of acreage committed. I feel the uniqueness outweighs these factors and thought should be put into improving usability.  Create a new park space in East Cupertino, such as creating the Lawrence Mitty park.  Encourage setting neighborhood variety of play groups for different age groups: Tai chi, Frisbee, Vollyball, ... so that nearby residents who share similar interests can easily find companions.  "Please consider how expensive it will be to change things around at all the different parks in the city.  Also, please consider not ripping out existing trees and habitats, but letting these spaces remain. They are already established homes for wildlife."  Jogging paths would be nice. Also building trails alongside creeks would be good.  natural and native habitat, protected areas without access  "Park planning should take into account the context of each park. Successful parks and squares can draw from a diverse source of visitors nearby at all times. For example, Cupertino has many multigenerational immigrant households, and a successful park will likely have to be a welcoming place for elderly visitors, esp those who do not speak English. Jollyman Park seems to be busy all day, with grandparents hanging out in the park or taking their grandkids.  Also, look for better ways to integrate visitors from shopping centers. Make it easy to, say, buy boba or a meal and then walk to the park to enjoy it. Think about better advertising connections between commercial districts and nearby parks.  Failed parks become dead places that people prefer to avoid. at worst they attract crime. This happens when planners plunk down parks for the sake of having created X acres of parkland within Y distance rather than paying attention to neighborhood context and what neighbors need. Cali Mill Plaza on Stevens Creek/De Anza seems to attract fewer visitors than Jollyman Park even though it's right next to condos, offices, shops, and the library. When I went there, it just felt too empty and wide open, plus it is surrounded by high speed traffic. Needs more shade too for summer. Best enjoyed through a photograph or an architectural drawing."  No  Add more parks. Distribute festivals more evenly so the Memorial Park neighborhood isn't as heavily impacted by noise, parking issues, etc.  "Preserve and maintain natural areas - reduce cemented/ non permeable landscapes-THINK LONG TERM- WILL THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF THIS AREA BE AROUND FOR YOUR GRANDCHILDREN TO APPRECIATE AND ENJOY??  have plans the help reduce pollution and traffic that is destroying our environment"  Cupertino needs a stronger identity (apart from its excellent schools and high tech reputation) that can shine through the county, state, and, yes, the country and the world. It needs to shed its image as just a bedroom community!  Preserve Blackberry Farm Golf Course  "Keep all the parks and build more.  Provide more facilities in parks which have more use (basketball in jollyman park, for instance. Needs another court)  No more structures, please.  Keep green stuff, green."  I have two toddlers and I like to take them to different Cupertino parks to play during the weekends, especially in the summer. However, most of the play structures don't have shades and during the summer time when the temperatures are in its high 80s and 90s, it is simply too hot to play. I think it is crucial for Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | B-25 Vision and Goals Questionnaire Summary OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER? the city to come up with plans to create more shades / adding tents to cover the play structures so that kids can still enjoy playing outside during hot weather. Water play is another great idea that should be taking into considerations. Thanks in advance for listening to us, we Cupertino residents are proud that you are coming with great plans for all our parks.  Minimize building and facilities development.  Tying arts, local history and nature together.  Bathrooms at EVERY park. And community events at parks other than Memorial Park.  dont let current parks fall to the wayside  make sure there is lots of shade in parks  The city has done a horrible job on growth!!! Way too urban and not enough green space or ability for safe biking. Something needs to be done now to protect the environment before it is too late!!! All the city cares about is adding Moreno housing but not making this a city in harmony with green space!!!  Respect private property and educate about the agricultural culture that led to Santa Clara Valley being known as " The Valley of Hearts Delight" and how this was overwhelmed and replaced with concrete, asphalt and steel to create "Silicon Valley".  Improve neighborhood planning, information, and street access for the Fourth of July fireworks event.  Eliminate race and cultural distinctions. Focus on America not foreign countries.  Look for ways to integrate parks with Cupertino's Bicycling Transportation Plan.  "Keep looking for opportunities to add park land on east side of Cupertino. Encourage Apple to make part of their so-called ""Apple Park"" campus available as pubic park space.  Preserve and enhance nature/habitat values in all parks, especially the Stevens Creek Corridor."  More parking at the Senior Center. Assisted access to and from parking.  "keep East Side in mind  create more parks in other parts of Cupertino  all of our city deserves open space as much as McClellan and Blackberry and Memorial"  make sure there is shade and plenty of open space. some of our parks have kid areas without shade like monta vista rec tot play area. tot area in memorial park  Please consider allowing off leash dog areas in the parks. Mountain View does this in Eagle and Cuesta parks. Practically speaking, this already happens in different corners of the parks. It is a great social activity for both the dog owners and the dogs. We appreciate and take care of the parks!  Try to hold events to build a sense of greater community and caring for the character of the city, much like how is done in other communities, with particular attention to upkeep of properties, etc. This would add substantial value to Cupertino which is sometimes viewed as having only "school value". Show how everyone can get together and encourage better upkeep, uniqueness, curb appeal, etc so that the entire community can benefit.  We need an amphitheater to provide live music like Saratoga has Small and not big Just an awesome draw for local businesses Put it into Vallco in the back  The parks along the Stevens Creek corridor - McClellan Ranch, Blackberry Farm, Stocklmeir Orchard, and Linda Vista - include semi-natural areas which provide Cupertino residents with places to walk among the soaring sycamores, view hawks grabbing a squirrel snack, and delight in butterflies sipping nectar from wildflowers. It is worrying that these special parks are lumped in with other city parks in a planning process which focuses on various forms of development. These parks provide the community with a needed respite from their activity-packed, work/school-oriented lives. If we try to crowd too many man-made facilities and organized activities into these parks, we will end up destroying much of their value.  Get rid of all the empty concrete water features which take up space and are a hazard. Install baby changing facilities in all restrooms. Update and expand playground facilities. More shaded trails. B-26 | Parks & Recreation System Master Plan Appendix B: Open-Ended Responses OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER?  Reach out to the community when getting enrollment for programs and projects especially for programs that are offered elsewhere and might have a waiting list (i.e. the Cupertino YMCA). If a program is at-risk for cancellation, do all you can to accommodate those who have shown interest in signing up before cancelling the program entirely. In addition, publicize that a program may not happen due to low enrollment to garner interest. Work with other nearby organizations to better serve the community.  Ensure adequate outdoor lighting around picnic areas.  I think MeClellan Ranch and the trail is superb. It is beautiful and a wonder. I live by Jollyman and in the summer evenings it is a vibrant and busy park. There are families on the play structures. People walking the circular path. Groups of rugby and soccer players by the baseball field. In the mornings it is also very busy. It is a great park, everything a park should be. It could use some more trees and some benches, the grass could be in better shape but overall I am happy with the park. Do we need some parks with other things such as cricket, etc? Yes, but don’t' screw up the parks that are well used and enjoyed. Just make them better  Improve receptiveness to customer complaints at the sports center, solicit input from sports center members, and incorporate member suggestions.  Parks should be easily accessible and must be safe for children to walk or bike. Parks should be a go to place where children can leave technology behind and have physical playtime with neighboring kids. It should be a common meeting and hangout place for neighbors. For this parks should be safely accessible and have classes like yoga or any common exercise class and some common forum where neighbors can exchange some skills like paintings, holiday time crafts etc.  More turf fields for pickup soccer!  more indoor recreation spaces on the east side  More camps during school year that can partner with school clubs - ex: theater class with high school alums (? illegible), etc.  "My experience is predominately with Creekside Park which I use for exercise and socializing 3 times a week. I have gone to Memorial park on occasion but found parking difficult and the feeling of it being ""in the city"" rather than Creekside which is more bounded. Overall, I find Creekside extraordinary.  P.S. My father and sister are City Managers so I know what I am talking about. Keep up the good work and good luck with your plan."  "Make it unique to each subdivision. For example:  Linda Vista Park - make it look more exclusive and better lit. Plant more trees and cleanup the picnic area a little. There is a large hill area that is currently blocked off that could be opened up and be used as almost an observatory hill with some better gardening. Maintain the pond area and keep it running now that the drought is over or rebuild that area.  McClellan Ranch / BB Farm - make the McClellan Ranch and Stevens Creek entrances more appealing with maintained gardening. Trim back all the weeds. Also try to control the odor a bit at the Ranch.  Memorial Park - Fill the water and include more than grass.  Varian Park - focus on upkeep. There could be a lot of nice roses and trees planted and maintained in the perimeter"  There is simply not enough parks. The parks are jam packed during weekends. We need more parks and open spaces. Cupertino is turning into a noisy, traffic congested, poorly planned city rather than the old quiet peaceful suburb it used to be.  There should be adequate parking at all parks.  Designing a great park is all about achieving unique look and feel followed by regular ongoing maintenance. Shoot for a look and feel of something peaceful and timeless like in Palo Alto or Willow Glen. Have a park that is well lit in the nighttime, tree lined, etc. Finally, once you build something great invest in some basic maintenance. This is the Achilles heel of anything new in Cupertino. It doesn't stay maintained. For example, the Blackberry Farm and McClellan Ranch was very unique when remodeled in 2009. But then 2 Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | B-27 Vision and Goals Questionnaire Summary OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER? years later all the bushes and plants that were planted were allowed to die and its now a jungle of dead bushes and weeds. Buy a lawn mower and weed whacker. Water the lawn once in a while. Get rid of the "funky feel." You know what I'm talking about (a beautiful park 75% and then the remaining 25% became a junkyard) or something completely out of place.  Keep the McClellan Ranch as a Preserve and expand it whenever that opportunity arises. Having a natural preserve in Cupertino is very important as is keeping it as natural as possible. It is unique and should not ever be developed in the same way as a city park. Restoring the land west of the creek and fully incorporating it into the rest of the preserve needs to be put near the top of the priority list. It has been near the bottom of the list for about 20 years! There is nothing in this questionnaire that even seems to address the needs or goals for this Nature Preserve which I thought was part of the Parks and Rec department.  "Just have clean and well maintained parks with large multiple use fields.  Most of the ideas in the survey sounded like nonsense."  Please fill in the pond at memorial park. And replace with usable space. It could be for games and it would make festivals so much better.  be mindful of enough shade and trees for each park. Some parks have lost their trees with no replacement trees. Other parks have no shade in play areas. Need access for little ones to have play areas, as well.  I strongly believe that protecting the native landscape and wildlife should be a goal of the master plan.  Improve Wifi  Get attractions other than food and Apple.  Invludedpevial needs children in your programs  lots of shade. trees were taken away and not replaced. there are areas to play with no shade at all  Protect our remaining natural areas and the wildlife that life in them. It is unique to Cupertino and the Santa Clara county area. It is Cupertino's treasure and we need to care for it.  "Better use of Blackberry Farm pool - adult encouragement, aqua classes, lap swimming  Don't forget that we are in the USA and other cultures, while fun to visit, should not supersede our long time traditions."  When you talk about special events it should be all inclusive. How about St. Patrick Day? And have a cultural eleison there to explain the Customs the history and just give out general information if people have questions  "Put the priority on providing:  healthy, well-maintained trees and native plants  an environment that is wild-life friendly  promoting the value of native plantings/healthy trees for human and other species. Create environments that promote quality of life."  No.  Please keep in mind the concept of 'over development' - please keep any changes simple so that each park retains some sort of main objective rather than trying to do too many things in each place. If one or two parks can carry the load (offering the many things the survey asks about) then make it Memorial Park and perhaps another one in 'east' Cupertino. Central, easy to get to.  Green space and light are going away as local communities are building higher density and much taller structures. Communities (not just Cupertino) should put a MUCH higher priority to PLAN FOR UNIMPACTED areas for public to enjoy, without having to go too far from their residential home.  We need more county run indoor water parks and water based play areas. Too much focus on pushing the kids into activity. Where is the fun?  "1. Focus some resources for neighborhood connecting special events, pop-up family fun aimed at young (and extended families) B-28 | Parks & Recreation System Master Plan Appendix B: Open-Ended Responses OPEN-ENDED QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY OTHER GOALS OR IMPORTANT IDEAS SHOULD THE MASTER PLAN CONSIDER?  2. Continue planning golf course renovation in a way that does not eliminate par 4 holes and incorporate adjacent city land into plan, reducing size of family putting areas for families (shown in 2016 concept)."  Partner with nearby or park's neighborhood companies to provide funding or contribution for the park improvement  Keep the golf course!  Have an indoor basketball court/improve existing courts/expand courts  Everything is well.  Let us play on our devices.  Provide more afterschool cares/classes.  Resolve the situation with the ponds in Memorial Park. (Recycled water, replace with new features, ???)  really try to improve social opportunities for the seniors at the Cupertino Senior Center, since we seniors are the ones that need social interactions the most. Thanks.  Adding lights to outdoor pickleball courts so that pickleball can be played in the evening outdoors. There are currently NO lighted outdoor courts where pickleball can be played in the evening. Please add more space where pickleball can be played indoors too. Please make some changes to the Cupertino Sports Center!! Kids camps are occupying the indoor gym so that there is absolutely no opportunities to play pickleball indoors for the whole summer which does not seem fair. Please make these considerations for I am not the only one that has these concerns. Thank you.  Make it more pet friendly in general! Lots of pets in the community  Our elderly and limited mobility residents do not always feel comfortable in our parks due to lack of benches, poor access, loose dogs, and careless bike riders. The parks can be their only access to outdoor activities and their needs must be considered.  Improve maintenance in the Stevens Creek Trail general area  "more creek and other habitat restoration  more nature and wildlife interpretation programs for adults and children"  Do not take on future liability when adding creeks to the system.  Don't put any more structures, such as restrooms in neighborhood parks.  Cupertino should expand its park network. I Personally find memorial park to be depressing in uninviting. Considering the amount of money that the city of Cupertino generates in property taxes it really is doing a poor job of providing parks to its citizens. I'm glad you're doing a survey for the lawn the next 20 years but realistically you need to improve this immediately in the next three years. Factoring in the amount of money the city has the park system is horrible compared to other parts of the country  The Cupertino Sports Center is an excellent facility for residents. An outdoor facility for people to walk/jog/bike 3-5 miles outdoors like the Saratoga trail along the railroad track would help and encourage residents to walk/run safely.  Better service to the public, people who work for parks & rec, should be train to understand the different cultures and age groups that are part of our city.  No  Safe parks  Interconnected trails suitable for biking to work, parks or retail outlets. Current creekside trail by Bollinger/Lawrence dead ends without connection.  No.  save city money  "- Safety of the park, we may add security camera to prevent the crime.- tranquility for the resident living close to the park"  Please add walking trails to Hoover Park.  Keep BlackBerry Farm golf course!!

Building on the Parks and Recreation Commission comments on the geographic analysis, the preliminary  opportunities analysis presents this memo and a series of maps and information illustrating potential  opportunities for enhancing the park and recreation system through the year 2040.  Four opportunities  are presented for discussion:   Opportunity A: Expand the System    Opportunity B: Connect the System    Opportunity C: Foster Natural Systems   Opportunity D: Diversify Recreation Facilities  These four opportunities will be discussed with the Parks and Recreation Commission to provide  guidance for the Needs and Opportunities Analysis. The packet includes the City’s park and facility  inventory matrix and maps in the order they are referenced. The maps are numbered by the opportunity  they represent (A‐C), except where maps from the previous Geographic Analysis are cross‐referenced  for comparison (i.e., Map 1B). There is a summary series of “big” questions about key topics at the end  of the document.  OPPORTUNITY A: EXPAND THE SYSTEM  The City of Cupertino uses two metrics to measure park land needs: park acreage (level of service) and  park access (distance traveled from a home to a nearby park). Both are considered in the discussion of  opportunities to expand the park system by acquiring park land.   Park Acreage   The City currently owns or manages 223.5 acres of park land.1 This means the City provides park land at  a level of service of approximately 3.6 acres per 1,000 residents.2 General Plan Policy RPC‐1.2 directs the  City of Cupertino to provide a minimum of three acres per 1,000 residents. The City currently exceeds  that target. Strategy RPC‐1.2.2 recommends exploring increasing the park land standard to five acres per  1,000 residents in this current master planning effort.                                                               1 As noted in the inventory matrix in the materials that follow, this includes City owned community parks, large  neighborhood parks, small neighborhood parks, special use parks and trails corridors. It also includes the school  sports fields managed by the City through a joint use agreement with the School District.  2 As per City estimates, the current population is 62,545 (2015). The future population is estimated at 71,200 (2040  ABAG Projection), as noted in the Demographic Analysis (RHAA, April 2016).  2 |  Parks & Recreation System Master Plan   Preliminary Opportunities Analysis         To evaluate acreage needs associated with expanding the park system and to discuss target service  levels for the future, Table 1 illustrates acreage needs at 3, 3.6, and 5 acres per 1,000 residents in 2040.  Since the City is projected to grow through the year 2040 (increasing by 8,655 residents), more park land  (32.8 acres) will be needed just to maintain the existing level of service of 3.6 acres per 1,000 residents.  A substantial amount of land (132.5 acres) would be needed to achieve a level of service of 5 acres per  1,000 residents.  TABLE 1: PARK LAND LEVEL OF SERVICE AND ACREAGE NEEDS IN 2040*

**County parks and regional open space preserves include acreage both inside and outside the city limits.  Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | 3   Preliminary Opportunities Analysis    Key Findings   Other local parks (under private ownership and management) help meet needs beyond  what the City provides. With them, Cupertino residents currently have access to 4.6 acres  per 1,000 residents.   The large County park and regional open space add far more park land within the city and  just beyond the city limits. City park land guidelines should consider the availability of this  acreage.   Maintaining the joint use agreements with schools is important. If the school sport fields  managed through joint use agreements were not available, the City would provide only 2.84  acres per 1,000 residents currently. In the future, there may be an opportunity to expand  the joint use agreements to include other schools or additional outdoor recreation spaces at  schools. That would help expand the system.   The General Plan proposed the addition of three new neighborhood parks at 3.5 acres each  to serve underserved residential areas. The City has planned additional trail development as  well. Given those plans, the City has an opportunity to maintain its existing level of service  at 3.6 acres of per 1,000 residents, potentially by providing a mix of more neighborhood  park land, trail corridors and expanded school joint use sites.    If the City wants to increase its park land standard to 5.0 acres/1,000 residents, it will need  to prioritize land acquisition. Given other important community priorities, the high cost and  low availability of land, and the availability of additional park space provided by the County  and other providers, it does not appear that this higher level of service standard is  warranted.  Park Access   Map 1 of the geographic analysis evaluated access to neighborhood park facilities, consistent with  Cupertino General Plan Policy RPC‐2.4. This policy guides the City of Cupertino to ensure that “each  home is within a ½ mile walk of a neighborhood park or a community park with neighborhood facilities  (emphasis added).”   The Park and Recreation Commission requested a broader consideration of the types of park space  counted in satisfying Policy RPC‐2.4.  This is important because of the direction it provides in expanding  the system of park land.  Opportunity Map A uses Network Analyst Extension3 to illustrate areas served within a ¼ mile (easy  walking distance) and ½ mile (walking or biking distance) of the following types of parks:   City community parks;   City large neighborhood parks;   City small neighborhood parks;   City special use sites;    School athletic fields (managed by the City; available during non‐school hours);                                                               3 ArcGIS Network Analyst provides network‐based spatial analysis tools. It uses a configurable transportation network data  model, allowing organizations to accurately represent their unique network requirements (e.g.: determining areas around the  parks that fall within a specified distance from the parks along the road network rather than using a simple buffer around the  parks without taking the mode of travel into consideration).  4 |  Parks & Recreation System Master Plan   Preliminary Opportunities Analysis          Quasi‐public local parks and recreation resources (in private ownership but open for public  use), such as Deep Cliff Golf Course, Rancho Rinconada, SCVWD Percolation Pond, Cali Mill  Plaza, Town Square, and Cupertino City Center Park; and   County parks.  The map excludes linear trail corridors (e.g., Saratoga Creek Trail and Don Burnett Bridge) and  Midpeninsula Regional Open Space Preserves (e.g., Fremont Older).  The map highlights unserved areas zoned for residential use in yellow:   Bright yellow illustrates Single Family Residential (R1), Single Family Residential Cluster  (R1C), Residential Duplex (R2), Multiple Family Residential (R3), and Mixed Use Planned  Development (P) inclusive of residential uses. The R1, R2, R2 and R1C allows for various  residential uses with densities ranging from 2.0 to 9.0 dwelling units per acre. The P district  allows higher density residential uses within a mixed‐use urban setting as densities can vary  per district.   Pale yellow illustrates less‐dense Residential Hillside (RHS) areas. The RHS district allows  large lot single‐family residential development with minimum lot sizes ranging from a half  acre to 10 acres in size to accommodate hillside terrain. Residential densities can range from  0.1 to 2.0 dwelling units per acre.  Several of these zoned residential areas are not currently developed, but could be developed over the  next 20 years.    This map can be compared to Map 1B4 from the Geographic Analysis (see map packet) showing access  to neighborhood parks and community parks providing neighborhood facilities. Neighborhood facilities  were defined as containing play areas and picnic facilities or tables for gatherings.   Key Findings   There are six opportunity areas to improve park service in denser residential areas. Most are  in north Cupertino (Gap areas 1, 2 and 3).   Homes in the Residential Hillside areas are unserved. There is an opportunity to rethink the  provision of park land in RHS areas. Given the lower density of residential development in  RHS zones, these homes may not need park land with ½ mile.   School sports fields managed by the City play a key role in meeting close‐to‐home park  needs. The City could investigate the opportunity to include Lawson Middle School and  Sedgwick Elementary in joint use agreements and/or explore the joint development of  neighborhood park facilities on land in that area to better serve Gap area 4.   The City also could investigate the opportunity to expand joint use agreements with School  Districts to make play equipment and outdoor sports courts available after school hours.  These amenities are not included in current joint use agreements.   Gap areas 2, 3 and 5 are near proposed trail corridors. If neighborhood park land is not  available for acquisition, the City may consider opportunities to provide pocket parks along  the trails with play elements (e.g., outdoor exercise equipment or nature play), seating  areas and other elements to help address needs.                                                                4 Map 1B displays all properties with residential zoning that lie outside the ½ mile walking or biking distance to a  public park with a play area and picnic facilities. (Map 1A, previously shown but not included here, displayed the  unserved residential zoned parcels that are inhabited.)  Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | 5   Preliminary Opportunities Analysis     The small unnumbered gap south and west of Somerset Park is near a potential trail corridor  that is currently being evaluated for feasibility (U.P. Railroad trail). (See Opportunity B.)   There is an opportunity to define guidelines and minimum requirements for “neighborhood  park” and “neighborhood facilities.”  This will influence the sites considered for acquisition,  plus provide direction for park development and partnerships in underserved areas. The  following should be considered:  o Whether the park is open and available during regular park hours.  o The amenities and facilities provided (e.g., whether the site includes basic amenities  such as play features and gathering space).  o Park size. [Note: RPC‐1.2.1 notes the preferred size for neighborhood parks is 3.5  acres. Six existing parks are smaller, with four less than 1.0 acre and one less than  0.5 acres.]  o Whether the park is owned by the City and/or managed by the City, or is dedicated  for public use (versus sites that are not).  o Whether the park is designed for general, multi‐purpose neighborhood or  community use (i.e., not a golf course, dog park, urban commercial plaza, trail  corridor, open space preserve, or community/recreation building).   There is an opportunity to explore other options to address needs in unserved areas, such as  using street rights of way for permanent or temporary park space and mobile recreation  programming and pop‐up activities to address neighborhood needs in underserved areas.    OPPORTUNITY B: CONNECT THE SYSTEM  In a well‐designed community, homes, parks, schools and other public facilities are connected by safe  walking and biking routes. Such routes improve access to parks, connect community destinations,  reduce traffic congestion and support recreation and health benefits.  The City of Cupertino has already begun the work of reviewing the existing street network and looking  for new opportunities to improve alternative modes of transportation through the construction of Class  I Bike Paths, Class II Bike Lanes, Class III Bike Routes and Bike Boulevards and Class IV Protected  Bikeways.    Class I Bike Paths are all‐weather, separate off‐street rights‐of‐ways mostly in parks and  along natural, utility or transportation corridors. The key element of a Class I bike path is  that it is "separated" from street traffic, providing safer conditions for bicyclists and  pedestrians. Note that as used in this Master Plan, a Class I designates a bicycle‐pedestrian  off‐street path, but does not necessarily adhere to design criteria for a Caltrans Class 1 path.   Class II and III Bike Lanes and Bike Routes provide designated on‐street areas or shared lane  use for bike travel.   Class IV Protected Bikeways provide on‐street bike routes that are buffered from traffic.  Opportunity Map B illustrates existing and proposed pedestrian and bicycle connectivity throughout the  City.  Proposed routes are based on recommendations in the City’s adopted General Plan, the 2016  Bicycle Transportation Plan and the in‐process Draft Pedestrian Plan. The map also highlights paths and  trails that represent key opportunities to connect parks with multi‐use trails and/or Class I paths.  Key Findings   There are three existing Class I‐style bike paths in Cupertino: Don Burnette‐Pedestrian  Bridge and Homestead Road to Mary Avenue Trail, Stevens Creek Trail and Saratoga Creek  6 |  Parks & Recreation System Master Plan   Preliminary Opportunities Analysis         Trail. There are opportunities to better connect these popular multi‐use paths to more  locations, such as extending the Mary Avenue Trail to Memorial Park.   An extension of the Stevens Creek Trail southward is planned to connect McClellan Ranch  Preserve to Linda Vista Park via a Class I‐style bike path, at such time as use of the property  becomes available. The City could explore these additional opportunities:  1) connect Linda  Vista Park to Stevens Creek County Park in the south; and 2) connect Stocklmeir Ranch to  Varian Park to the north, if feasible, which could also provide a safer route to school for  Stevens Creek Elementary students. This could ultimately connect Varian Park to the County  Park via the Stevens Creek corridor.    On the south side of I‐280, the City is studying the feasibility of implementing a trail along  the Junipero Serra Channel. The City could explore options to connect the east end of a  Junipero Serra Channel trail to the Saratoga Creek Trail.   The planned Union Pacific Railroad Trail, if it is found feasible, presents an opportunity to  provide better connectivity to adjoining schools, as well as the SCVWD Percolation Pond and  proximity to Hoover Park. The City could investigate the opportunity to connect this trail  north to Somerset Park which borders the railroad, and then continue and eventually  connect to trails on the eastern edges of Rancho Antonio County Park.    There is an opportunity to extend the proposed Class 1‐style path near Wilson Park along  Regnart Creek, connecting the Library, City Hall and Community Hall to Wilson Park and  Creekside Park. There is an additional opportunity to extend the trail north from Creekside  Park, along the Calabazas Creek, to the trail along the Junipero Serra Channel.  Depending  on the nature of improvements at Library Field and the Civic Center (see Opportunity D),  then the City could strengthen the path trail connection from the Library to Cupertino High  School.   Buffered Class IV bike boulevards are proposed on several arterials, which would connect  Memorial Park to the Stevens Creek Corridor and to Jollyman Park, as well as the Civic  Center and Wilson Park.    There is an opportunity to connect other parks through transportation improvements to  provide Class II or III bike lanes or bike routes.     OPPORTUNITY C: FOSTER NATURAL SYSTEMS   Nature is very important to Cupertino residents. Habitat is also essential to a variety of species in  Cupertino. There are numerous species of birds and bats that live in or frequent Cupertino. There are  also a wide range of urban animals and wildlife species. The steelhead in Stevens Creek and their habitat  are federally protected. Outside the City, additional sensitive species live in the surrounding foothills and  along San Francisco Bay.  Cupertino is also located between the Santa Cruz foothills and San Francisco Bay, which are both rich  with a diversity of plant and animal life, both resident and migratory. The western edge of Cupertino  abuts a series of regional open space preserves with large acreages of intact natural systems and  habitats.    In contrast, there is very little habitat in City parks. Most of Cupertino’s park system is composed of  large manicured turf areas, whether used for programmed recreation or open use areas. Within the City  park system, the major stands of existing habitat are limited to seven locations, six of which are in the  Stevens Creek Corridor. Habitat areas include the following:  Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | 7   Preliminary Opportunities Analysis     Stevens Creek Corridor is the richest natural resource area within the City park system given  its continuous, riparian nature. Stocklmeir Ranch, Blackberry Farm Golf Course, Blackberry  Farm Park, McClellan Ranch Preserve, McClellan Ranch West, and Linda Vista Park all  provide habitat and natural resource areas.   Three Oaks Park has an established tree canopy which covers the entire site and defines the  park.   Adjacent open space preserves and County parks provide significant amounts of habitat.   Creek corridor lands owned by others, such Saratoga, Calabazas, Regnart and Permanente  creeks, provide important habitat and wildlife benefit.  Key Findings   Most neighborhoods in Cupertino lack access to habitat areas.   The largest amount of habitat is provided by adjacent open space preserves and County  parks.   Stevens Creek corridor is the primary habitat area within the City park system. There are  opportunities to extend and further enhance the Stevens Creek corridor’s natural and  riparian areas for habitat.   There are opportunities to enhance the riparian corridors along segments of the Regnart,  Calabazas and Saratoga Creeks, as well as along the Junipero Serra Channel and potentially  Permanente Creek, to provide habitat corridors through the City to better connect with  existing habitat in the foothills and along the Bay. Restoration and habitat enhancement in  these corridors will require coordination with other agencies. Removing invasive species,  addressing bank erosion and improving water quality and flood capacity would increase the  functional aspects of these corridors as well as improve habitat and connectivity to larger  natural areas for native species. The opportunities are greater along those sections that  connect to and through City parks – such as from City Hall to Wilson and Creekside Parks –  and where more continuous sections of habitat are more likely to be achieved and City  property can be best leveraged.   There are more opportunities to foster natural systems by creating pollinator pathways  through the City, taking advantage of the rights‐of‐way along some of the larger arterials to  create a gridded network of habitat within the urban core of Cupertino. This can help  supplement the riparian corridors which are typically more protected and removed from  traffic by providing additional connectivity to habitat to our critical pollinator populations.   In many cases, the opportune locations to provide natural and riparian areas as well as  pollinator pathways overlap with trail corridors; where these coincide are opportunities to  provide multi‐beneficial corridors which leverage resources and budgets, maximizing the  positive impacts of these investments. Some of the proposed corridors involve Santa Clara  Valley Water District infrastructure which adds considerable challenge given the complexity  of flood control practices and the coordination needed.     Focusing on humans, there are opportunities to make nature more accessible and provide connection to  nature for Cupertino residents by removing unused or under‐used areas of lawn in City parks and  replacing them with pollinator gardens, native plant species and trees with large canopies.   Pollinator gardens attract birds, bees, butterflies and beneficial insects while also providing seasonal and  visual interest for residents. Removing under‐utilized lawn areas and replacing them with native plants  reduces water needs, changes maintenance from frequent mowing and fertilizing to weeding and  seasonal trimming, provides people to nature connections throughout the City increasing access both  8 |  Parks & Recreation System Master Plan   Preliminary Opportunities Analysis         for the pollinators and people. Pollinator gardens can vary in size – even small areas of native plantings  can provide habitat and thereby enrich residents’ park experience with nature viewing and connections.  Pollinator gardens need shallow areas of standing water for the pollinators. Bird baths or rocks with  shallow depressions that are filled frequently by irrigation or manually are important. Water can  evaporate during the day and should to avoid vector control issues. Bird houses, bee nesting blocks,  vegetation for forage and cover, and protected, non‐mulched ground areas for ground‐nesting bees  should also be included.  Several of the larger parks have the space that would allow for denser native tree plantings to achieve a  “forest” in time. “Park forests,” in this case, refers specifically to a concentrated native tree planting that  establishes a large, contiguous tree canopy. Most of Cupertino’s parks are planted with ornamental and  non‐native species. These native forest “islands” of tree density add to the overall tree canopy, create  islands of native habitat refuge and connectivity for species with larger home ranges, and provide  additional respite areas for people. In addition to shade, a continuous tree canopy also provides above‐ ground habitat continuity. While trees have numerous environmental benefits, they also have proven  psychological and physical benefits to lower stress, increase productivity, reduce aggression, and  generally improve health. Additional tree canopy provides increased habitat for many bird species which  again benefits both birds and people; bird watching is one of the fastest growing forms of recreation.  There are opportunities to create or enhance “park forests” at the following City parks:   Jollyman Park   Linda Vista   Three Oaks Park – there is an existing canopy but successional plantings are needed to  sustain it as well as there being opportunities to improve the existing park forest  There are opportunities to create pollinator gardens at most City parks including the following:   Creekside Park   Wilson Park   Portal Park   Library Field   Jollyman Park   Three Oaks Park   Hoover Park   Memorial Park   Somerset Park   Varian Park   Linda Vista Park   Monta Vista Recreation Center & Park  Note: while components such as nature play areas and community gardens also engage people with  nature, for this discussion they are classified as forms of recreation and are discussed as part of  Opportunity D: Diversify Recreation Facilities.  OPPORTUNITY D: DIVERSIFY RECREATION FACILITIES  Cupertino provides a range of recreation facilities in its parks and recreation system. Some facilities are  unique and only occur in a single location – such as the Mary Avenue Dog Park – whereas other facilities  occur at numerous locations throughout the system – such as playgrounds.  Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | 9   Preliminary Opportunities Analysis    Currently, the City’s recreation amenities and facilities are fairly similar across the park system. There is  little to differentiate one facility from another. There are opportunities to diversify the recreation  facilities to provide a broader range of facilities, more unique facilities and experiences at those facilities  and/or facilities that respond to their site, their neighborhood’s culture, or other special considerations.   The community, through surveys and meetings, has identified a variety of recreation facility needs.  These include but are not limited to:   Performance/fine art center   Universal play area   Dog park   Nature play area   Community garden   Cricket field   Year‐round Pool or indoor/outdoor aquatic facility   Gymnasium   Expanded senior center   Improved Teen center/maker center   Expanded event space   Covered picnic shelters or picnic pavilions  There are few opportunities to acquire new land for these facilities. While the City may strive to acquire  additional land to meet neighborhood park and trails needs [see Opportunity A: Expand the System],  these parcels are likely to be smaller sites and linear corridors. This implies that any desired larger  facility would need to be in an existing park, on existing City property or developed jointly with another  party, such as the School District.   Most park lands are already developed, so locating a new facility into an existing park may require  moving or eliminating an existing facility to provide capacity. Not all parks are suitable for the provision  of larger scale specialized or unique facilities, which tend to draw a great level of use. For this reason,  Memorial Park is frequently mentioned as an opportunity for these new facilities. Memorial Park, being  centrally located and with reuse potential of the existing concrete pond, has the capacity to absorb  some new facilities but not everything proposed. Examining the existing parks and recreation system for  potential locations for these new facilities reveals some clear opportunities and areas for discussions  about trade‐offs.   Key Findings:   Several factors should be considered in planning and distributing specialized facilities. A market  study and feasibility analysis would help identify the size, amenities and potential locations for  major facilities such as a performing arts center or aquatic facility. These studies would take into  account factors such as revenue‐generating options and operational needs that, in part, would  drive space requirements and siting needs.   Memorial Park is a civic core park facility. It has the capacity to accommodate other facilities  that complement existing uses and increase the usability of the park. Per an agreement with  DeAnza College, this site also offers nearby parking for large group use. One of Memorial Park’s  main functions is as the City’s large event venue. Improvements could be made to this site to  improve functionality for events, improve the amphitheater and enhance opportunities for  10 |  Parks & Recreation System Master Plan   Preliminary Opportunities Analysis         indoor/outdoor events. A performing or fine arts center could be provided as an expansion of  the Quinlan Community Center to provide a mid‐size theater and additional program/meeting  space, maximizing the staffing and oversight that already exists at this location. Expanding the  existing senior center to include fitness space would keep programs focused there. There is an  opportunity to provide a universal play area at Memorial Park. A pool, depending on size and  programming needs, could be added to Memorial Park or Sports Center. However, there are  nearby (non‐city) pools in this part of the city, and the pool size/footprint would likely need to  be larger than the space available given other existing and proposed uses for these sites.   Library Field is under‐utilized as a cricket field, and a larger space for a full‐size cricket field is  needed. Relocating cricket to a better sized location would both improve cricket play as well as  open the Library Field space for other uses. Any new uses should be consistent with the  community function of this area as a civic center and event space, recognizing planned changes  addressed in the Civic Center Master Plan. There may be an opportunity to provide an indoor  facility to provide a maker/incubator space and additional community meeting and  programming space at Library Field. This move would build on library use for teen programs and  programs for all ages, plus address the lack of programming space at Community Hall.  Relocating cricket to another site such as Jollyman, Wilson or Creekside Parks might allow for an  improved facility that is sized appropriately for youth and adult play. However, existing soccer  and/or ball fields would be displaced, and programming at other fields may need to be modified  to accommodate some of the displaced use. A study is being initiated this fall by Public Works to  evaluate feasible locations for a full‐size cricket field.   A fenced off‐leash dog park (or a dog run, which is a smaller neighborhood‐friendly version of a  dog park) could be located in a variety of locations throughout the City. This includes  opportunities such as using open lawn areas that are not active sport fields at various city parks.   Nature play areas could also be incorporated into almost any park with existing play areas,  either as an additional form of play or as a replacement of existing play equipment as it needs  replacing. As nature is expanded in parks, the City should consider adding nature play in at least  a few locations. Pilot projects are an effective way to test options for new amenities and  facilities. The city may want to test nature play options at one site before incorporating them  into additional play areas.  QUESTIONS ABOUT PRELIMINARY OPPORTUNITIES  This memo raises the following questions for discussion by the Parks and Recreation Commission:   Should the City strive to maintain its existing level of service (3.6 acres per 1,000 residents) as  the population grows? (See Opportunity A: Expand the System)   Should the City expand the system by focusing on neighborhood parks, trails and increased  partnerships with schools? (See Opportunity A: Expand the System)   Are parks needed with ½ mile of homes in Residential Hillside zones? (See Opportunity A:  Expand the System)   Should General Plan Policy RPC‐2.4 be interpreted to refer to any City, County or privately  managed park or school recreation area that is open to the public for use—regardless of what  facilities are provided? (See Opportunity A: Expand the System)   Does the City need acquisition/design guidelines for neighborhood parks to identify minimum  size and facility needs? (See Opportunity A: Expand the System)  Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | 11   Preliminary Opportunities Analysis     Should the Master Plan expand on what’s noted in the 2016 Bicycle Transportation Plan to  emphasize bike/pedestrian connections that will 1) maximize access and connections to major  parks and recreation facilities; 2) support recreational uses? (See Opportunity B: Connect the  System)   Should the City strive to incorporate and restore habitat and native plantings in 1) all parks; 2)  parks along pollinator, habitat or riparian corridors; 3) additional riparian corridors; or 4) all of  the above? (See Opportunity C: Foster Natural Systems)   What are the best “big moves” for Memorial Park? (See Opportunity D: Diversify Recreation  Facilities)   What are the best “big moves” for Library Field, if any? (See Opportunity D: Diversify Recreation  Facilities)   Is the City more likely to support several big projects, lots of smaller enhancements or a mix of  large and small options? (See Opportunity D: Diversify Recreation Facilities)  ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Step 1 uses evaluation criteria to help determine which projects should be included in the Capital Improvements Project (CIP) list for the Parks & Recreation System Master Plan (Master Plan). The criteria are based on the community’s priorities and system needs, as identified through extensive community outreach and technical analysis. Step 2 helps review and sequence the projects in the Master Plan CIP to support project phasing and scheduling for implementation in coming years. MASTER PLAN PROJECT CRITERIA (STEP 1) The Step 1 screening criteria can be used in a simple fashion to sort projects to determine their eligibility for inclusion in the capital program. The criteria will help ensure that the projects included in the Master Plan are aligned community priorities, Master Plan goals and the specific needs of the park and recreation system. Screen A: Alignment with Master Plan Goals Use these criteria as a checklist to see how well the proposed project addresses Master Plan goals. Ensure each project advances at least one of the six goals. Note: Projects not aligned with at least one Master Plan goal will be excluded from the CIP and from further evaluation. Does the project: a. Protect nature, trees and natural areas in parks and throughout the city to support wildlife, ecological functions and a stronger connection to Cupertino’s natural environment? b. Create a walkable, bikeable and accessible city by providing an interconnected network of multiuse trails, walkways and bikeways, close-to-home parks, and community destinations? c. Reinvigorate and revitalize parks and recreation facilities and offerings to support broad and inclusive recreation interests? d. Support social gatherings, events, programs and activities for people of all ages, abilities, cultures, and interests?

Create high quality recreation experiences, places and services that are welcoming, responsive, comfortable and reflective of Cupertino’s unique character? f. Collaborate with partners and stakeholders to provide, manage and maintain high-quality parks, recreation facilities, trails and programs for Cupertino residents? Screen B: Alignment with Community Priorities These criteria can be used as checklist to evaluate the project to see how well it addresses the twelve key themes that emerged from the Master Plan outreach activities. Does the project: a. Protect nature or support nature experiences? b. Provide trail opportunities/improved connectivity? c. Support park and facility access (ADA, geographic, bike/pedestrian entry)? d. Increase the variety and diversity of recreation options? e. Support social gatherings, special events and celebrations? f. Provide unique or extraordinary play opportunities? g. Empower teens or youth? h. Reflect Cupertino’s unique character and identity? i. Improve user comfort, increase ease of use or create welcoming places and services? j. Support the Arts in our community? k. Promote partnerships? l. Support diverse cultural interests? Screen C: Alignment with Park and Recreation System Realities If the project advances Master Plan goals and responds to community priorities, evaluate the project against the following criteria. For similar projects or various alternatives for one project, these criteria will help decide which option to include in the Master Plan CIP. These criteria also are the first screening for project sequencing in Step 2. (Give one 1 point for each criterion the project will meet. The project or alternative with the higher score will advance.) Does/can the project: a. Repair or improve an existing site, asset or natural resource? b. Improve access to an existing site or asset? c. Improve service to residents and users, or improve the ability to provide high- quality service? d. Be implemented using existing park space or available space? e. Support multiple or flexible uses? f. Provide an opportunity or service not already available (e.g., meet an unmet need, address a gap in services, serve an underserved group). Parks & Recreation System Master Plan | 3 Parks and Recreation Prioritization Criteria (Draft) g. Improve the balance of amenities in the system? h. Benefit a large number of residents? i. Increase sustainability, reduce costs or increase maintenance and operational efficiencies? j. Use or leverage available resources (staffing, funding, partnerships, equipment)? k. If for an enterprise facility, increase the financial viability or sustainability of the facility? SEQUENCING CRITERIA (STEP 2) Phasing for the completion of Master Plan projects will be identified using the criteria noted below. The proposed criteria could be assigned individual weighting that reflects their importance. This scoring will help identify higher priority projects that should be initiated in the short-term (1-5 years), mid-term (6-15 years), and long term (16 years+). Staff will review the Master Plan capital projects list to determine which should be included in the City’s annual and five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP).  Screen C Criteria: At the time the project is reviewed for implementation, re-review the project against these criteria. How many of the criteria are achieved?  Safety and Use: Does it repair or replace unsafe or non-functioning amenities and facilities to improve safety or restore use?  Service Gaps: Does the project fill identified gaps in service or meet the needs of an underserved group or geographic area?  City Priority: Does the project coincide with or support another City project, goal or City Council initiative?  Timing: Does action need to be taken now before the opportunity is lost? Is project completion needed before another priority project can be started?  Staffing/Operations: Are staff and resources available to operate and maintain the site/facility?  Funding Availability: Is funding available for the project in the proposed time frame?  Outside Funding/Partnerships: Does the project leverage outside resources?  Ease of Implementation: Can the project be done quickly and easily? Have the necessary planning and feasibility studies already been completed?  Public Support: Does public support exist?  Value: Does the project deliver high value for the cost or resources needed, relative to other projects? \\CUPE-FS-1\City_Shares\Parks and Recreation Admin\P&R Commission\Work Plan\P & R FY17-18 Commission Workplan_draft_08.23.17.doc DEPARTMENT OF RECREATION & COMMUNITY SERVICES QUINLAN COMMUNITY CENTER 10185 N.

Description This project is to design and construct a new “green” meadow-style parking lot that is compatible with the creek environment at McClellan Ranch West, which will be designed to have minimal impact to the site. Discussion The McClellan Ranch West site has been used informally for staff and overflow parking without a suitable surface, and which is not available for use during wet weather due to mud. The opening of the Environmental Education Center in 2015 has increased the parking demand at the McClellan Ranch Preserve. The removal of the Simms house on the McClellan Ranch West site advances the option to provide the additional parking that is needed by providing a suitable parking surface. Sustainability Impact The parking lot will be constructed using a combination of pervious concrete paving and pervious structural soil, which will be seeded with natural grass to achieve a “meadow-like” appearance. Pervious concrete will be used for the daily visitor and staff parking. Pervious structural soil will be used for occasional, overflow parking to allow the grass to grow. The parking lot will be self-draining and not produce any surface runoff to the creek. The parking lot will be planted with additional trees and native plants as well. Fiscal Impact Funds for this project are allocated in the FY18 Capital Improvement Program. _____________________________________ Prepared by: Alex Acenas, Public Works Project Manager Reviewed by: Christine Hanel, Assistant Director of Recreation & Community Services Approved by: Christine Hanel, Assistant Director of Recreation & Community Services Attachment A: MRW Parking Lot + Aerial – Current Plan Attachment B: MRW Parking Lot + Aerial – Alternate Plan 6' T Y P . 18'- 5 " 20' T Y P . 24 ' T Y P . 20' T Y P . 18'- 1 0 " 25'- 6 " 24' T Y P .
