The City of Rosemead is located in the San Gabriel Valley in Los Angeles County. The City is easily
accessible by the broader Los Angeles county, as well as Ventura, Orange, and San Bernardino counties due
its convenient proximity to several freeways. The City of Rosemead encompasses approximately 5.2 square
miles and is home to nine parks, two swimming pools, and two recreation centers. The City offers a variety
of recreational opportunities for its 60,000 residents, which include sports, special interest classes, senior
programs, and community special events.
PARKS, RECREATION, AND GENERAL FACILITIES MASTER PLAN
City of Rosemead's comprehensive, long-term Parks, Recreation, and General Facilities Master Plan
will provide a strategy for making decisions with regard to policy operations, maintenance, and capital
improvements over the next 15 years. The plan will include short-term steps that can be taken in the next
few years, medium-term actions, ,and long-term strategies for implementation. In addition to the Parks,
Recreation, and General Facilities Master Plan, an element will be included outlining a feasibility study for the
development of open space/parkland/trails along the Southern California Edison Transmission Corridor.
' What is in a Master Plan?
• Vision for future parks and recreation
• Clear implementation strategies and recommendations for:
/ Improving today's parks and public spaces
/ Acquiring land for tomorrow's parks and public spaces
' / Developing parks, open space, and public trails along the Southern California Edison
Transmission Corridor
' / Funding sources for the park and public space system and the Department of Parks
and Recreation
' The Parks, Recreation, and Facilities Master Plan is an important step toward providing a better parks system
that will increase the quality of life and create new signature spaces for residents to enjoy. In addition, the
City's Master Plan will be a road map, setting out priorities for recreational needs and a resource document
' providing a guide for the orderly development and management of Parks and Recreation Facilities for the
City of Rosemead.

The development of the Parks, Recreation, and General Facilities Master Plan is built upon community
input, which will include community workshops, a statistically valid community-wide telephone survey,
focus groups, and a sports organization survey. In addition the City Staff, and the City Council will be
encouraged to participate in order to provide insight and guidance in this effort.
' RJM Design Group offers an extensive amount of experience in the suggested approach to preparing the
Park, Recreation, and General Facilities Master Plan for the City of Rosemead. This experience is based
' upon past involvement in the successful completion of numerous Park and Recreation Master Plans for
communities throughout California.
' Based upon our review of the Request for Proposals (RFP), RJM Design Group understands that the City
of Rosemead is seeking the services of a qualified professional consulting firm to produce a comprehensive
15-year Master Plan that will guide policy decisions regarding future development. RJM's understanding of
' the project has been derived from our conversations with staff, our research, and our project team's extensive
experience in the planning and development of parks and recreational facilities.
Understanding the recreation needs and preferences of Rosemead residents depends upon an understanding
of the population and its demographic characteristics. Our reent reserach of Rosemead's demographics is
as follows:
' 2008 Population: 57,422 (up 7.3% from 2000)
2008 Housing Units: 14,702 (up 2.5% from 2000)
• Median age is 32.3 years
' • 51.2% of households report having children under 18 years old
• Householders are predominantly Asian (primarily Chinese and Vietnamese) 44.7% with the secon
' largest group being Hispanic (39.2%)
This data will assist RJM Design Group, Inc. and City staff m understanding the unique park and recreational
needs of the community, as well as demographic information we will obtain through the community-wide
telephone survey.
' Understanding the vision for the City of Rosemead, combined with our extensive experience and the
information gathered during the preparation of this proposal, this effort will include the key services necessary
to complete the Master Plan summarized below:
O Data Collection and Analysis
• Inventory of Existing Public Facilities
' • Inventory of Existing Public Recreation Programs
• Needs Assessment which includes Three (3) Public Workshop and Two (2) Focus Groups, Interviews

Request for Proposal, RJM Design Group, Inc.
understands that the City of Rosemead is seeking the services of a qualified professional consulting
firm to prepare the feasibility study for developing open space, parkland, and public trails along Edison
transmission corridor. RJM's understanding of the project has been derived from our discussions with
City Staff and our firm's prior experience of similar facilities.
From the information gathered during the preparation of this proposal, we understand that the primary
objectives of the City of Rosemead project are as follows:
• Review project area regarding: resource conservation, security and accessibility.
• Evaluate feasibility of potential park uses.
• Identify any requirements and/or agreements necessary with Southern California Edison and/or other
existing property owners.
• Prepare estimated cost for property lease and/or acquisition.
• Prepare estimated cost for maintenance and operation.
• Identify liability and other risk exposure and mitigation improvements, and maintenance/operations.
• Provide assessment of traffic
• Identify all possible financial resources for development and operation.
' In summary, the potential linear park development will provide the community with additional outdoor
recreation opportunities. The park plan has the opportunity to provide a balanced by passive uses such as
picnicking, strolling and general open play and possible active recreation elements.
' Specific design elements should respond to accessibility, safety standards, and existing site conditions.
The general site development of the park will contribute to a cohesive sense of place and common focus
for the future of the community.

The approach incorporates techniques which we have used successfully on similar projects including
extensive coordination with the City and Agency Staff and integration of their expertise into the design
' process.
COORDINATION WITH CITY STAFF, RIVERS AND MOUNTAINS CONSERVANCY (RMC) AND
' S.C.E. REPRESENTATIVES
RJM's Design Team, individually and collectively, has directed many interdisciplinary planning and
' design projects. We have found that team work and close coordination between the client, consultants and
public agencies is essential to a successful project. We recognize that the design team will be responsible
for ensuring that a high degree of coordination occurs and the project milestones are met. A major priority
of the design team will be to establish a regular dialogue with the City Staff, RMC, and S.C.E. so that our
products reflect city/agency goals and policies.
' PROJECT MANAGEMENT

The importance of this project demands an organizational
framework which focuses specialists in varied disciplines
towards one common goal. Our Design Team has been
specially selected from the best talent available. Our
approach to this project is based on a strong relationship
between the team members and a thorough understanding of
the project requirements.
We suggest working with a representative from the City that
will form the conduit through which all project information
is exchanged and relayed to the proper audiences.
Our objective is to define the problem, gather all pertinent facts, analyze the information, develop the best
alternatives, and select the most viable solutions for implementation. It is the responsibility of our Design
Team Leader to ensure that the team is efficiently moving in the right directions in accordance with the
project requirements and the desires of the City of Rosemead.
CORRIDOR PLANNING WORKSHOP
We have developed a process that combines our planning and design expertise with the talents and
knowledge of City/Agency staff. We strongly believe that
this approach will add depth and vision to the overall plan.
The Design Team suggests a workshop with City Staff,
S.C.E. representatives and representatives from the RMC.
The workshop will be conducted by the Design Team to
clarify project goals, obtain comment, and in general open
the lines of communication between all involved parties.
We propose to work closely with the City Staff to organize
and further define the approach to be used in this element

DESIGN ALTERNATIVES
The Design Team has found that alternative plans are developed more efficiently through a systematic
process of concept development, interdisciplinary review/critique and refinement. Frequent dialogue among
the City Staff and Design Team Members is a dynamic and effective way to structure efficient design
concepts. This process results in rapid consensus on the major components of alternative plans. Throughout
the design process, park security and visibility will be of utmost importance. The proposed design
solutions will provide for resource conservation, security, access, minimize maintenance costs, and provide
maximum protection from vandalism and provide creative solutions to current S.C.E. development criteria.

efficient and effective tool for the development, management
and operation of the parks, programs and services specific to
the needs of each community.
The second phase of the project will involve a thorough
Community Inventory Analysis. We will conduct a
Citywide tour, with City staff, to inventory and assess
the recreation facilities, open space, parks, and recreation
facilitie. A complete inventory of recreation programs
and services offered within the last 2 years will take
place simultaneously. City planning documents, facility
and field scheduling, joint use agreements, and site plans
are studied, and research regarding the demographics
and recreation trends are considered so that a complete
understanding of the unique community characteristics
and policies will be considered throughout the process of
developing the Parks, Recreation, and General Facilities
Master Plan.

Understanding the recreation needs and preferences of the City of Rosemead residents depends upon
an understanding of the population and its demographic characteristics. Steps in this process involve
a review of data regarding Rosemead's population base as
defined in recent Census data, as well as updates to the current
year of key variables as provided by the California Department
of Finance.
Demographic data regarding age, household size, ethnic
profile and income characteristics will be obtained for the City
of Rosemead as available. Trends in these measures, which
tend to be highly correlated with recreation patterns, will be
examined. Today's decisions regarding recreation facilities
and programs need to accommodate both population growth as

well as changes in demography. The historic data will be analyzed and projections of future population
will be prepared using information and input from other agencies and City staff. This evaluation will
provide estimates of the current population base and projections of future growth.
The next phase, and perhaps the most important, is the Needs Assessment. This will include an extensive
community outreach effort and a statistically valid demand and needs analysis that is unique to the community.
The community outreach effort consists of a community wide telephone survey, community workshops,
focus groups, and community questionnaires. In addition to the demand/needs analysis, we conduct a park
acreage analysis and service area/facility distribution analysis. All of these `needs assessment tools' are
considered and the facility and program needs are prioritized based on commonalities and frequency of
issues identified from the various research and analysis tools.
The final phases include the Recommendations and Implementation portion of the project. These phases also
includes the preparation of the Master Plan document and presentation to Commission and City Council.
We believe the Master Plan document should identify and address the unique issues within the community,
carry out the intent of the General Plan Goals and Policies, as well as determining the community's unique
recreation facility and program needs.
' RJM's Consultant Team, individually and collectively, has directed many interdisciplinary community
planning projects. We have found that teamwork and close coordination between the consultants and public
agencies is essential to a successful project. We recognize that the design team will be responsible for
1 ensuring that a high degree of coordination occurs and that project milestones are met. A major priority of
the consultant team will be to establish a regular dialogue with the community, City Staff, Commission and
Council, and interested parties so that our products reflect community goals and City policies.
Sample Management. By using a statistically random sampling technique, accurate estimates of the
proportion of the population base that participates as well as the proportion and characteristics of those who
do not participate in each of the activities being analyzed can be obtained. The validity of the sample will be
managed through the use of tools such as the following:
• Random telephone number selection.
• Comparisons of key data developed through the survey
process to known benchmark statistics (i.e. U.S. Census)
assuring that the sample is representative of the universe
of households.
This sample management will be a function of survey design and the
' Response to Regzzest for Proposal I 22
' Parks, Recreation, and General Facilities Muster Plan for the City of Rosemead
ongoing supervision of the field work.
Questionnaire Design. The Consultants will design a
questionnaire for the survey to be conducted by telephone. The
subject areas of this interview may include, but are not limited to,
' selected demography and attitudes regarding recreation facilities
and current usage patterns of community/neighborhood parks
and recreation facilities. Profiles of users and non-users will be
' developed and reasons for non-use explored. Most importantly,
RJM
D£SION GROUP.INC.
respondents will be questioned regarding how frequently they,
' and all members of their household, participate in the various activities that most commonly occur in local
parks. The answers to this questioning will be used to develop participation rates specific to the residents of
Rosemead.
' Data will be collected by supervised professional interviewers using the resources of a professional field
research facility. Ten percent of the total interviews will be validated for accuracy by supervisory staff of
' the field research firm.
Processing. After editing and coding are completed, the interviews will then be computer-processed with
' appropriate cross-tabulations specified. The Consultant will prepare a written summary of the findings of the
research. These findings will include a detailed analysis of the results of each area of inquiry.
' ~

The objective of the data analysis is aimed at determining the recreational preferences or demands of the
residents and to estimate the type and number of facilities necessary to satisfy those preferences. These
estimates answer the questions of what and how many facilities should be built. It is the job of the Consultant
Team and City policy makers to determine how, where and when these common facilities will be provided.
In order to determine the specific needs for parks, recreation facilities and programs within the City of
Rosemead, it is first necessary to define the unique participation patterns and resulting facility usage of the
residents of Rosemead.
Participation rates in a comprehensive variety
of recreation activities will be developed
specifically for residents of Rosemead, based on
the phone survey data and data compiled through
governmental and professional organization
sources within the recreation industry, in addition
to community research. These participation rates
will be adjusted according to various demographic
measures in order to make projections into the
future, which take into consideration the changing
demographic profile as determined by the
demographic projections.

An integral component in the development of community recreation/park facilities is our utilization of
a comprehensive public participation workshop process. The community will participate in a series of
input sessions and will be informed of the Master Plan process. The results of the telephone survey
will be presented to the community in the course of the workshop presentations and additional comments
solicited. The outcome of these sessions will provide important input to
prioritization of future park, recreation, and open space development in
the City of Rosemead. Questionnaires will also be handed out during the
workshop, which will help facilitate organization of community input,
issues and concerns.
The Consultant Team in concert with City Staff will preside over a series
of community workshop. The workshop will focus on what the public
sees as community characteristics, issues, and current opportunities
and constraints to address the community's issues. The next step of the
workshop will focus on special interest or sports groups their
experiences with the recreation programs and facilities in the City
of Rosemead. The final procedure of the workshop will reflect
the citizens input from the first two forums, summarize the Master
Plan process, and seek public comment regarding prioritization of
recreation facility and program needs.
We propose to work closely with City Staff to organize and further
define the approach to be used in this process. A properly designed
public participation program will ensure that opportunities for
public review and comment occur at the appropriate stage in
the process. Participants in the workshop should include the
Community Services Commission, community leaders, special interest group representatives, City Staff,
City Council, Business Interests, School District, Homeowners Associations, Seniors Groups and the
community at large.
Please note that the objective of the Master Plan "workshop"
process is to allow for a diverse group of community members
and user groups with different objectives to work together and to
begin to develop consensus as to the most appropriate and best use
of the community resources. It is our goal to assist the community
through a carefully scripted workshop process that provides for
an appropriate forum for discussion of recreational facilities and
programs. Again, we look forward to discussing this process, the
schedule and project milestones with the City staff.

This evaluation will provide estimates of the current population base and projections of future
growth over the next 15 years. Detailed demographic data regarding such variables as age,
presence of children, ethnicity, household size, and income characteristics will be analyzed
in order to identify special populations such as seniors, teens, preschoolers, etc. for use in the
demand analysis. Special attention will be given to any sub-groups of the population which
show unusual trends of change.
Analysis of Demand for Parks and Recreation Services Within Rosemead.
In order to determine the current and forecast needs for parks and recreation facilities within
Rosemead, it is first necessary to define the recreation usage patterns and resulting park
facility usage of the residents of the City. Several sources of information will be used to
fully identify the needs and priorities for park facilities and related recreation programs in
Rosemead.
' A. Recreation Activity Participation Rates and Standards
Over the last 30 years, a number of national and State base studies have been prepared to
' define population participation rates for a wide variety of recreation and park activities.
However, these rates have been determined to be inaccurate for use at the local level
and are no longer recommended for such use. Their inadequacies are grounded in their
' inability, from a National or State perspective, to represent the population and recreation
needs of a local jurisdiction.
' Techniques described below will generate participation rates which are specific to the
current residents of Rosemead. These rates will then be used to determine the recreation
' needs which are unique to the City.
B. Telephone Survey
'
The Consultant recommends random sample telephone interviewing as the most effective
and statistically reliable method to generate unbiased, detailed and accurate data regarding
' the true current demand for recreation facilities and programs specific to the City of
Rosemead. All other survey methods (mail surveys, web-based surveys, on-site interviews,
' focus groups, etc.) derive results that may be biased or not statistically representative of

respondents can be questioned regarding how frequently they, and all members of their
household, participate in the various activities which most commonly occur in local parks.
The answers to this questioning will be used to develop current participation rates specific
to the residents of Rosemead.
For the telephone survey, we recommend completion of 250 questionnaires among a
random sample of Rosemead resident households, yielding an error margin of ~ 6.3% at
a 95% confidence level, with a questionnaire length of approximately 10 minutes. This
scope assumes that the primary language of the survey will be English with up to 35% of
the interviews conducted in other languages (Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese) as required
by the respondents. This work effort will facilitate an understanding of the differences in
recreation attitudes, patterns, and preferences of distinct population groups that comprise
the City. Statistically reliable analysis of the results of the survey questions may be
available for up to two geographic areas of the City (to be determined with Staff) as
well as a menu of respondent and response variables (e.g., ethnicity, presence of children,
income, frequency of recreation facility or program use, etc.)
The integrity of the responses to the telephone survey will be assured through professional
interview techniques. Data will be collected by supervised professional interviewers using
the resources of a professional field research facility. Ten percent of the total interviews
will be validated for accuracy by supervisory staff of the field research firm.
The Consultant will prepare a written summary of the findings of the survey research.
These findings will include a detailed analysis of the results of each area of inquiry as well
differences in attitudes or recreation patterns that are apparent when examined by distinct
population groups that comprise the City.
Phone conference with City to review subject areas of custom survey questionnaire
and demographics.
C. Sports Organization Survey
Soliciting the attitudes and perceived needs of community stakeholders is an essential
element in the process. This survey can not only achieve the objective of outreach to these
community stakeholders, it further provides valuable information regarding facility usage,
team size, recreation seasonality, player volume that is most important in the foundation
of the facility needs calculation. The consultants will provide a survey form containing
questions relevant to the usage of City recreation facilities by sports organizations in the
City. It is expected that the City will take responsibility for distributing these forms to the
organized sports groups within the City and following up to assure that each group returns
a completed survey. For those groups who do not return survey information, City staff
' will be expected to provide as much information as possible based on their knowledge of
the sports organizations in the City. The results will then be tabulated and used to verify
and update the resident survey-based participation rates in these sports for use in the
demand analysis. The consultants will use the data as provided to verify and update the
participation rates in these sports for use in the demand analysis.

2. Community Workshop #2
The second workshop will focus on a special interest group (i.e. sports group) and
their experiences with the recreation programs and facilities in the City of Murrieta.
3. Community Workshop #3
The final workshop will reflect the citizen input from the focus groups, phone survey,
and the first two workshops, summarize the Master Plan process, and seek public
comment regarding prioritization of recreation facility and program needs.
Development of Facility Standards.
The results of the telephone survey regarding the level of participation in a specific variety
of recreation activities by the residents of Rosemead will be calculated and arrayed as a
starting point in the analysis. Using a statistical analysis technique which the Consultants
have developed for similar studies done elsewhere, the participation rates will be converted
into peak day demand estimates for each of the types of recreation activities. By applying
design standards, which will be developed in conjunction with the City staff, an estimate of
the number of facilities of each type required to satisfy the current and projected demand will
be determined. These relationships can be converted into facility standards or "facility need
ratios" which relate specifically to the City of Rosemead. They will take the format of one
facility required for every X thousand population and will be specific to a menu of different
types of recreation facilities. These measures of facility need will be used to determine how
many of each type of facility (e.g., ball fields by type, tennis courts, picnic tables, etc.) are
required both currently and projected over the next 15 years as the population of Rosemead
grows and changes.
This analysis represents a unique methodology which has been tested by the Consultant
in numerous other park and recreation needs studies and provides facility standards which
are specific to the residents of the City of Rosemead. The approach used follows the most
recent recommendations of National Recreation and Park Association as determined by their
Standards Revision Task Force and utilizes participation data unique to the community being
studied. Considerations such as seasonality, design day (or peak day usage), design capacity,
and turnover rates are all incorporated into this advanced approach to determining facility
need.
Response to Request for Proposal ~ 33
Parks, Recreation, and General Facilities Master Plan for the City of Rosemead
RJM
DESIGF [~iOUP.II:C_
The facility standards based on the results of the analysis will be compared to those developed
elsewhere and to other information collected during the course of the study to test for
reasonableness and applicability to conditions in Rosemead. If indicated, adjustments will be
made to the demand estimates.
TASK 3.4 Needs Analysis
The demand estimates described above will then be evaluated in light of the current inventory
ofrecreation facilities to identify surpluses and deficiencies in the existing parks and recreation-
related facilities to serve the population base as it exists now and with projections over the
next 15 years. The degree of need will be used as one criteria to help establish priorities in
developing the implementation plan.
One of the primary advantages to this methodology for determining need is that it provides a
quantitative, unbiased evaluation of the surpluses and deficits in the City's park and recreation
facilities, both currently and in terms of future development. Thereby, special interest group
needs are exhibited in a context of the entire spectrum of recreation needs and consensus is
more readily obtained.
TASK. 3.5 Recreation Trends Analysis
Research recreation trend information through resources such as American Demographics
Institute of the Future, CPRS, NRPA, the State of California Park and Recreation Department

TASK 4.1 Cost and Financial Analysis.
' For the financial analysis portion of the study, the Consultants will provide the basic
information required to implement a detailed financing plan. Costs to develop new parks and/
or facilities, refurbish existing facilities will be identified and arrayed. Costs resulting from
' the correction of current deficiencies will be segregated from those necessitated by growth
from new development and those which may be the result of increasing existing standards.
This analysis will provide a matrix within which proposed funding vehicles can be evaluated
' and alternative strategies analyzed.
Based on the maintenance standards and practices identified through the "Inventory" and
"NeedsAssessment"phases ofthe masterplanprocess,prepare estimated costs for maintenance
and operation of existing as well as new park areas and recreation facilities.
TASK 4.2 Funding Analysis.
' The Consultant will identify and describe park and recreation funding resources which are
currently utilized or proposed for the City of Rosemead as well as developing an exhaustive
list of others which may be feasible for use by the City. This assessment will evaluate the
' long-term viability of each alternative resource, including the assumptions made. Special
opportunities for public/private partnerships will be explored. The political, financial,
administrative and legal feasibility of each funding resource or mechanism for each possible
' type of park or recreation program and facility will be assessed through discussions with City
staff and other knowledgeable authorities.
' During the development of the Implementation Plan, the Consultant will match alternative
funding resources and capacities to specific capital improvements proposed for the
comprehensive master plan. Capital costs associated with acquiring and improving new
and existing facilities and areas will be estimated. Funding alternatives which are legally,
politically, and financially feasible for each project will be identified. This information
will provide decision makers with an overview of the financial feasibility of each proposed
project.
TASK 4.3 Funding Strategy
' Prepare an overall funding strategy for capital improvements. This could include multi-
funding sources, such as a bond measure, SDC's, grants, serial levies, special state and local
budget allocations and partnerships, as well as the formation of a 501 (c) (3) non-profit as a
' foundation to seek grants for programs and construction.

architectural services for the City of Rosemead. We believe that upon review of our approach and past
' experience, you will find our proposal custom tailored to the needs and desires required for the success
of this project. Our firm has extensive experience in the design of parks/trail elements within utility
corridors.
t Our previous project experience with numerous communities throughout Southern California has given
us an appreciation for the design and development process for similar City park/recreation projects. We
' have recently completed Olympiad Park, Flamenco and Pinecrest Parks in Mission Viejo. All of which are
located within the S.C.E. transmission corridors. We have also prepared Trail Master Plans for the City
of Aliso Viejo and the Inland Empire Utility Agency, involving S.C.E. coordination. The City of Chino
Trail Master Plan exists entirely within the S.C.E. corridor. Our most recent projects for the City of Irvine
include the CPRS award winning Venta Spur Trail. We are currently working with the City ofAliso Viejo
' and Bellflower on trail implementation within S.C:E. corridors.
Based upon your request for proposal, and our review and understanding of the existing site conditions, we
' have developed a scope of work which defines a timely and efficient approach to providing the feasibility
study for open space, parkland, and trails along the S.C.E. Corridor.
Throughout our proposed activities, we anticipate close coordination with the City. This close
coordination and review of our work progress on an ongoing basis will ensure project complet
most professional and expeditious manner.
We look forward to your review and evaluation of our proposal and encourage you to discuss o
and enthusiasm with any of our clients.

Project Description: The citizens of Azusa are actively
engaged in charting a 21st Century vision for community revitalization.
Recreation and parks are vital elements that contribute to community health
and prosperity, part of our birthright as Americans "to pursue happiness".
Because of our "unique natural, historic and cultural heritage," these resources
have a central role in Azusa's goal of "being the Gateway to the American
Dream" for families. Recreation activities, parks and natural environments
foster a sense of multi-cultural society and can teach the importance of our
history and environment, connecting people to places and places to people.

This Azusa Parks, Recreation, Green Space and Family Services Master
Plan is based on the vision that parks and programs are essential for youth
to develop, essential to build strong families and essential to create a safe
and healthy community. These attributes were identified by citizens in the
planning process and are the foundation upon which programs, services and
facilities should be designed, developed and delivered.

The City has a variety of parks and
open spaces that serve a huge range of activities and user groups, including
not only Pasadena residents, but regional user groups as well. As community
demand for recreation types changes over time, facilities attempt to keep pace
with this demand. Partially in response to changes in community demand,
Pasadena has evolved with a rich and varied range of private institutions,
public and private schools, and non-profit organizations that offer recreation
facilities and programs to residents of the area. In recent years, the City has
experienced new challenges stemming from substantial new growth in the
Central District and an influx of housing stock much different than historical
suburban development. In addition, the Northwest region of the City is
increasingly dense, with a high concentration of children, and access to parks
and green spaces is a key issue in this area. For all of these reasons, the City of
Pasadena must look to creative means to provide open spaces and recreational
programs and facilities to its evolving population.

decade.
The Master Plan provides data and analysis which, leads to the recommendations
that will help establish the recreation facility and program needs, for the
communities present and future use. The report is a flexible document,
' presenting findings and recommendations that will be evaluated, validated, and/
or modified periodically as the City responds to unforeseen opportunities and
constraints as well as changes in residents' needs and demands. The community
wide needs assessment determined that the greatest facility and program needs
in the City include; an aquatic facility and programming, indoor basketball
courts and a gymnasium, senior programming, and a community center that
includes a senior component. Concept plans for existing park improvements
as well as 19 new sites for recreation opportunities were produced and included
in the Master Plan.

Costa Mesa is a mature City nearing build
out capacity. Costa Mesa's population is
expected to increase from the 2002 estimate
of 110,720 to 122,200 by 2025. Thirty-
five (35) City-owned recreation facilities,
combined with regional facilities nearby and
with school campuses, together constitute
an open space and park system in which
a variety of passive and active recreation
experiences are possible.
This Parks & Recreation Master Plan was
intended to be an implementation tool to
the City of Costa Mesa 2000 General Plan, providing a guide for the orderly
development and management of recreation facilities and programs for the
City. It was an update of the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan
adopted in 1996. Population changes, the opportunity to conduct a statistically
valid telephone survey, and the need to renovate TeWinkle Park in the context
of the overall community recreation needs prompted the update effort. The
needs analysis and recommendations were community-based, generated with
extensive community involvement that included (4) community workshops, a
community-wide telephone survey, stakeholder interviews, demand and needs
analysis, and an analysis of the distribution of sports facilities in the City.
Concurrent with this master plan effort was a planning process for
the improvement and enhancement of one of the City's major existing
recreational facilities, TeWinkle Park.
