(Facing south) Pickleweed Park includes the only soccer fields owned and managed by the City of San Rafael serving the Canal Neighborhood, and the greater community with opportunities for outdoor recreation and social interaction for all ages. PICKLEWEED PARK COMMUNITY FIELD PROJECT Current Field Conditions This 2016 aerial photo illustrates the wear patterns on the natural turf fields. The dark brown areas are ruts and dirt patches, a safety concern. One month after 6 months of closure in the summer 2015 water restrictions due to draught stressed the natural turf fields. (Facing north and northeast respectively) PIC KLEWEED PARK Annual Field Closures COMMUNITY FIELD PROJECT Fields are closed November—May each year for turf repair and regeneration. Only the youngest age groups can play in the nearby gymnasium when the fields are closed. Youth and adult programs are suspended or cancelled. During the months the fields are open, rain causes additional temporary closures. Project Summary The Pickleweed Park Community Field Project was generated in 2009 in response to the current natural turf sports fields' capacity for limited service resource intensive requirements. The Pickleweed Park Masterplan calls for Field conversion to synthetic turf, play features, and landscape. This project is Phase 1 of the Masterplan: the conversion of the sports fields to synthetic turf. The two soccer fields and the baseball field were rebuilt in 2001, utilizing state of the art turf materials, drainage and irrigation systems. Each year since 2001 the City has been forced to close the fields for first four, now six months each year to repair and regenerate the turf. It is critical to do so as the turf surface becomes rutted and worn to exposed dirt making even casual play dangerous to users. The condition of the fields deteriorates quickly under the tremendous use of the public and organized groups. The neighborhood which they serve is home to over 10,000 residents within one square mile of Pickleweed Park. It is the only park with active amenities, and the only soccer fields owned and operated by the City of San Rafael. The Pickleweed Park Community Field Project is recognized by the San Rafael City Council as the #1 priority for park improvements. It will allow for new capacity for healthy outdoor recreation, year-round and in all weather, allowing more user access while reducing the current water consumption to support the natural turf surface by 95%. Pickleweed Park Community Field Project Criterion Criterion 1: Demographics See Fact Finder Report Criterion 2: Community Challenges and Project Benefits A. Describe the challenges not illustrated in the FACT FINDER report. Challenqe 1: Pickleweed Park is the onlv public park with recreation facilities servinq a conqested Neiqhborhood. The Canal Neighborhood is home to 15,473 residents living within 1 square mile of Pickleweed Park. Many of the predominant multi -family housing units in are shared by two or more families. These complexes have no viable outdoor space for play, exercise or social interaction. Challenqe 2: Supportinq a workinq class, low income Neiqhborhood in an otherwise veru expensive cost of livinq, hiqh income city. Median income for the Canal Neighborhood is $48,393 as compared to median income of $75,668.00 for San Rafael and $91,529 for Marin County. Providing park and recreation facilities within the built -out and congested Neighborhood is a city priority for stabilization of the resident population from a transient immigrant Neighborhood to working class families with roots and investment in their community. Challenqe 3: Creatinq community in a culturally diverse, lanquage diverse Neiqhborhood. 63% of the residents are foreign born, many newly immigrated, and 43% are non-English speakers, 4 times the percentage found in San Rafael. Within the last 10 years demographics showed 22 languages spoken in the E Neighborhood. People from Central and South American countries live side by side with Vietnamese, Cambodian Laotian, Eastern Block, and Haitian born residents. Outdoor recreation space is crucial to building common experience and social interaction. B. Describe any youth crime issues present. In general, the Neighborhood and community are very respectful of the few recreation amenities it has. There are, however, ever present impacts of gang activity in and around the park. Pickleweed Park is determined to be "18th Street"P N orteh os"g a ng territory. In the past three years, there have been 344 calls for Police service within the park. Data on calls specifically for crimes involving juveniles is not available, however anecdotal evidence produced by staff and patrons of the park indicate a significant number of incidents involve teenagers and young adults, primarily males. These reported and observed incidents include vandalism, theft, burglary, gang activity, assault and assault with a deadly weapon. The Canal Neighborhood is connected by nearby freeway access to Richmond, Oakland and other East Bay communities. Richmond is fifteen minutes away by car. Criminal activity, drug sales, prostitution, theft and burglary, from those communities extend into the Canal Neighborhood by virtue of proximately, and youth are not immune from this influence and impact. C. Describe any deficiencies in similar recreational facilities. In addition to Pickleweed Park, the only active public outdoor recreation space accessible to this Neighborhood is on the lone elementary school campus. The campus is locked after school hours, and the outdoor playground, basketball 2 court and small grass field is not made available to the public. There are no other public outdoor recreation facilities. The nearest soccer field and outdoor basketball court is on the middle school campus 2.4 miles from the Neighborhood, across both Interstate 580 Freeway and Hwy 101. Pickleweed Park includes two natural turf soccer fields and one baseball field. The fields are used heavily for youth and adult open play, instruction, practice and league games and secondarily and occasionally for community events such as festivals and performances. The combined fields are closed December through May or June each year to repair and regenerate the turf surface for safety. The Neighborhood and community are without these active outdoor sport facilities for half each year, and there are no local alternatives. The only outdoor basketball court serving the public in the park was eliminated ten years ago, and no hardscape outdoor recreation space is currently available for public use. D. Describe any current recreation opportunities that may be lost or affected if this Project is not implemented. This project will provide new opportunities for healthy outdoor fitness and recreation activity unrestricted by weather, or unsafe conditions caused by intensively used natural grass turf. The project is supported by the community, approved by the City Council, designed and shovel -ready. Until its implementation, the only active outdoor sports facilities in the Canal Neighborhood of San Rafael will be inaccessible for use 6 months of the year. The surrounding Neighborhood will have no opportunity to engage in health - enhancing sport or play activities within a walkable distance from residences. 3 The greater community will also lose access to 2 soccer fields and 1 baseball field for one half of the year, reducing the number of public fields to two, 2.4 miles away on a middle school campus or two, 6.5 miles away in a Marin County park accessible only by freeway from the Canal Neighborhood. If this project is not implemented, the deteriorating condition of the natural grass fields will continue to decrease the number of current users from the greater San Rafael community, service no new users or sports, and prohibit expansion of existing organized play, instruction, and drop-in play beyond the constricted 6 -month schedule now offered to the community. No year-round schedule of events or all weather activities can be provided for and with the community without this project. Criterion 3: Community Involvement Building trust, communication, and leadership with the residents of the Canal Neighborhood has been a deliberate and on-going initiative for the City of San Rafael since 1997 when efforts began to bring stability, social and civic integration to the Neighborhood. All projects, initiatives and resolutions are founded in community based planning, through the Pickleweed Advisory Board, the Pickleweed Advancement Team, Pickleweed 2.0, the Park and Recreation Commission, the City Council, Canal Alliance, Canal Welcome Center, Canal Youth and Family Council and many other groups dedicated to leading the community. The Community Based Planning for the Project did not start per se with this initiative. It is the model used for over 10 years that has produced -19 responsive, impactful improvements to the quality of life for all residents. The following is the initial community organizational meetings around the project: 1. Pickleweed Advisory Board 2. San Rafael Park and Recreation Commission 3. Canal Youth and Family Council 4. Pickleweed Advisory Board 5. Canal Alliance Youth Fun Fridays 6. Public Meeting- Pickleweed Community Center November 13, 2009 January 21, 2010 January 28, 2010 February 3, 2010 February 5, 2010 February 10, 2010 In 2015, the City Council appointed a Councilmember to chair Pickleweed 2.0, a collaborative of community organizations to organize outreach and funding for the synthetic field conversion. The current working committee consists of 12 individuals from organizations including Kaiser Permanente, Pickleweed Advisory Board, Marin Economic Forum, San Rafael City Council, Canal Alliance, APEX SUITES, San Rafael Park & Recreation Commission, San Rafael Youth Soccer Club, Bank of Marin, Canal Mini Soccer LeagueNoices Del Canal, and Central Marin Youth Soccer. In 2014 the Park and Recreation Commission conducted 9 months of community outreach to determine the highest priorities for improvements to San Rafael Parks. Over 60 park improvement projects across San Rafael were submitted for consideration by residents. The Commission selected the Pickleweed Park Synthetic Field Conversion as the #1 priority for the City and for expenditure of local park funding through Marin County Measure A: Protect Marin Parks, Open Space and Farmland, sales tax revenues. The City Council approved the R Commission recommendation in May of 2015 and authorized Measure A funds to support the project. The Commission and City Council meet in public forum and are extensively noticed to create interaction with the greater San Rafael community. The City learned throughout years of outreach that the message from diverse organizations and residents regarding this project is consistent: the Canal Neighborhood and the greater community need a field facility that is open year- round and in all-weather conditions to meet the current and growing demands for active recreation and healthy lifestyle opportunities. The influence of community outreach has maintained the City's commitment to this project through the Great Recession, grant and funding campaigns and consistent inclusion in the annual City Capital Improvement Project List over the span of 8 years.

Criterion 5: Organizational Capacity The Pickleweed Community Field Project is Phase 1 of the Masterplan for the Park. It encompasses the conversion of the natural grass turf fields to synthetic turf. The City of San Rafael has demonstrated full capability to provide funding, project management, maintenance and program management on many similar projects. Since 2000 the City of San Rafael has completed notable recreation facility projects including: Parkside Children's Center, an 8,000 s/ft. child care and preschool facility. Project Cost: $2,275,000. Funding: San Rafael Redevelopment Agency ($1,550,000), Parkland Dedication Fund ($250,000), and City of San Rafael General Fund ($475,000). Completed 2000 on schedule. Operated by City of San Rafael. Pickleweed Park Field Proiect, a rebuild and expansion of prior existing two soccer fields, addition of a baseball field incorporating sand channel drainage, state of the art irrigation, hybrid Bermuda grass turf and perimeter fencing. Project Cost: $800,000. Funding: San Rafael Redevelopment Agency. Completed in 2001 on time. Operated by City of San Rafael. Terra Linda Communitv Pool Renovation project includeddemolitionand replacement of existing pool with an expanded pool, water play pool, landscape, entry and operational kiosk. Project Cost: $1,401,000. Funding: City of San Rafael General Fund ($1,263,000), Parkland Dedication Fees: $118,000. 7 Completed in 2002, one year after schedule estimate due to community driven re -design. Operated by the City of San Rafael. Pickleweed Communitv Center Renovation and Expansion Proiect, renovation of existing 12,000 s/ft. Community Center and addition of 12,500 s/ft. to include gymnasium, computer lab, art room, teen lounge, library, and entry lobby. Project Cost: $8,447,367. Funding: San Rafael Redevelopment Agency ($2,433,424) Federal ($2,073,385), State Library Bond Act ($1,288,893) County of Marin ($200,000), Foundations ($1,736,000), and Private Donors ($715,665). Completed in 2006, three months after schedule estimate due to construction delays. Operated by the City of San Rafael. Criterion 6: Water Conservation The Pickleweed Park Community Field Project will reduce the current rate of water consumption by an estimated 95% over what is currently needed to support the natural turf surface. Marin Municipal Water District supplies the water for San Rafael. During the draught MMWD required all municipalities to reduce water consumption a minimum of 20%. Converting natural turf fields to synthetic material will achieve a use reduction far exceeding the Water District goal. The Synthetic turf fields do not require irrigation. Reduction of 95% of potable water consumption is designed for the fields, saving over 4 million gallons of water per year. A percentage remains for anticipated periodic specific cleaning.
