RecreationandParkCommission | 2005-01-13 | 4 | - Made significant progress in cost recovery. 7. REPORTS FROM RECREATION COMMISSION AND RECREATION AND PARK DIRECTOR A. Park Division Alameda Point Gymnasium: Community use of the gymnasium by Alameda sponsored organizations has increased 20 percent this year. Beginning in January, Encinal High School and St. Joseph Notre Dame High School will share court time after school for basketball practices through March. FUTSAL (indoor soccer) will begin its 5th season at the gym commencing in January. Approximately 40 teams participate in this league. All games are scheduled on weekends and are open to the public. Also, the Golden State Warriors will be holding a basketball camp at the gymnasium from December 20-23, for boys and girls between the ages of 8-16. The focus of this camp is individual skill development, learning proper fundamental skills, and development of a healthy team attitude. This camp will also feature appearances by current and former Warriors players and coaches. Franklin Park: Friends of Franklin Park purchased three beautiful Victorian picnic tables with benches which have been installed. The Park Division staff worked with the Recreation Division and Friends of Franklin Park to find the best location for the tables. Also, a new driveway was installed at the entrance to Franklin Park. This work has enhanced the appearance as well as the safety of the location. Veteran's Building: Meetings are continuing between a local Veteran's Committee and City staff to develop plans to renovate the kitchen. Staff has been informed by the Alameda County Health Department that a commercial kitchen will be required and an onsite meeting with the Health Department is scheduled for Thursday, December 16. This project will be financed by the Veteran's Committee, who plan to hold fundraising events and obtain donations from local businesses. Leydecker Playground Renovation: A Request for Proposal (RFP) for the relocation of the Leydecker Playground was recently completed and is being reviewed. This project will include relocating the existing playground to the volleyball court area and removal of the old play equipment once the project is completed. This project will be funded by the 2002 Resources Bond Act-Per Capita Block Grant (Proposition 40) and is expected to be completed by May 2005. Alameda Point Multi-Purpose Field: The Public Works Engineering Department has hired a new contractor to finish the park. The Park is still under construction and Engineering is working hard to have the new contractor complete the project. The park is already looking better and should be ready for limited baseball use in March 2005. 4 Recreation & Park Commission Mtg.
