Report providing an update on the Linden Avenue Park project (project no. pk2305), Dundee Park Remodel (project
no.pk2402) and Westborough Preschool (project no. pf2102). (Jacob Gilchrist, Director of Capital Projects and Philip
Vitale, Deputy Director of Capital Projects)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Parks and Recreation Commission receive an update on the Linden Avenue Park
Project (project no. pk2305), Dundee Park Remodel (project no.pk2402) and Westborough Preschool (project no.
pf2102).
Linden Avenue Park - Project Update
The Old Town neighborhood was identified in the 2015 Parks and Recreation Master Plan and 2022 General Plan as an
area of concern for its lack of parks and open space. To address this need, 616 and 700 Linden Avenue parcels are being
developed into a new park.
In spring 2024, the City and MIG design team launched a community design process to envision and design the new park.
Through a series of public events, a community vision was developed, followed by input on two concept alternatives.
During this process, the design team learned about park priorities from neighbors and local businesses, followed the
guidance of technical experts, and checked in with City leaders.
The preferred concept design, which blends elements of earlier designs alternatives is inspired by traditional plazas
around the world that are the heart of their communities, the park concept seeks to create a contemporary new plaza and
active park for the Old Town Neighborhood of South San Francisco. The new park will provide spaces for large and small
gatherings, offer recreation and play, and incorporate distinct art features reflective of the park’s community.
The central plaza is the heart of the park, providing a community space for gatherings, such as a music or dance
performance, outdoor exercise class, or other community events. Crowd space can grow with the use of the adjacent
lawns and expand to an extra-large event occasionally with a temporary closure of Linden Ave. Small gathering areas are
also provided at benches and tables spread throughout the park.
A large flex lawn south of the plaza is sized to host a variety of activities-casual sports play (informal soccer/futsal, or
other play), movie nights, and plaza overflow, with a small flex lawn north of the plaza for picnics or spillover activities
from the playground, fitness area, or plaza. A small fitness area will offer outdoor exercise equipment, and the park
provides space for games at the tables, lawn, or plaza. The fenced play area is designed to offer fun for all ages within a
compact footprint, and includes the top elements desired by the community: climbing/sliding structure, group play
features (spinner and facing “friendship” swing), tot slide and nature play at the edges.
Three art options are envisioned at the plaza, based on the community’s preferences for which types of art to include. The
final budget for each piece will determine how many elements can be included. A public art process will follow in design
development to select artists and artwork reflective of the community’s identity and heritage.
The community desired a safe, connected park with slower traffic, and were split on whether to make Pine Ave. a dead-
end street or create a one-way connector. The final concept includes the one-way lane with two stop signs. This will slow
down traffic and provide more parking access, while also allowing Pine Ave. vehicles to travel through to Linden Ave.
Parking spots are provided at the edge of the park for park users, local residents and to support local businesses. As design

Parking spots are provided at the edge of the park for park users, local residents and to support local businesses. As design
development moves forward, the City will be reviewing allowable parking times, use of meters, and loading zones.
New lighting within the park will build upon the existing street lighting along Linden Ave. Sight lines will be maintained
between tree canopies and lower ground plane plantings to ensure visibility into the park. The new one-way lane
connecting Pine Ave. to 7th Lane is narrow with stop signs to help slow traffic. Vehicular bollards at the curve and street
parking spaces offer further separation from park uses.
A public restroom (and its utility costs) was not in the initial park budget, but we learned it was an important feature for
park visitors’ comfort and to reduce reliance on adjacent businesses. Space for a portable restroom will be provided at a
minimum, and the project team is exploring additional options for funding a permanent single-user restroom to be
included in the final construction drawings.
New trees and drought-tolerant/native plants with water-efficient irrigation will provide shade and offer a comfortable,
green backdrop for the park. Stormwater will be directed to bioretention areas to slow and filter runoff.
The concept design has been shared with the community through the following events:
·Open House #3 (March 1)
·Youth Commission (March 3)
·Merchant Roundtable (March 7)
The concept design is posted at the park kiosks and available on the project webpage www.ssf.net/parkprojects
<https://www.ssf.net/parkprojects>.
Summary of feedback to date on the preferred concept design:
General Comments
·Both open-house visitors and nearby business owners are excited to have a new community space in the
neighborhood.
·Overall happiness for the kids to have a new playground within walking distance.
·Looking forward to improved facilities such as the restroom and more seating opportunities.
·Questions and concerns relate to soil quality, traffic and park operations (parking enforcement, safety, security).
It should be noted that the land has been deemed safe for a park. Please refer to the October 23, 2024 City
Council Meeting presentation for additional details.
Art Themes
·Excited to showcase cultural themes and to bring a unique identity to the new park.
·History of South San Francisco and Old Town, particularly the immigrant, Latino and Native American
contributions.
·Interactive, STEM-based, and musical art pieces.
·Desire to work with local artists.
Next Steps
The concept design will be presented at the upcoming business improvement district meeting on March 21. The design
team will incorporate feedback gathered through the Preferred Concept Phase, including feedback provided by the Parks
and Recreation Commission and PBID meeting as part of the update on March 18 and present an update to City Council
on April 9
th. Based on the direction of Council, the design team will proceed with development of construction
documentation and begin preparation of the Initial Study as part of the California Environmental Quality Act.

Dundee Park Improvements - Project Update
On October 7, 2024, City staff (Josh Richardson, Parks Manager and Jake Gilchrist, Director of Capital Projects) and then
-Mayor Coleman hosted a community discussion regarding ideas to improve Dundee Park. More than 20 residents
attended the meeting and provided helpful feedback to get the project moving in the right direction.
General Comments
1. Everyone agrees that the park is in dire need of improvement.
2. Staff explained that the project budget is $600k. To be as efficient as possible with the project funding and to
minimize consultant design fees and procurement time, Staff plans to use a cooperative purchase program to
procure the materials and accomplish the improvements. For a relatively small project, this method should deliver
the best value for our budget.
3. Residents asked if the budget could be increased. Staff and Mayor Coleman explained that an increase would
need to be considered and approved by the entire City Council.
Playground Improvements
1. There is broad agreement that Dundee Park and Clay Park should complement each other and not provide too
much redundancy in terms of play elements.
2. Consideration of targeting the playground for toddlers and younger children at Dundee Park makes sense, but
also include an older child area that is not too tall or hazardous for adventurous younger kids.
3. Overall, residents would prefer synthetic play surface (poured in place or synthetic turf) over loose fill wood
fiber. Staff explained that wood fiber is significantly less expensive and we’ll have to balance the desire for
synthetic surfacing against the overall project costs.
4. There is support for expanding the footprint of the playground but first we’ll see how we can maximize the
existing space.
5. It’s preferable that the playground is fenced to keep children in and dogs out.
6. Playground themes discussed were nature and dinosaurs and these were generally supported by all in attendance.
7. A saucer swing instead of belt/buckets would be good - preference for no tire swing because of water collection.
Overall Park Amenities
1. There is strong support for picnic tables and the ability to support small gathering or birthday parties at the park.
Ideally the park improvements would convert some of the lawn area for this purpose.
2. Shade is important.
3. There is support for half-court basketball and accommodation for scooters or tricycles, provided that the
hardscape area can be re-graded to be flatter and more usable.
Future Project Communication and Next Steps
In order to accommodate busy schedules and child care challenges, residents asked for a combination of online and in-
person communication, such as an online survey to review design choices but also potentially an in-person evening or
Saturday morning event in the park.
Recently, staff received a draft design and playground equipment options from our consultants. Staff is developing and
online survey with two explicit purposes:
·Confirm that the proposed park layout improvements reflect the desires of the residents.
·Receive feedback on which of the two proposed playground designs are preferred by the residents.
Staff is planning to host the next community meeting on the evening of Monday, April 14 at the park.
Westborough Preschool -- Project Update
In 2021, staff was directed to explore a location for a new preschool in the Westborough neighborhood. An initial study of

locating a preschool at Carter Park helped determine the needs of staff to run a new facility, but ultimately seismic
concerns at Carter Park required that staff abandon the idea of building at Carter Park. After exploring other locations, in
late 2022, the City Manager directed staff to proceed with exploring Westborough Park as a potential location. In spring
2024, Capital Projects recommended to City Council an award of professional services contract to Dorman Associates for
the planning and design of a new preschool at Westborough Park. Since that time, staff and the design team have explored
Westborough Park and developed a preliminary plan for a new preschool.
The proposed plan imagines a new facility near Fire Station 64 and separate from the existing Alice Bulos Community
Center where there are currently three preschool classrooms, one in the main building and two in the adjacent modular-
construction classrooms. The all-new five-classroom preschool allows for a dedicated building and playground, freeing
up the existing playground and building for other neighborhood needs. While there will be an impact on the park, staff is
working with the design to minimize impact to the park while also looking for opportunities to make park improvements.
One example is a new ADA-compliant accessible pedestrian route to the tennis courts, a legally required feature that has
never been developed at Westborough Park.
For their part, the architects have offered the following statement on their design intent for the building:
“Dorman Associate’s approach to early childhood education design is about crafting environments that nurture curiosity,
independence, and a sense of security. Designing at a residential scale allows the spaces to feel familiar and inviting to
children, which creates an environment where they can explore freely while feeling safe and supported.
A single, clearly defined entry serves as the transition point between the outside world and the learning environment.
Positioned at the parking drop-off area, this entry provides a direct and secure route for caretakers and children.
Administrative offices overlook both the parking lot and entryway, ensuring clear sightlines and an added layer of
security. This thoughtful layout allows the entry space to function as both a welcoming hub and a controlled gateway to
the classrooms and play areas.
Inside the classrooms,natural light, fresh air, and a strong connection to the outdoors define the experience. Open,
flexible spaces integrate child-friendly toilet areas and teacher support pods, ensuring continuous visibility and ease of
supervision. Low- to zero-VOC materials uphold a high standard of indoor air quality, creating a healthy environment
for learning and play.
Seamless indoor-outdoor connections are central to the design. Each classroom has direct access to the outdoor play
area, reinforcing the essential relationship between children and nature. A covered outdoor classroom and a variety of
natural textures encourage movement, exploration, and hands-on engagement with the natural world.”
The landscape architects from the design company BASE provided this statement about their approach to the outdoor
learning environment:
“Outdoor nature play provides an opportunity for children to practice their social and emotional skills, including safe
risk taking and problem solving. It invites children to learn and explore the natural environment, such as experiencing
seasons, playing with dirt and water, observing plants, and watching birds and insects. Nature-oriented outdoor
activities promote physical health. Children build gross motor skills, such as coordination, balance, and body awareness,
when they freely run, jump, and climb outdoors. Playing outdoors at natural play playground areas has benefits for both
young children and their educators.”
The attached presentation reflects the initial design work. Staff will return with an update after receiving feedback from
additional staff, the community, Design Review Board, and City Council. If all goes as planned construction should begin
in early 2026.

California Parks and Recreation Society State and District Awards Update.(Erin O’Brien, Business Program
Manager)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Parks and Recreation Commission be apprised of the City’s recognition as a
recipient of the 2024 statewide California Parks and Recreation Society Award of Excellence in Design
for Park Planning; additionally, the Commission is provided with an update on the 2024 nominations for
the CPRS District 4 Awards and Volunteer Recognition.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The California Parks and Recreation Society (CPRS) Award of Excellence in Design in Park Planning
recognizes outstanding achievements in the planning and development of public facilities. This prestigious
award honors projects that exemplify high standards in design, community involvement, aesthetics,
accessibility, and usability. With applications from throughout the state of California, selected recipients of this
award represent the highest level of excellence in outdoor recreation spaces, prioritizing open space,
community engagement, and increased public use. Recipients of the 2024 CPRS Award of Excellence “Best of
the Best” will be recognized at the CPRS Conference in Sacramento on Thursday, March 20, 2025. The
Department is honored to share that the Centennial Way Park South project was selected as a recipient of this
prestigious and highly competitive award.
Additionally, this is the time of the year where CPRS District 4 requests nominations from agencies that honor
unique innovation, and outstanding individuals for their professional and volunteer contributions to the fields of
parks, recreation, and human services. The South San Francisco Parks and Recreation Department is proud to
share our 2024 nominees, scheduled to be honored at the May 8 awards dinner hosted at the Mountain View
Community Center.
Award of Excellence: Centennial Way Park South
Centennial Way Park South is the realization of years of planning for a connected green space corridor that
extends through the City of South San Francisco. Parlaying the momentum from the recently completed
Centennial Way Trail Master Plan, this park delivers a modern, highly desirable skate park, a pump track,
unique playgrounds, nature play and education using reclaimed logs from South San Francisco, as well
conventional spaces such as open lawn areas, picnic tables, barbecues, and corn hole. The project coordinated
with SFPUC, PG&E, and BART to maximize usable space and went through a robust community engagement
process. The proximity to San Bruno BART and adjacency to a trail also prioritizes alternative forms of
transportation to access the park. This project took a fallow, unusable land and transformed it into a state-of-the
-art park that truly has something for every user group, from passive recreation to "extreme" sports.
Volunteer & Sponsor Citation Award: Patrick Dunleavy
Recreation volunteer, Patrick Dunleavy, was raised in South San Francisco and has played an integral role in
the Shinkyu Shotokan Karate program. Beginning as a young student under Sensei Sue Miller, Patrick grew up
in the program, mentoring fellow students, earning his black belt, and eventually joining the Parks and
Recreation staff to assist with karate classes. Even after stepping away to focus on school and his career,City of South San Francisco Printed on 3/14/2025Page 1 of 2

Recreation staff to assist with karate classes. Even after stepping away to focus on school and his career,
Patrick has remained a dedicated volunteer of the program, always stepping in when needed. Over the past five
plus years, he has been a steady presence in the program, supporting youth, teen, and adult classes. His
teaching approach emphasizes the fundamental principles of Shotokan Karate, instilling discipline respect, and
technical proficiency in participants. Beyond instruction, Patrick actively contributes to the program’s success
by volunteering his time to host two annual tournaments, which include organizing the competitions, assisting
with setups, and welcoming dojos from across the Bay Area. In the summer and fall of 2024, he generously
donated his time to co-instruct evening and weekend classes, balancing this commitment alongside his fulltime
responsibilities. Recognizing Patrick’s contributions and achievements not only honor his dedication but also
inspire future generations of martial artists to follow in his footsteps.
The Department has also submitted a nomination to recognize a recently retired, longtime dedicated South San
Francisco Parks and Recreation employee who has left a great impact on the Department and the City of South
San Francisco. The results of this award are still pending.
Additional award information will be forthcoming, however Commissioners interested in attending the CPRS
District 4 Awards and Volunteer Recognition Dinner on May 8, 2025 are kindly requested to RSVP to
Administrative Assistant Jeanette Yoshida by April 17, 2025.

CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 13, 2025 TO: Mayor, Vice Mayor, and Councilmembers
FROM: Greg Mediati, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Department Update Rec Rx Pilot Program - Aquatics Over the past few months, the Parks and Recreation Department has been working with staff from San Mateo County Health and the South San Francisco branch of the San Mateo County Medical Clinic to partner on a pilot program called Rec Rx. This program proposes to extend the San Mateo
County Park Rx Program by continuing the clinic-to-nature connection and adding a component of a free recreation class to a patient’s prescription. Starting with the spring classes session beginning in March, the Department is piloting Rec Rx on a small scale. This program will be available to 10 South San Francisco residents who are patients of the South San Francisco Clinic. With a doctor’s prescription for Rec Rx, these 10 patients will have access to select aquatic lessons
for children and adults at no cost. Staff has applied for grant funding to hopefully expand the program to serve more families and expand program selections. Cultural Arts Commission 2025 Annual Work Plan
The Cultural Arts Program Annual Work Plan serves as a guiding document for the City’s cultural arts initiatives, outlining ongoing programs and future projects while balancing the long-term vision. Developed with input from the Cultural Arts Strategic Vision Subcommittee, the plan helps shape key projects and focus areas for the 2025 calendar year. At the regular Cultural Arts
Commission meeting held on January 28, 2025, the commission approved the 2025 Cultural Arts
Program Annual Work Plan in a vote of 9-0 in favor. Attached you will find a copy of the approved 2025 Cultural Arts Program Annual Work Plan. Preschool Update
Valentines for the Troops Intergenerational Activity On January 23, Siebecker Preschool students walked over to the Roberta Teglia Center to participate in Valentines for the Troops, hosted by the Senior Services Program. The children decorated and colored pictures of hearts and made cards to send to the troops.
Special Holiday Celebrations In recognition of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Westborough Preschool had a themed week to learn about his work and how to be inclusive to all. Children participated in crafts, spoke about kindness and what it meant to each of them. Most children responded with acts of helping, taking turns,
sharing and speaking kindly to others.
58
Park and Recreation Department Update February 13, 2025 Page 2 of 3
Children at the Little Steps Preschool have been working hard on the IGDIs assessment (Individual Growth and Development Indicators). This is a tool that teachers use as a baseline to measure where each individual child is in areas of growth and literacy. This is a requirement for those enrolled in Little Steps Preschool and it is used three times per year. Also, all three schools had
many activities around Lunar New Year such as art projects that included snakes, lanterns, dragons, tambourines, fortune cookie-making, and dragon dancing.
Youth Enrichment Services (YES) Updates
Special Holiday Activities Youth Enrichment Services (YES) combines learning with fun through a variety of activities. In January, children in the REAL
(Recreation, Enrichment, and Learning) Programs celebrated Lunar
New Year with paper lanterns and learned about the zodiac. The children also read Nian, The Chinese New Year Dragon and Playing with Lanterns. School holidays provide YES the opportunity to offer a full day of fun and learning. On January 29, the children gathered at
Ponderosa Elementary School for a variety of puzzle-themed
activities. Children designed their own puzzle, created a maze game where everyone had to get from start to finish, played Knots where they worked together to get untangled, participated in a child version Escape Room, and finished the day with preparing their own snacks.
Please see below for a note received by YES staff from an appreciative parent:
“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the fantastic Lunar New Year session. Both Sebastian and Mateo had an amazing time! I wanted to be sure to share our appreciation for all
the effort you and your team put into making it such a fun and engaging day.
The children in all three preschools participated in a variety of fun activities.
59
Park and Recreation Department Update February 13, 2025 Page 3 of 3
The puzzle theme was a huge hit, and I especially appreciate the accommodations made for Sebastian with his cast situation—it truly made a difference. Thank you again for creating such a memorable experience for the kids!”
2025 Calendar of Events Each year, the Parks and Recreation Department publishes a calendar of events to help community
members save the date for upcoming special events. The 2025 Calendar of Events brochure has been attached for reference.
The YES and REAL programs participated in a variety of fun learning activities.

CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 7, 2025 TO: Mayor, Vice Mayor, and Councilmembers
FROM: Greg Mediati, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Department Update Rentals Program Recruitment Weekdays at Cañada College The South San Francisco Parks and Recreation Department participated in Recruitment Weekdays
at Cañada College for a job fair held at their Career Center on Thursday, February 6 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Recreation and Community Services Sports Coordinators Brooke Bayangos and Austin Navarro hosted a table at the event, promoting part-
time job opportunities to students looking to gain experience for their future careers. Available positions included sports field attendants, building attendants, coaches, and lifeguards. During the job
fair, Brooke and Austin connected with
approximately 20 interested students seeking part-time employment while balancing their academic studies. We are excited about adding new part-time staff to our recreation team.
Sports Program
2024-25 Middle School Basketball South San Francisco’s Middle School Sports Program just completed its seventh and eighth grade basketball season. This year there were a total of nine teams with 85 athletes. Northern California
Recreation League (NCRL) only allows eighth grade teams to compete in a postseason/playoff.
The four eighth grade teams made the playoffs with both our A and B girls teams advancing to the championship! Both girls’ teams came in second place for the 2024-2025 season. NCRL has decided to reinstate All-Star events for 2025 for eighth graders for the first time in over
15 years. All-Star nominations were chosen by coaches and directors of the league for each
respective level. The All-Star events took place after playoffs, which also included a three-point shooting contest. The quick transition to the sixth grade season began with evaluations and practices in early February 2025. South San Francisco has three teams with a total of 33 players. Games began after the President’s Day holiday.
