The Parks Program’s Park Improvement Projects section contains Capital Improvement Program projects that repair or
improve a Town park as the primary scope of work. Typical park improvement projects include parking lot, walkway, and
basketball or tennis court resurfacing; and park equipment or facility upgrades.
The Park Improvement Projects section does not have ongoing programs; all projects are considered one-time projects. The
exception to this is the Parks Fibar replacement project. Because of many years not completing this work, this program will
require an ongoing five years of catchup to bring all playgrounds back up to standard, after which a biennial program should
suffice. One-time park improvement projects are prioritized based on health and safety issues, available funding sources,
infrastructure impacts, project costs, and community impacts.
Los Gatos does have Park Construction Tax Revenue as a designated funding source for the Parks operating program budget;
however, tax receipts are limited to approximately $11,000 per year, and are not sufficient for a capital program. In addition
to GFAR funding, grants, in-lieu fees, and CDBG funds are pursued and utilized for park improvements when available.

Project Name Oak Meadow Park Upgrades* Project Number 831-4004
Department Parks & Public Works Project Manager Superintendent: Steve Regan
*This project was presented to Council as part of the Capital Improvement Program in FY 2015/16. The funds ($330,000) for
this project were put on hold pending resolution of funding needs for the Almond Grove Street Reconstruction project.
Description This project will repair and replace the irrigation system, install new sod, and install a new section of
concrete pathway at Oak Meadow Park.
Location The project is located at Oak Meadow Park, which is at 233 Blossom Hill Road.
Project
Background
Oak Meadow Park is the most highly utilized park in Los Gatos. Due to its location, size, and wide
range of recreational opportunities, it is enjoyed by many individuals and organized groups. There
have been numerous improvement projects at Oak Meadow Park over the past several years in an
effort to enhance the park’s aesthetics and improve its usability. The improvements have included
construction of an asphalt pathway around the turf area, sidewalk, parking lot repairs, and renovations
of picnic areas #1 and #2.
Due to the heavy usage, the aging infrastructure of this park needs to be evaluated and improved.
Continuing with the improvements, this project will replace an aging turf irrigation system to include
the replacement of the existing turf area and add landscape in the parking lot median islands. Other
project components could include construction of a nonporous surface for events at the park’s gazebo,
updates to the picnic areas, additional landscape related improvements, and a new entrance ticket
booth. An overall design for these improvements will take place in Fall 2016. Based on the results of
this design and costs associated with them, a phased approach for improvements will be recommended
and considered. The budget for this project is a preliminary estimate only.
Operating
Budget Impacts
This project will use staff time for construction inspection and management. The staff time for this
project is included in the department’s FY 2016/17 Operating Budget.

Project Name Parks Playground Fibar Project Project Number 831-4605
Department Parks & Public Works Project Manager Superintendent: Steve Regan
Description This project will replace fibar material at all Town playgrounds.
Location This project will be completed at various parks in Los Gatos.
Project
Background
A number of Town parks have playground structures that are heavily used by children and their
families. Playground safety codes require that the fibar material be spread under and around
playground structures to prevent injury to children.
Fibar replacement is required when the material is below a specific depth near the playground
structure. Fibar is a wood product that degrades over time based on foot traffic and weather
conditions. This material should be replaced on a regular, as needed basis. This is an ongoing CIP
project to improve the safety of the Town’s playgrounds.
Operating
Budget Impacts
This project will use staff time for construction inspection and management. The staff time for this
project is included in the department’s FY 2016/17 Operating Budget.

Project Name Plaza Park Improvements
Project Number 831-4203
Department Parks & Public Works Project Manager Superintendent: Steve Regan
Description This project will renovate the turf at Plaza Park.
Location The project is located at Town Plaza Park, at the corner of West Main Street and Santa Cruz Avenue.
Project
Background
Plaza Park, located in the heart of downtown Los Gatos, is a popular park and hosts a variety of
community events, such as Jazz on the Plazz and the Farmers Market. Because of the amount of high
foot traffic at this location, the turf is heavily impacted. This project will remove the existing sod and
soil. New soil will be added to the area to enhance root growth and to re-grade the ground to mitigate
standing water issues. Additionally, along with the installation of new turf grass, minor changes to the
irrigation system will be completed to maximize water coverage. The last time the turf was replaced
was approximately seven years ago. This project may be delayed further dependent on drought
conditions and restrictions implemented by the State of California.
The project will be completed during a period when there is the least impact on scheduled downtown
events.
Operating
Budget Impacts
This project will use staff time for the construction inspection and management. The staff time for this
project will be included in the department’s FY 2016/17 Operating Budget.

Project Name Park Rehabilitation - Bachman Park
Project Number 831-3104
Department Parks & Public Works Project Manager Superintendent: Steve Regan
Description This project will make improvements to the park pathway and lighting system.
Location The project is located at Bachman Park, bordered by Bachman, Belmont, and Nicholson Avenues.
Project
Background
Bachman Park is a small 3.6-acre neighborhood park close to downtown Los Gatos. The park features
a basketball court on the southwest side of the park, playground equipment, as well as a large lawn
area for recreational use. Over the last several years, the basketball court was resurfaced, the
playground equipment was retrofitted to be in compliance with consumer quality guidelines, and the
turf irrigation system was replaced. Other major park infrastructure improvements have not been made
to this park in many years due to limited funding.
This project will make improvements to the asphalt pathway as well as the park’s pathway lighting.
The lighting in this particular park is outdated and will be replaced with more energy efficient lighting
fixtures. The improvements will be scheduled in phases to minimize the impact on park users.
Operating
Budget Impacts
This project will use staff time for the construction inspection and management. The staff time for this
project is included in the department’s FY 2016/17 Operating Budget.

Project Name Worcester Park*
Project Number 831-4301
Department Parks & Public Works Project Manager Superintendent: Steve Regan
*This project was presented to Council as part of the Capital Improvement Program in FY 2015/16. The funds ($28,150) for
this project were put on hold pending resolution of funding needs for the Almond Grove Street Reconstruction project.
Description This project will make various safety and maintenance improvements to Worcester Park.
Location This project is located at Worcester Park, which is on Worcester Loop.

Project Name Blossom Hill Park – Little League Backstop
Project Number 831-3407
Department Parks & Public Works Project Manager Superintendent: Steve Regan
Description This project will replace the outdated backstop at the Blossom Hill Park baseball field.
Location This project is located at Blossom Hill Park, 16300 Blossom Hill Road.
Project
Background
The existing backstop at Blossom Hill Park was installed several decades ago, and does not meet the
current safety standards for use. This park is used heavily during the spring and summer months by

Project Name Tennis Courts Resurfacing –.Various Town
Parks
Project Number 831-4608
Department Parks & Public Works Project Manager Superintendent: Steve Regan
Description This project will perform necessary repairs, resurfacing, and application of a color finish and line
painting atop of the existing tennis court surfaces.
Location This project is located at the tennis courts at both Blossom Hill and La Rinconada Parks.
Project
Background
The seven tennis courts are used on a daily basis by members of the community and are also used as
part of the annual programming for adult groups through the Los Gatos – Saratoga Recreation
Department. Major failure to the court system will impact the overall use for members of the
community along with a number of outside organizations that use the facility for major tennis
tournaments.
The seven tennis courts have not been resealed since FY 2010-2011 and are in need of repairs to
eliminate cracking and chipping of the color coating play surfaces. Surface cracks allow for water
intrusion, which causes more damage to the court support structure and play surface. Preventative
maintenance is necessary to reduce the need for major reconstruction of the surfaces, and would reduce
the downtime of the courts.
Operating
Budget Impacts
There will be no operating budget impact as a result of this project. This project will use staff time for
construction inspection and management. Project delivery costs for this project are included in the CIP
project’s total cost. Project delivery costs are estimated at $14,000 or 10% of the total project cost.

Project Name Open Space Trail Upgrades Project Number 832-4504
Department Parks & Public Works Project Manager Superintendent: Steve Regan
Description This project will repair and replace old damaged retaining walls, fences, and embankments along the
trails in the Town’s open spaces.
Location This project is located at Santa Rosa Open Space, Heinz Open Space, and Belgatos Park.
Project
Background
The Town has a number of open space preserves that are under its jurisdiction. There are several
public trail networks that traverse the open space preserves in the hillsides. The aging process has
deteriorated a number of retaining walls and embankments along some trail sections. Without proper
repair and replacement, the possibility of failure of the trails will increase greatly. This project will
repair and replace several retaining walls that are supporting the trails and their embankments. In
addition, this project will improve the drainage system around the retaining walls to prevent further
erosion of the trails.
Operating
Budget Impacts
This project will use staff time for construction inspection and management. The staff time for this
project is included in the department’s FY 2016/17 Operating Budget.

Project Name Los Gatos Creek Trail Park Improvements
at Charter Oaks*
Project Number 832-4506
Department Parks & Public Works Project Manager Town Engineer: Lisa Petersen
*This project was presented to Council as part of the Capital Improvement Program in FY 2015/16. The funds ($30,000) for
this project were put on hold pending resolution of funding needs for the Almond Grove Street Reconstruction project.
Description This project will provide the initial design for raising the trail height on the Los Gatos Creek Trail near
Charter Oaks Drive.
Location This project is located on the Los Gatos Creek Trail adjacent to Charter Oaks Drive.
Project
Background
The existing trail at this location is lower than grade and floods during rainy seasons, causing safety
issues for residents and trail users. When heavy rains hit, this portion of the trail is often closed.
The design will allow for the development of a plan to make future construction improvements to this
section of the trail. Furthermore, a completed design plan for this stretch of trail will make it a more
viable shovel ready project for grant opportunities in the future.
Operating
Budget Impacts
There will be no operating budget impact as a result of this project. Project delivery costs for this
project are included in the CIP project’s total cost. Project delivery costs are estimated at $3,500 or
approximately 12% of the total project cost.
