Agenda Item 8.2
DATE: December 16, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Dublin Centre Neighborhood Park – Conceptual Design
Prepared by: Rosemary Alex, Parks and Facilities Development
Coordinator
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider the conceptual design for the 2.01-acre Dublin Centre
neighborhood park.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the presentation and approve the conceptual design for the Dublin Centre
neighborhood park.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Developer will bear all costs associated with the agreement, with the park being
developed in accordance with the City’s requirement for land dedication and park
improvement. The Developer will be granted fee credits in the Neighborhood Park
Improvement Fee category under the Public Facilities Fee Program.
DESCRIPTION:
The Dublin Centre housing and retail development (formerly called SCS Dublin) is located
north of Dublin Boulevard between Tassajara Road and Brannigan Street and extends to the
north of Gleason Drive. The Developer is working with the City to facilitate the design and
construction of a new 2.01-acre public park within the development, shown in Figure 1, in
accordance with the Park Improvement Agreement approved by the City Council on June 17,
2025. A concept plan for the park is provided as Attachment 2.

Community Input Process
The Community Input Process for the park design included collecting feedback from the
community (the Listening Phase), developing three conceptual plans for the park (the
Interpretation Phase), adjusting the community-preferred concept plan, and receiving
recommendations from the Parks and Community Services Commission (the Refining Phase).
The Community Input Process concludes upon approval of the concept plan by the City
Council. The public outreach process resulted in 660 participants who provided verbal and
written feedback regarding their preferences for the parks.
Listening Phase
In early August 2025, Staff provided direct mail communications to the neighborhoods
surrounding the park, as well as emails to a Parks and Community Services Department
distribution list to receive community input. The communications included a link to a survey. As
a result of the public outreach, the City received 402 responses to the survey. Survey results
are provided in Attachment 1.
Interpretation Phase
After the Listening Phase, the consultant team analyzed the feedback received from the survey
and developed three design concepts for the park. The design concepts were entitled The
Promenade, Touch the Earth, and Wonder. The second engagement with the public occurred
during the City’s Splatter event on September 13, 2025, where 258 community members
visited the project booth that presented the three design concepts.
At the conclusion of Interpretation Phase, 127 votes were received that favored the Wonder
design concept, while the design concepts Touch the Earth and The Promenade received 79
and 52 votes, respectively. Featu res that received positive feedback included trees with
flowers/seasonal color, grassy mounds and hammocks, open turf, and a playground, with
swings and monkey bars in the play area.

Refining Phase
Staff, the Developer, and the design team, Roach and Campbell, further refined the design for
the Wonder concept based upon the public input and the concept plan cost estimates. To stay
within the agreed-upon project budget of $1,834,591, the Wonder design was refined to
include large areas where turfgrass, shrubs, and trees were removed or reduced in size, and
replaced with large areas of wood mulch. Subsequently, the Developer offered to provide an
additional project contribution of $158,335 to fund reverting the large wood mulch areas back
to areas that include either shrubs or turf, larger sized trees, and the irrigation system needed
to support this landscape.
The Wonder concept plan, as presented in Attachment 2, includes the following amenities:
Reservable picnic area with shade elements and BBQ
Combined playground for ages 2 to 5 years and 5 to 12 years
Relaxation area with hammocks
Grass area for free play
Trees for shade and seasonal color
Interior pathways for circulation
Bordering the park on the east side is a 12-foot-wide Class I Bikeway and pedestrian path
lined with trees that will also include a bike repair station as well as bike racks. These adjacent
amenities add to the experience of the park site.
Parks and Community Services Commission Feedback
On November 17, 2025, the Parks and Community Services Commission recommended
approval of the Wonder concept plan with a few requested alterations such as more
barbecues. In reviewing the overall space this site offers, Staff believes the current plan
provides sufficient barbecues, picnic tables, and shade on the most northern parcel and is well
suited to serve the immediate residents’ needs. Therefore, Staff does not recommend
additional barbecues.
The Commission also expressed interest in additional flowering tree species. Staff will further
review the selection of tree species to ensure that flowering varieties are included, that they
align with trees selected for the overall development, and that they are suitable for the local
climate and attract pollinators.
The Commission further expressed some concern regarding perceived conflicts with
pedestrians, bicyclists and e-bikes on the proposed Class I multi-use path proposed along the
east side of the park and fully separated from vehicle traffic. However, this Class I path is
designed to the standards of the Caltrans Highway Design Manual and includes a 12 -foot
paved trail and two-foot-wide shoulders that are designed to accommodate pedestrians,
bicycles, and e-bikes. Additionally, a parallel Class IV separated bikeway will be constructed
approximately 300 feet to the west of the park along Tassajara Road , to provide an alternative,
dedicated facility for cyclists. The location of the Class I and Class IV paths are consistent with
the City’s adopted Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. The City Council also recently adopted
Ordinance No. 06-25 establishing local regulations and enforcement tools for e-bikes to reduce
potential conflicts between pedestrians and traditional bicycles. Together, the Class I shared -
471
Page 4 of 4
use path and the parallel Class IV bikeway help ensure that safe facilities are available for all
modes of transportation.
Finally, the Commission expressed interest in pedestrian safety at the intersections along the
linear pathway. The pedestrian crossings at each street intersection along the linear pathway
are designed to City standards. The intersection at Finnian Way, which connects the retail
parcels to the south boundary of the park, will have a flashing beacon and crosswalk. The
other intersections along the linear pathway at the neighborhood streets include crosswalks
that conform to City standards.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
None.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
The City Council Agenda was posted and emailed to the individuals who participated in the
public meetings.

Lovely to have a beautifully structured long walking lawn that connects to nature
More hanging out should bevthere
I think it should either be located along Tassajara or along Brannigan NOT in the middle of that new development.
I don't think the proposed area is enough to justify the proposed goals. We need more green, spreading across the area also.
I live nearby (Bellevue Circle) and overall, I’m supportive of the goals. That said, I’d really like to see the park designed in a way that feels peaceful and welcoming for the local community without turning into a destination that brings in big crowds or traffic issues. A few things that I t hink w:ould hp el Keep parking limited or
controlled to avoid spillover into th e neighborhoods.Make sure there’s a solid maintenance plan — trash bins, cleanup, etc.Include areas that are quieter and more nature-focused, not just active zones.Aim for smaller community-driven programming over big events.Also, having things like shaded seating, walking paths, and some natural barriers
Our extensive park system already easily meets goals one and two. We need more nature focused park activities.
How about having outdoor exercise equipment at the park?
All of this development is coming at the cost of reduced open spaces, so any chance to integrate nature with the community is welcome. I would also like to see Dublin becoming more pedestrian-friendly, and so planning to have physical activity and socially connecting is important.
The park is already close to the Emerald Park which fulfills goals 1 and 2. But we need a lot more trees and nature scenes.
Parking is limited in Dublin. We need parking.
Just create more parking for the neighborhood. No parking available in that area already. We don’t need a park we need more parking as residents. We have plenty of parks.
Goal 3 is vague
Will be in a very dense and connected community already.
A thin slice of land like this can hardly provide connection with nature. Unless there is a plan to cover this up with lots of trees.
I would rather have the park than more housing. Dublin is crowded as it is.
Lots of building being built in Dublin and I see trees being just planted. In maybe 15-20 years, it will be green
Too confined space between homes to serve as an active recreation area
nature in the strip between the buildings..not Nature..by building this complex you have destroyed nature already. stop being pretentious about it.
I don’t care about the other people in the community connecting with me when I’m at the park with my kid.
What nature? All of the development in the area has wiped out anything natural.
I feel we have plenty of natural beauty nearby.
I have no idea what “passive recreation” is. But I have no strong feelings against Goal 1.
Too small to satisfy community
The park is not a park. It's a glorified walking path. It will become extra "yard" space for the residents immediately adjacent to the "park". Anyone else will simply be an intruder or passing through. Why on the west side closer to Emerald Glen? Put it on the East side and support residents who have a longer walk to a real park. Or in the middle so there is
equity for residents? And why not demand that each block get an equal amount of "park" space per resident?
focusing on nature is what our community needs most.
Other parks nearby already have similar functions
That's not what the park is there for. Connecting socially will likely result in more concrete and less trees.
Dublin has plenty of parks already that promote a connection to nature. It would be better to have a park that promotes art and culture.
Re #1 The only recreation I'm interested in is hiking. Re #2 I don't see a park as an instrument of connecting the community than greeting people in a grocery store.
It’s not clear what this would mean. If it means picnic/party areas then I’d prefer indoor community party space as outdoor spaces are unusable most of the time due to cold winds and weather
We already have enough parks in goal 1 and 3. Do something novel with goal 2
We all know Dublin is BIG on nature. Like the hikes and walks and being able to see green. That’s why most people who move out here love the greenery!
N/A
There's already a large space to nature in Emerald Glen Park, utilize the space for recreation opportunities will be more efficient.
I would like it just be nature, there is a park right near by that provides for goal 1 and 2
Emerald Glen is right across the street and seems to already fit goal 1 and 2
There is bigger Glen park available near by for that.
Don't understand what 'connect the community physically and socially' meant. Will like to see the project bring more nature (e.g trees/garden paths/benches) in.
Suggestion: 2 separate off leash dog parks- 1 for large dogs and 1 for small dogs.
We already have a lot of parks in the area that meet the other two goals. Since this area will also have some businesses/commercial would be nice to use this park to connect to that somehow.
How will the park provide neurodiverse kids an opportunity to enjoy the facilities?
The park is too small for a community that large
The park needs to be unique and different. Lot’s of enchanted lights and entertainment for kids and adults around a water feature fountain!
Dublin has many parks already. What we need is a family friendly plaza where we can hang out grab food ice cream and coffee and spend time with family and friends. I would love to have a place like city center in san Ramon in our city
Yes
I dont care about nature that much.
I just don’t have interest of goal 2.
Many of the parks are surrounded by dense housing which defeats the purpose of enjoying an outdoor space
I don’t know what is meant by “active and passive recreation”
I want to see more wilderness, more greenery, more walkable sidewalks. I want less of the high density housing which causes traffic, pollution and crowding.
Wasting of city tax payers money for some private park for a community. Instead improve the parks that are neglected on the West part.
The shape of the park is not looking conducive to too many recreation opportunities.
How can a tiny park “connect with nature” when it’s surrounded by multi story buildings?
Dublin is rapidly growing and evolving. We need to ensure we continue to prioritize nature and connecting our people to it. This is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, let's not just cover it in concrete.
too narrow of a space to realistically experience nature.
No one will use goal 3. Too small of an area to do so anyways.
We need more community gathering space.
WOULD RATHER SEE LEANING TOWARD NATURE
Emerald Glen Park is right next to the proposed park.
I think the park space should be wider to relieve your eyes from all the buildings.
N/A
Goal 2 is my lowest priority. I prioritize fitness stations and just being outdoors.
Considering it's such a narrow strip of land, divided by a major road, I don't see a lengthy opportunity like a running trail or physical exercises opportunities. I think it would be better to create social spaces, not exercise spaces. This could be nature-oriented, but again it's a small amount of real estate. I think picnic tables, benches, maybe some outdoor
me spaces, would benefit the densely packed people living nearby. For exercising they should continue to Emerald Glen park across the street. For "further nature", they should continue further to the Tassahara Creek trail. This dense living & shopping area needs social spaces that are free to be in & become social, just downstairs or across the street
#2 does not explain how the park will connect with a diverse community.

Art
Dog area
Good bicycle access to and from the park, restrooms, water refill stations
I would like to see all of Dublin Parks well maintained. Martin Canyon is not.
I would maybe like to include something a bit more unique than all the other parks at dublin: I feel like if there was a specific spot for yoga or aerobics there would be lots of popularity.
spray pad/misting center
Shaded playground structures! Not enough in Dublin!
Apart from the shaded areas, lots of trees would be great if possible. I also like parks where I can sit at one place and watch my kid from a distance without blind spots.
botanical garden
Pickleball courts, basketball, good lighting for night walks and playing
Water feature
Trees. Many new parks lacks tree shade.
Pickleball, tennis, big grass area
2 enclosed off leash dog parks - 1 for large dogs and 1 for small dogs
Splash feature / water play
No. But i want to emphasize that this park should have things that are not present in other nearby parks. For example, shaded lawn spaces. We and our friends spend most of our times in San Ramon city center because it has everything in one - shaded lawn spaces, water play, shops, restaurants. If Dublin can offer that through this project, this would be a go to place for families and attract foot traffic from other cities.
water play. there's not enough in Dublin. have to go to san ramon for it.
Statues/Public art
Bathrooms
Pickleball courts
Enclosed dog park
Pool please. We do not have any community pool in Dublin
