Businesses are realizing their vision here in one of the many office parks or by creating their own development in the abundant available property. The City supports planned growth that fosters new opportunities and a balance of jobs, housing and services that benefit this diverse and vibrant community. With award-winning schools, busy retail districts, fine dining, hotels, easy freeway access and comprehensive mass transit systems, Dublin is the ideal business destination. ~: ..: 1,~~e 2(/`~,ere y~x 1,iv~e Long before the City saw its business growth, Dublin was simply a great place to live. The City's many residential opportunities offer something for everyone -from town homes and condominiums to luxury estate homes - in both established neighborhoods and new masterplanned communities. Many areas are reserved for open space and community recreation. Central to Dublin's development is a dedication to the elements that create an environment where people love where they live. Explore the vast hiking and biking trails that provide views of majestic Mt. Diablo, or take advantage of the many parks -fourteen in all -that offer something for everyone. Alamo Creek Park consists of eight acres with basketball courts, Mape Memorial Park provides sand volleyball courts and Emerald Glen boasts one of the largest skate parks in the Tri-Valley. The Dublin Civic Center, Dublin Senior Center, Dublin Heritage Center and Dublin Swim Center are also popular facilities for community gatherings. The City strives to develop and implement quality programs for all ages that provide recreational experiences, encourage healthy lifestyles and preserve the City's proud heritage. As the City continues to develop, additional parks and facilities will be added to accommodate the growing population. _., ,_. ~- - ~~~ii ° ~ ~a~ ~R~ r~ a t e~ v -~ I Y ~I V {/ / Y ~/ // /~I V `/ V/ VV V W Dublin's award-winning educational system includes six elementary schools -all offering child care -two middle schools, as well as Dublin High School and Valley High School. The schools in the Dublin Unified School District have been honored time and again with the California Distinguished School designation. The City has contributed substantial financial resources to technology programs that provide our youth with the skills and tools to succeed in a constantly changing world. ,~ ~, °°~+h.; . ~ w ~'`~ . ~ , ~ ~. ~" F ~4 . ~ F, H# ~ ` ,~ __ __ w k ~ ~~i ~~ ~~ 1 ~, ~ ~~~.~a;. . .~ ~ ~..~. ~, ~~ '?~-~.., ~ 'r e'~ 17~e cooperative relationship between the city and its schools is evident in their commitment to work together to uccornmodate the growing needs of the community. =_ s,~ ~` ..,. ~: «~ ~,~'' ~" k ~ ~ L •`4 l f. ,% `, . ~~ ~~ ~: ~, ~ ~'~ ' ~ C k ,~ 'LU`~ere Bx,rix~rf 2Uahtr tv Be What began with a simple but powerful philosophy continues to guide the City of Dublins visionary approach to economic development and community expansion: business thrives where people thrive. Now, in addition to the splendid recreational and sporting facilities that have long been associated with Dublin, the City has entertainment and shopping to rival any in the area. Dublin and its surrounding communities offer excellent shopping -from malls with national and regional chain stores, to neighborhood plazas with specialty shops. The Hacienda Crossings Shopping Center includes such name tenants as Best Buy, Old Navy, Barnes and Noble, and includes a 21 screen movie complex -the largest in the Tri-Valley complete with astate-of--the-art IMAX screen. A wonderfully diverse variety of restaurants and other cultural activities are all now available without leaving the City. Hacienda Crossings oj}ers a variety of dining and shopping experiences -including astate-of-the-art IMAX theater. x~ f ~ ' ,~'_ 4 f g ,; ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~_ ~, "~' ~~ ~ ~ `~ ~ e` ,fir` r ,~ ,`. r ;i i `) t ..d 1 ~~ ~' ~~~' ~d%~N„ "~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ n v~'r,..~'j ~ ~7 ~~ re . 1~~ ~ ~ S~ ~ r; ~ n «~> 3"'m bR ~ ~~ ~xr ° "~' ~ ~ « .. ,~ ~~ `MW ~ .- "~ ~ vx ,~ ,n . ~~ ~~ ~. r~ ..._ . t`~ ~~ ~ ~ i .;~ -~J`i C" -Y;~ + 1 f i ~ VV//l~ l~V / VYV ~`_e~ ~a Dublin is one of the few places in the Bay Area with both a prime ~~, ~~ location and plenty of land available for development, while protecting our vital open spaces.

Wine connoisseurs are only a hop, sip and jump from both the neighboring Livermore wine country and world-class Napa Valley and Sonoma wine regions. If you're willing to spend a couple of hours behind the wheel, you can be sampling fresh seafood in Monterey or relaxing at a Calistoga spa. Also within easy reach are dozens of beautiful lakes and the Sacramento Delta offering a variety of water sports and recreation. Skiing in the Sierra Mountains and the natural splendor of Yosemite National Park are both within day-trip range. Whether your professional and personal needs take you around town or around the globe, Dublin is the destination of choice for corporate citizens and their families. A friendly small-town spirit, award-winning schools, excellent recreational facilities and community services, as well as a low crime rate, make Dublin an inviting place to live.
