The city of Pleasanton will host its first community workshop next Monday to develop a comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan.

The plan is intended to be a significant guideline for changing the scope of recreational activities and facilities here.

As such, it will summarize themes, trends and community priorities, assess available resources, review existing and anticipated demographic conditions and provide strategies for parks, recreation programs and open space needs.

The first workshop will focus on the community's characteristics, recreation programs, trends & issues, and the role of parks and recreation in Pleasanton.

The workshop will be held from 6:30-9 p.m. Monday, Oct. 22 in the Veteran's Memorial Building, 301 Main St.
