BACKGROUND
On March 2, 2009, the City received a Project Grant amount of $3,740,998 from the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) pursuant to the Measure WW Park Bond. The funds are for the acquisition and development of neighborhood, community, regional parks, and recreation lands and facilities. City staff asked residents for their input on how they would like the money spent, and then chose to proceed with the top ten projects.
The amount of $515,452 in WW funds is allocated to the City to renovate the public restroom and team lockers at the San Leandro Ball Park. These facilities are over 45 years old and in need of refurbishment. This project will replace the interior finishes, partitions, lighting, and plumbing fixtures, as well as complete accessibility upgrades to these rooms.
