Tiburon commission to review final draft of parks and recreation master plan

The Tiburon Parks, Open Space and Trails Commission will review the final draft of the town’s parks and recreation master plan at a special meeting set for 6 p.m. Oct. 24.

Commissioners will vote on whether to recommend the plan for adoption by the Town Council, which is scheduled to review the final draft at its Nov. 20 meeting. 

The plan is intended to guide the long-term use of Tiburon’s 70 acres of parks and open space, including the Richardson Bay Lineal Park system, which spans from Blackie’s Pasture to South of the Knoll Park and encompasses all the Old Rail Trail and adjacent green space.

The plan splits the town’s parks and open spaces into six zones and allows for a mix-and-match approach for potential amenities that range from an amphitheater and sports courts to playgrounds, pathways and a pool. However, any specific improvements or amenities would need to be individually recommended by the parks commission and approved by the Town Council. The commission last month created several subcommittees to explore possibilities for pickleball, a community pool and a standup paddleboard/kayak launch, as well as for improvements at the lineal-park system and neighborhood parks.

The town and consultant WRT have been working on the plan for nearly two years, during which time they’ve solicited public feedback through surveys, workshops and public hearings.

Residents can attend the meeting in person in council chambers at Tiburon Town Hall, 1505 Tiburon Blvd., or by teleconference using the Zoom app or by calling 669-900-6833 with meeting ID 810-7480-2867.

The final draft of the plan will be posted ahead of the meeting as part of the agenda at townoftiburon.org/281.
