The HARD Trails and Open Space Master Plan lays the groundwork for creating a connected trail system and open space network throughout the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District’s service area. The Master Plan will help the District more fully meet the recreational needs of a growing a diversifying community, while also creating positive benefits for active transportation and resilience in the context of climate change. The HARD Parks Master Plan, adopted in 2019, recommended the development of a master plan for trails, and that recommendation is being carried out here. At the same time, we are building on current pedestrian and bicycle plan updates by Alameda County and the City of Hayward. HARD and its partners have recognized that this effort is an important opportunity to align the goals and actions of the many jurisdictions that have a role in shaping our communities.
The Trails and Open Space Master Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors in August 2021.

Project Description
The Hayward Area Recreation and Parks District completed the Fibar Installation Project at 58 play areas in parks District-Wide. Fibar is an engineered wood product, which serves as safety surfacing in many playgrounds. With frequent use and displacement over time, fibar levels occasionally need to be supplemented. The project provided additional fibar at play areas to levels which were predetermined by the height of existing play equipment. With the completion of the project, each play area has upgraded accessible paths of travel and is filled to meet impact attenuation requirements. The fibar installation has improved the appearance of our play areas and provides a safe environment for children to enjoy.

Project Description
HARD is partnering with The Trust for Public Land (TPL) to design the new 1.43-acre neighborhood park in Ashland with community input. The project has been awarded funding from the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Grant Program- Round 4 (Prop 68) in the amount of $7,082,000.
This is one of three adjoining acquisitions for the Ashland area, along with adjoining property fronting onto East 14th St. and a new community center, as part of a collaboration with RCD Housing.
The park planning and community outreach process kicked off in fall 2020 and included the following efforts:
- The distribution of more than 500 flyers and 3,000 mailers;
- Extensive outreach through the District’s website, social media, and postings on streets surrounding the project site;
- A community survey generating over 90 responses; and a youth survey resulting in over 540 responses;
- 12 stakeholder meetings to gather community input; and
- Three virtual, public events to solicit community input on three design options.
Through the process, the community expressed their vision for the park to attract a multi-generation of users. The community’s preferences include trees and green space, terrace seating, a gathering area for a variety of group sizes, quiet space for outdoor study, a pathway loop, play areas for young children, places for teens, a multipurpose court, workout stations, and lighting for safety and security.
The preferred concept plan was developed based on the community input and presented to the board and the community on January 19, 2021.
See our Community Outreach page click the link below for more information and past presentations:
The demolition work is the first step of the future park development at Mateo Street site. The demolition work will start in March and end in April 2023. The actual park construction is anticipated to start in 2025 and complete in 2026.

Project Description
The District has partnered with Alameda County and the Trust for Public Land to plan and develop a community park/plaza to accommodate the needs of the Ashland community.
Ashland Common has been awarded a $7.3 million grant from the Statewide Parks Program – Round 3 (Proposition 68 – State of California Parks & Water Bond 2018). The SPP grant is intended to create new parks and recreational opportunities in underserved areas.
The project will include the design and construction of recreational facilities at the 1-acre site at the corner of 166th Avenue and E 14th Street in San Leandro. A series of community meetings were held in the spring of 2019 to develop a community-driven design concept for the new park.
The final master plan includes a community space to accommodate recreational uses such as a multi-purpose lawn, play areas, fitness court, interactive fountain, shade trees, seating, picnic areas, and restrooms. The site can also provide dedicated space for ACSO, which will be further activated with attractive functions including an outdoor stage for live entertainment, commercial space through the use of an open-air market structure, flexible outdoor event space, pop-up markets, and space for food trucks and mobile services.
Construction started May 2023 and is anticipated to be complete in 2024.

Bidwell Park & El Rancho Verde Park Master Plan Staff Report_5_6_19
Project Description
This project provides for the design and construction of park improvements at an existing park site. Improvements include renovated sports fields and planting and irrigation upgrades.
The master plan process began in summer 2019. Master planning of El Rancho Verde Park was done in conjunction with the Bidwell Park master plan.
Community Meeting #1 was held on Thursday, June 20, 2019 and an additional Community Meeting was held on Thursday, July 18, 2019. A preferred master plan, selected by the community on August 22, 2019, retains its primary use as sports fields, which includes one major, one minor, and one t-ball field clustered around a central plaza; scoreboard and scorekeeper booths; batting cages; sports lighting; shaded bleachers and dugouts; outfield viewing lawn; picnic areas; and new restroom/snack bar building. The concept plan also includes a children’s play area, which is a new neighborhood amenity that would attract other park users to El Rancho Verde Park. The HARD Board consequently approved the El Rancho Verde Park master plan in April 2020.

Bidwell Park Staff Report_4.20.20
Project Description
This project provides for the renovation of the existing park and the former Bidwell Elementary School to create a new community center in south Hayward.
The Bidwell Park master plan process began in the summer of 2019 and was done in conjunction with the master plan for El Rancho Verde Park. Community workshops were held in the neighborhood in June, August, and October 2019.
At the community meeting in October 2019, the community expressed support for the Bidwell Park master plan which incorporates park improvements they prefer in their neighborhood. The park is designed to be an attractive neighborhood amenity that welcomes users of all ages. The Bidwell Park master plan depicts two buildings along Fairway Street converted into a community center, an expanded children’s play area, walking paths, multi-use sports court area, bocce ball, group fitness court, event plaza, and gazebo, small- and large-dog park areas, picnic tables, trees, edible gardens, and an expansive multi-use lawn area. Diagonal parking is proposed along Fairway and Rousseau streets.
In November 2020, the environmental review per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was completed, and the Board of Directors approved the master plan for Bidwell Park.
The development of construction documents began in 2022. Demolition of a classroom building in the park interior was completed in November 2022 in advance of the park renovation.
The Hayward Area Recreation and Park District (H.A.R.D.) held an open house & workshop on Saturday, February 25, 2023, on the future renovation of Bidwell Park & Community Center. H.A.R.D. also received input from over 200 participants through an online survey!
On April 17, 2023, H.A.R.D. shall provide updates to the Board of Directors on the recent workshop and online survey results, and review park improvement priorities.
