Objectives
Create a beautiful, peaceful setting dominated by trees, rolling hills, and large water features that is accessible by car, bicycle, and on foot
Provide predominantly passive recreation
opportunities to gather, picnic, and play in a family-oriented environment
Serve as a memorial to Julius M. Kleiner, who bought the land out of a love for the American farming tradition,
and who exhibited a life-long devotion to philanthropic endeavors
Develop a civic center to include a Senior Center and a Library so that all generations are able to experience community
and promote education in the park setting

Early Alternatives
Things we considered and eliminated:
Single access from Records
Satellite parking
Road network only connecting civic and recreation complexes
Staying south of canal instead of crossing
it
One pond
Locating amphitheatre closer to civic complex
Multiple maintenance/service areas

Opinion of Cost
Total contribution by Kleiner Park Trust: $25 million
*Does not include off-site roads (Records Rd., roundabout), off-site utilities, or irrigation improvements. Additional costs for these items will be incurred as part of developer agreements.
*Includes 20% contingency.
27
Phasing
Kleiner Park Trust anticipates they will design and construct the park as currently planned
If costs exceed the Trust’s budget, elements may be prioritized and phased
Budget does not
include any additional recreational facilities (rec center, aquarium, tennis, aquatics). There is a “place holder” in the master plan for a 25,000SF building footprint and associated
rec use parking
