Valley View Plan Reviewed
Residents were asked to add their thoughts about what to include in the new Valley View Park this past weekend. This 24-acre undeveloped open-space with scenic views of Castro Valley near Carlton Avenue and Sydney Way will have trails for hiking, picnic areas, and meadows that support the local ecosystem.Play structures, sports fields, and other features are being considered. Hayward Area Recreation and Park District (HARD) sponsored the third of three in-person community input sessions at the Kenneth Aiken Senior Center. HARD is expected to host an online survey of the plans and take in further public comments before presenting the plan to the Castro Valley MAC in October. HARD says it has $10 million in funding from Measure F1 Bond (2016) already set aside to start the project. Total costs will be determined by how many amenities the community requires.
