The project is included in the Town of Danville's Capital Improvement Program and will also serve unincorporated residents in Blackhawk, Diablo, and Alamo.

The Park Impact Trust Account funds proposed for use were generated from impact fees collected in unincorporated areas near the park and that will benefit from the improvements.
