The Hayward Regional Shoreline Adaptation Master Plan was commissioned in 2019 by the Hayward Area Shoreline Planning Agency (HASPA) a joint powers agency consisting of representatives from the City of Hayward, East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD), and Hayward Area Recreation and Park District (HARD).
The Project consists of an approximately 2.5 mile non-motorized bike and pedestrian trail at Point Molate.
The Park District is planning for 3.89 acres of new parkland at Robert W. Crown Memorial State Beach, as well as street improvements along McKay Avenue, in the City of Alameda. The project called the “McKay Master Plan” developed a conceptual plan for the area that provides new recreational amenities and increases shoreline resiliency.
The future Regional Park is in the Los Medanos Hills between Concord and Pittsburg. The 2,500-acre site, along with undeveloped land along this border, forms a greenbelt between the municipalities. The Regional Park site is divided into two sections north and south of Bailey Road.
HASPA Sea Level Rise Study
The Park District is planning a new regional shoreline park on the northwest portion of the former Alameda Naval Air Station, also known as Alameda Point. Development of the 158-acre future park - which has a working name of Northwest Territories Regional Shoreline - will occur in phases and include an extension of the San Francisco Bay Trail.
This study evaluates the vulnerabilities facing the East Bay’s shoreline and proposes nature-based adaptation projects for the Park District.
With additional funding approved July 2, 2013, by the East Bay Regional Park District Board, 82,600 cubic yards of sand will be pumped onto Crown Memorial State Beach and Alameda Beach between September and November 2013.
The Restore Hayward Marsh Project seeks to plan for sea level rise and habitat resiliency, expand public access, enhance wildlife habitat, increase shoreline resilience, and improve the ability of the District to adapt to future conditions.
The Park District has prepared a Sanitary Sewer Management Plan (SSMP) that addresses the four parks that operate over one mile of sewer lines.
