A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Phase I of the Civic Center Master Plan is almost complete with a beautiful new City Hall and native landscaped open space. Phase 2 is now underway, which includes a feasibility study for a new Sunnyvale Main Library. Your input is important to us as we develop conceptual plans to present to the City Council. Please consider participating in one of our surveys (online through the QR code on this page) or in person at the Library or Community Center and tell us what you would like to see in a new main library! Sincerely, Michelle Perera Director of Library and Recreation Services

Future of the Sunnyvale Main Library PA R T I C I PAT E A N D S H A R E YO U R V I S I O N

Scan the QR code to fill out our online survey: The Sunnyvale Main Library is a vital place for culture, connection, and life long learning within our community. Built in 1960, the Library has not been renovated since 1983. We are not able to meet the demand for programs and services with the current facility. We are exploring revitalizing the Library as part of the Civic Center Modernization project. We want to hear your thoughts to ensure the project meets the needs of the community.

Let’s bring this vision to life together! For more information, visit: Sunnyvale.ca.gov and search “Future Main Library”

Community Center Park Grounds Renovation

An upcoming project will renovate the grounds of the community center including: ponds, walkways, turf and open spaces (not buildings or parking lots) GOALS OF THE PROJECT INCLUDE: Enhance recreational opportunities • Expanded programming use areas • Incorporate outdoor recreational areas Increase attractiveness • Renovation of water features • Landscape improvements • Updates to benches, seating areas Sustainable improvements and reducing utilities • Reducing areas needing irrigation • Reduction/upgrade of water features • Upgrades to pathway lighting

City Council approved the design in January 2023. Construction will take place in 2024-2025.

Learn more about the project at Sunnyvale.ca.gov, search “community center grounds” or call 408-730-2751.

Water Walking

Come and discover the fun and fitness of water walking. Use the resistance of the water to build strength and endurance while moving in all directions and at your own pace. Water walking can be particularly beneficial and accessible for those with back pain, a joint replacement or mobility difficulties as you can practice proper mechanics while bearing only 25% of your weight. Start your walking program right at the edge of the pool using the walk-in entry. No swimming skills or equipment required.

Emergency Card Requirement

For Camp or Super Safari Preschool Participants To participate in any City of Sunnyvale camp or Super Safari Preschool, all children are required to have an online emergency card on file. The City of Sunnyvale has partnered with ePACT Network to offer an easy-to-use, safe and secure system for families.

How Do I Fill Out an Emergency Card Online? After registration, the parent/guardian will receive an email from ePACT Network (member.support@epactnetwork.com) to fill out the emergency card online. This must be completed before the first day of the program.

Youth Recreation Scholarships Sunnyvale residents may apply to cover registration fees for youth (ages 17 and under) with up to $500 per approved child, per annual funding cycle. Recreation Scholarship fund availability is limited and subject to the availability of funds. Any funds not used are forfeited and cannot be carried over to the next funding cycle, nor used for another child.

How to Apply Applications are available at the Sunnyvale Community Center, Columbia Neighborhood Center or online at Sunnyvale.ca.gov. Please allow two to four weeks to process your application.

COVID-19 AND OTHER COMMUNICABLE DISEASES: I agree, understand and acknowledge, that an inherent risk of exposure to the disease COVID-19 (as defined by the World Health Organization and any strains, variants, or mutations thereof) and SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that can cause COVID-19) (collectively, “COVID-19”) and any other communicable or infectious disease, exists in any public place where people are present. “Communicable disease” means any disease or illness caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi that can be spread, directly or indirectly, from one person to another. “Infectious disease” means any disease or illness caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi that enter the body, multiply and can cause an infection.
