3 issues in parks rec with high priority
Park maintenance: signs, sidewalks and trees
Sunset Place residents say city-owned sycamores are cracking foundations, backing up sewers and clogging irrigation, and want them removed and replaced. The city paused removals after the HOA insisted replacements be sycamores only, and staff warned replanting sycamores just repeats the cycle.
Roller hockey rink multi-use concept
The city surveyed residents about turning the community center's roller hockey rink into permanent pickleball courts, and the skating community showed up in force. The council chose to keep the rink multi-use, sparing roller hockey, roller derby, and youth skating while pickleball stays shared.
Park renovation bids cancelled and re-bidding
Upgrades at Cabot, El Conejo, MacKenzie, San Remo and Veeh Ranch Parks are headed out to bid — construction should follow once a contractor is picked.
