that park. The possibility of building restrooms at Griffin Park
was also discussed.
Chairman Crockatt requested staff to make a recommendation of
improvements needed for each park. The Commission, during general
discussions, made the following budget recommendations:
o Include a budget to alleviate the water problems at Peach
Hill Park;
o Offer a swimming program through the summer months and
include the costs of busing to Simi Valley, YMCA, Thousand
Oaks, or a private club.
o Offer gymnastics and possibly run the program at the Old High
School gym in Moorpark. If Boys & Girls Club purchases the
Old High School gym, maybe the City could work out an
agreement with them for use of the gym.
o Offer field trips /excursions /sports events in the summer
months and throughout the year. Eleven trips were suggested
with possibly 8 in the summer, 2 at Christmas time and 1
during Easter break. Trip suggestions included Disneyland,

o Offer Saturday movies.
o Offer summer golf program.
o Offer concerts in the park.
o Install pay phones in every park. Staff reported he has a
meeting scheduled with Pacific Bell regarding the
installation of pay phones in the parks. If the phone
company installs the phones at their request, there is no
charge to the City, and they are responsible for maintenance
and vandalism.
