The Commission and staff met at the Community Center
and arrived at Poindexter Park at 12:40 p.m.
Poindexter Park
Chair Dubreuil suggested replacing the wood fiber
surface material in the play lot closest to the
sand /water play station with sand. This would
alleviate the problem of the sand mixing with the wood
fiber. Staff will confirm whether this proposed change
would effect the park's ADA status.
It was noted that the California flag needs to be
replaced, and the handle on the drinking fountain,
near the north baseball diamond needs replacement.
Villa Campesina Park
Chair Dubreuil asked if the Parks and Recreation
Commission would have an opportunity to review any
study or future plans for a trail along the Arroyo.
Commissioners expressed a desire to see picnic tables
and benches installed in the park. Staff explained
that Villa Campesina Park is a Zone of Benefit and any
improvements made would need to be funded by the
surrounding property owners.

Glenwood Park
The Commissioners had positive comments about the
newly installed play equipment at Glenwood Park. They
expressed a desire to purchase additional equipment to
fill out the play lot. Staff indicated that a cost
comparison was being done on the installation of fibar
versus rubber tiles. The Commission noted that
Glenwood Park does not have a restroom.
Arroyo Vista Community Park
The Commission viewed the newly constructed softball
field. Two representatives from Moorpark Packer
Football met the Commission to discuss their proposal
to install temporary lights on the practice field.
The Commission also viewed the site for the eight
lighted tennis courts. The need for additional parking
was also discussed. The skylight in the men's restroom
is broken and needs to be replaced.
�- Tierra Rejada Park
The Commission noted the vandalism inflicted on the
tennis court windscreens and also discussed the
problems experienced with the drywall material used in
the restrooms. Tierra Rejada seemed to be a popular
and well -used park.
Mountain Meadows Park
The Commissioners noted some minor "pop outs" on the
basketball court. The old wooden equipment needs to be
scheduled for replacement.
Peach Hill Park
The Commission expressed an interest in replacing the
wooden play equipment as a top priority. The drinking
fountain near the softball field was broken and needs
to be repaired. Commissioners noted the good condition
of the softball field.
Virginia Colony
There was some minor graffiti and the coating on the
picnic tables and benches is peeling. The fence along
the southern property line needs to be repaired. The
Commission noted that there was no one in the park.
Campus Park
The Commission indicated an interest in replacing the
wooden play equipment, but it was not considered a top
priority since the park receives limited use. The
drinking fountain was leaking.
Griffin Park
The Commissioners were told the new equipment had been
ordered and should be installed by April.
Commissioner Pflaumer suggested that the City begin
replacing the wooden benches throughout the park. The
problem with gophers was noted.
Campus Canyon Park
The Commission expressed a desire to replace the play
equipment since the equipment is old and outdated. The
park receives heavy use, and there is money in the
park's Improvement Zone. It was noted that the
basketball court has a lot of "pop outs ". The
dinosaur spring toy is cracked and needs to be
addressed.
Country Trail Park
The Commission viewed the newly installed tile and was
told that the fibar would be removed. Commissioner
Pflaumer stated that he liked the type and style of
the benches and tables.
Community Center Park
The Commission discussed the amount of use the park
receives after school. It was noted that the fence was
a newly added feature that helped prevent children
from darting out into the street.
