3. PARR TOUR:
Community Center Park
Chair Dubreuil inquired as to utilizing this park for
placement of some of the seniors' amenities, since its
location is next to the Senior Center. Ms. Lindley
explained that the Community Center Park is very
heavily used during the day, and the size of the park
could not accommodate the seniors needs.
Villa Campesina Park
The installation of play equipment at some future date
was discussed. Ms Lindley stated that two picnic
tables are currently on order.
Glenwood Park
Ms. Lindley pointed out a large portion of open sand
area by the playground equipment, and utilizing it can
be addressed at a later date. She also stated that
plans and cost to install the necessary equipment to
meet ADA standards will be provided to the Commission.
r
Commissioner Dubreuil indicated that when the time
comes to consider a Skatepark, Glenwood Park should be
considered.
Arrovo Vista Communitv Park
It was noted that the handicapped parking spaces at
the gravel parking lot need to allow easier access
into the park. There are currently wooden poles being
used as car stops, which impede entrance directly from
the lot.
The Commissioners discussed the placement and
aesthetics of the storage bins belonging to the sports
organizations. The location of the proposed restroom
was also discussed.
The location for the senior sports was discussed.
Tierra Reiada Park
This park is very heavily used on the weekends, and
park staff has done a great job on keeping it well
maintained.
Mr. Walter informed the Commission that basketball
hoops are on order. They are continually broken from
participants "hanging" on them.
Peach Hill Park
Since the purchase of new play equipment is scheduled
in the near future, types and styles were discussed in
general. It was suggested that a more "challenging"
theme may be considered for this park, focusing on
children 6 years of age and older.
Mr. Walter explained that
the backstop needs to be
located to another spot.
Campus Park

This neighborhood park tends not to be heavily used on
the weekends. This is probably due to its location.
Griffin Park
The Commissioners all agreed that the new play
equipment looks great. One piece needs to be repaired,
and since the installation has been so recent, it was
discussed that another piece of equipment may be
better suited for the structure. This would eliminate
having to replace the same part again, if the
replacement breaks as quickly.
A ramp to complete the ADA requirements for the
playground will be researched.
Campus Canyon Park
Ms. Lindley stated that replacement of the play
equipment is scheduled for this fiscal year. It was
noted that parking is a problem. Mr. Walter stated
that the park is heavily used all week. Parking can be
a problem, and since space is very restricted, it does
not seem feasible to install a parking lot.
4. ADJOURNMENT:
The Park Tour was adjourned at 3:10 p.m.
