INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Moorpark Master Plan is to provide the
Moorpark City Council, Moorpark Parks & Recreation Commission
(M.P.R.C.), and general public with a guide when developing and
acquiring park and recreation facilities.
It will serve as a statement of general policy and desired
city standards for location,-and development of public parks and
accompanying facilities, as well as, community open space areas.
It should be noted that the Master Plan is a document which
should be periodically reviewed and revised to reflect the
changing desires of the community. It will be necessary for the
plan to include projected long range goals and short term goals
to satisfy the immediate and future needs of our rapidly
changing city. The National Recreation and Park Association,
N.R.P.A., endorses this and indicates that objectives of a plan
should be no longer than ten years with planning action cycles
of no longer than two years.
It must also be stated that specific standards listed within
this plan should be considered as a minimum level and should be
expanded as resources are made available.

COMMUNITY LOCATION
Moorpark is located in the southeastern portion of Ventura
County. It lies approximately 50 miles north of Los Angeles, 25
miles south of the City of Ventura and 14 miles inland of the
Pacific Ocean. Geographically, Moorpark lies within a shallow
valley that stretches from Simi Valley to the east, thoughout
Moorpark, and broadens onto the Oxnard Plain and Pacific Ocean to
the west.
Moorpark is located at an average elevation of approximately
500 feet. The climate is mild with an average temperature of 70
degrees, falling to its lowest point of 30 degrees in winter, and
rising to 100 degrees in summer. Its average rainfall is 13 inches
a year, with 90% of its precipitation falling between the months
of December and March. Moorpark is classified as a coastal
metropolitan area by the "Guide for Planning Recreation Parks in
California."
According to the 1980 census, the gender of the population is
evenly divided as 50% male and 50% female. The age breakdown of
the 1980 census is as follows:
34.6% of population under 19 years of age
10.6% of population over 55 years of age
54.8% of population between the age of 19 - 55
Family composition is broken down into 85% married couples,
11% single parent and 4% single. The projected population in
1990 is 23,020 and 35,740 in the year 2000. These population
projections represent the "Ventura Countywide Population
Forecasts," adopted by the Ventura County Board of Supervisors 1985.
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION GUIDELINES
Objectives
The objectives of the M.P.R.C. are: 1) to provide park area
and recreational activities that fulfill the community's interests
and needs; 2) to encourage private recreation facilities; 3) to
aid in enhancing the City's overall recreational package; 4) to
encourage the public to participate in determining the future
needs of the community's parks and recreation program; 5) to
encourage the City in preserving open space and hillside properties
to enhance the natural aesthetic qualities of Moorpark; 6) to help
in preserving the scenic, historical and cultural heritage of our
community; and 7) to provide these amenities within our financial
capabilities.
T
c
Principles
To ensure that the objectives are pursued in the most efficient
way possible, these principles are to be followed:
1. The City will keep an open line of communication
with public agencies (i.e. School District,
Moorpark Community College and Ventura County)
to see that our objectives are met and eliminate
a possible duplication of effort by other agencies.
2. The park and recreation facilities will serve at
least one of the three (3) levels of the park;
neighborhood, community and regional (as defined
on page 6).
3. The standards set forth in this plan will be
followed in the acquisition and development of
future park sites.
4. To protect the surrounding environment and property
values, parklands must be evaluated prior to the
development of a park site.
S. The design and location of recreational facilities
should allow for a minimum of maintenance cost and
maximum public use.
6. The design of parklands should be multipurpose to
satisfy the greatest number of community needs.
7. Periodic surveys should be taken to determine the
interests and needs of the community.
(Included in Appendix A are the Moorpark Parks and Recreation
Standards)
MOORPARK PARK FACILITIES AND RECREATION ACTIVITIES
COMMUNITY SURVEY
The M.P.R.C.'conducted a survey in October of 1984. The
purpose of this survey was to enlist the help of the community in
determining the needs and desires of the people who reside in
Moorpark. Approximately 10,000 surveys were made available to the
- public through local newspapers, stores and neighborhood councils.
Of the 129 responses received, 110 were returned on a City survey
form, 19 were returned through newspaper survey forms and eleven
responses were invalidated.
The results of this survey suggests a strong desire for
facilities that support organized sport programs for youth and adults.
It also suggests that family oriented facilities and activities should
be a part of the Moorpark park system. Tot lots, picnic areas and
community swimming facilities ranked high in the results of the
survey.
- 3 -
� � t
The development of adult sport programs,:such as,adult softball
and volleyball, appear to be of high priority to those who responded-
to the survey. Youth programs of great interest are baseball /softball
and gymnastics. The results of the actual survey are included in
Appendix B.
The questionnaire has been used to help develop this Master Plan.
The results have helped define interests and guidelines that the
Master Plan will include and implement. The Moorpark Parks and
Recreation Commission will continue to periodically survey the
public to help shape the parklands of Moorpark and better serve the
City's residents.
METHODS OF LAND ACQUISITION
The City of Moorpark has adopted an ordinance pursuant to the
"Quimby Act ", State code Section 66477, requiring developers when
developing a residential tract to dedicate land or equivalent money
in lieu of land. The Quimby Act, amended in 1982, states that three
acres /1,000 persons is the maximum that can be used, unless the amount
of existing neighborhood and community park exceeds that limit. In a
case where the amount of existing neighborhood and community parkland
exceeds three acres per 1,000 population, the legislative body may
adopt a higher standard, not to exceed five acres /1,000 persons and
not to exceed the actual acreage of the neighborhood and community
parks owned, leased or jointly administered by the juridiction per
1,000 population at the time of the last federal census. Pursuant
to Section 66477(b) in the Ordinance implementing the "Quimby Act"
the City shall specify the number of persons per household for each
type of dwelling unit.
Moorpark's local ordinance states that the developer will
dedicate five acres of land per 1,000 people that the project
accommodates. When land is not available, or when the developer chooses
not to give land as approved by the City, the developer is required to
give the City 1200 of the appraised market value of the amount of land
otherwise required to be dedicated. This method, which is recommended
by the N.R.P.A., is the simplest and most efficient method possible to
keep pace with the demands for parkland in our rapidly changing
community. To insure that this standard works appropriately, the
following factors must be evaluated and adjusted as needed:
1. Time and distance from parks
2. Demographic profiles
3. Socieconomic factors
4. Cultural and ethnic characteristic
S. Geographical location
6. Climate
7. Special urban conditions
8. Local tradition and customs
9. New recreational trends
10. Quantity and quality of existing facilities
11. Private facilities
12. Available resources
13. Expressed needs and desires of citizens
- 4 -
" Currently the National Recreation and Park Association
recommends a standard of ten acres of land per thousand persons.
Below is listed the utilization of ten acres per thousand as
recommended by N.R.P.A. The additional five acres of land per
thousand persons,not included in the Moorpark local ordinance
need, is met through the use of regional parks, such as, the
proposed Happy Camp Canyon Park, Tapo Canyon Park, Santa Susana
Mountain Park and the developed shoreline parks. A playfield,
which is not a classification of park, in our plan, may be
included in either a neighborhood or community park.
1. Playfield 1.00 acres /1,000
2. Neighborhood Park 2.50 acres /1,000
3. Community Park 1.50 acres /1,000
4. Regional Park 5.00 acres /1,000
Land for park use may also be obtained through purchase with
funds paid by a developer under the "Quimby Act" State Code, funds
from state or federal grants, funds from private donations or funds
from the City. Land for park use may also be leased. An example
of this would be the leasing of Southern California Edison
right's -of -way property for linear parks.
CLASSIFICATION OF PARKS
This classification of parklands is taken from the N.R.P.A.
and modified to serve the Moorpark region. The size of these parks
and the areas they serve are reflective of national and state
standards. Parkland Zone Area maps are located in Appendix C.
There are five such classifications of parks:
MINI PARKS
Mini parks are a highly localized type of park. Their size
ranges to a maximum of 2.5 acres. They will serve a population of
500 to 2,500 and consists of tot lots, picnic tables and landscaping.
Because of the small size and relative high cost per acre in
maintenance of these parks, mini parks should not be considered in
the Moorpark Master Plan. Exception to this might be in the
Downtown area (Zone 1 & 2).
NEIGHBORHOOD PARK
The neighborhood park should range in size from 2.5 to 16
acres. The optimum size should be 6 acres or more. The optimum
service range should be an approximate 1/2 -mile radius and will
serve 2,500 to 5,000 persons.
Whenever possible, neighborhood parks should be adjacent to
school property. This will permit the joint use of facilities and
reduce the need for acquisition of additional land. It should also
serve to prevent a duplication of recreation facilities in close
proximity to one another. The minimum features of a neighborhood
park should include a baseball diamond; open turf for soccer; touch
football or other field games; tot lots; picnic facilities with
barbeque features; open space for informal play and parking.
-5-
COMMUNITY PARK
The community park should consist of 16 acres or more and should
serve a population of approximately 15,000. Community parks larger
than 16 acres should serve residents according to the above designated
ratio.. The service area for community parks should be no more than
three miles in radius. A community park should be developed to
include features for all aqes and adequate oarkina facilities
to accommodate high flow of vehicular traffic. Features of a community
park should include lighted and unlighted play fields for softball,
baseball and soccer; courts for basketball, tennis,volleyball,
handball and other court games; preschool apparatus and play apparatus,
such as, tetherball and hopscotch for older children. The community
park should have a multipurpose recreational building and include a
gymnasium for basketball and other indoor activities. These parks
should include areas for individual picnics, group picnics and open
space for other passive,leisure activities. Swimming facilities
may also be included if deemed appropriate.
REGIONAL PARK
Regional parks are generally in excess of 50 acres. They are
not within the City's maintenance responsibilities, however, they
are included in the City's parkland development plan. They are
generally located within a one hour drive from the area they serve.
Typical facilities of regional parks include camp grounds, hiking
trails and nature study areas. Beaches, lakes and golf courses are
classified as regional parks. Although the City of Moorpark is not
responsible for the development of regional parks, it will cooperate
with Ventura County to make certain the regional park needs of -the
City are met. Some of these areas might include 1) Happy Camp
Canyon; 2) Tierra Rejada and 3) Off Highway Vehicle use site, all
of which are now in the planning stage with Ventura County.
OPEN SPACE
Perhaps the largest single source of recreation in Moorpark
lies in the hills and mountains surrounding it. Within these areas
lie countless hours of recreation through hiking and equestrian trails,
with the possibilities of future picnicking areas. When possible, park
linkage corridors are to be designed with the intention of preserving
open space along selected canyons, ravine and ridge lines. Also,
park linkage corridors are to be located in conjunction with equestrian
and hiking trails and as corridors between parks and natural areas.
They will enhance the usage of all facilities, as well as, preserve
natural biotic communities. The City recognizes and encourages the
need for preserving open space and the development of Nature Parks.
Preservation of Hillside areas will be imperative to maintaining the
natural beauty of Moorpark.
EXISTING FACILITIES & FUTURE NEEDS
Moorpark currently has a population of approximately 15,500
people. The projected population of Moorpark at build out will be
approximately 35,000.
Currently Moorpark has 11 acres of developed parklands with a
projected need of 175 acres at total build out. The City, therefore,
has a need of 164 acres of additional developed parkland to meet
the need for the projected build out of approximately 35,000
residents. Appendix D indicates the status of the City's local parks.
Consideration should be given to existing and proposed school
facilities when developing community recreation buildings and
_parkland. Where possible, future parks could be located to compliment
future school sites so as to provide combined facilities of maximum
usefulness for recreational and educational purposes. A summary of
existing Moorpark Unified School District facilities within the City
is shown in Appendix E.
FUTURE NEEDS
To meet the needs of our rapidly developing community, within
two years, the City should develop approximately 35 acres of the
proposed community park. This development, in conjunction with
existing parkland and the building of the proposed North Meadow
Park (8 acres) and Peach Hill Park (10 acres), will give the City
of Moorpark a total of 64 acres of developed parkland. These
developments, provided they are completed within the two -year
projection, will bring the City close to its parkland need. Due
to the limited number of active park sites currently in the City,
Peach Hill Park is being developed with some of those amenities
normally found in a community park. Because of the shortage of
parks in the downtown area of Moorpark, the City should explore all
possibilities of acquiring land in this area. Any acquisition of
parkland in this area will greatly improve the Moorpark park system.
Joint use of school facilities at Flory, Chaparral and Moorpark
High School may alleviate some of the shortaae of recreation facilities
on an interim basis.
The projected population for the City of Moorpark in the year
1990 is 23,020. At this time, Moorpark will have a projected need
of 115 acres of parkland. With the development of the Community Park,
much of this need will be satisfied.
In 1995, the projected population for the City is 29,590 and
will, therefore, have a need of 145 acres of parkland. At that
time, there will be more of a demand for parks in the northern area
of the City. These parks should be.located close to the downtown
area. The need for a community park in this area may be met by the
development of Happy Camp Canyon Regional Park.

Zone Identification
Moorpark has been divided into seven zones to specifically
identify the needs in the various areas of the City. Maps of these
areas are located in Appendix C. Listed below are the various zones
with the applicable populations and parkland With the
development of the Mountain Meadows Communit�Park, many of
organized sports recreation needs will be me •
be designed to provide lighted and unlighted sports fields for active
play for the entire community. However, it will be important for
each of the various zones to acquire parklands to provide active
and passive play areas close to the developmen t they

Zone 2 is currently lacking of any facilities. The City should
explore all possibilities to remedy this situation. The aquisition and
development of a total of 12 to 15 acres would satisfy the current need.
Any one park site selected should be approximately six acres in size.
In response to this need on March 17, 1986, the City Council, based on
the the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Commission, directed
City staff to: (1) pursue a possible lease /purchase of the lower fields at
the High School site (2) work with the property owners of the Geisler
Field Area (property located between Shasta Avenue and Chaparrel School,
bordered on the north by Poindexter Avenue and on the South by Lassen
Avenue), and (3) investigate the possible purchase of property to the west
of the lower fields at the High-School site. It is imperative that the
City work with the School District to improve the present school sites to
help satisfy the recreation needs in this area on the interim basis.
Currently Flory Elementary School, Chaparral Middle School, and Moorpark
Memorial High School are used for organized youth sports and recreation.
Due to the lack of parksin zones 1 and 2 the City
consider acquiring park sites of less than the de

within these zones. A park located within any of

Camp Regional Park (undeveloped). When Happy Camp is developed, it
should be designed in a way to satisfy some of the area's needs. The
City should acquire and develop an additional 12 to 15 acre parcel of
active parkland. An alternative to meet short -term needs would be to
utilize Moorpark College for some recreational needs until the City
can develop the Community Park in Mountain Meadows.

Zone 4 currently has the Peach Hill Park. This park is currently
in the final design process and will be completed by late 1986. Peach
Hill Park is planned with 5 active playfields and is a 10 acre neighborhood
park facility. This, in conjunction with approximately 9 acres of private
recreational facilities, which help absorb the day to day use within the
neighborhoods, will satisfy the immediate neighborhood park needs.
Because of the shortage of other available land in Zone 4, consideration
will be given to acquiring additional acreage east of Moorpark Road, a
5 acre natural area which may be improved to permit passive use on a
lower portion of it.

Zone 5 is a planned community containing 3 proposed 8 -acre
neighborhood parks and one 69 -acre community park. It will also
contain 20 private recreational facilities geared toward adult oriented
leisure time activities. The City should ensure that the park facilities
are built prior to the needs of the population. This is especially
important when considering the development of the Community Park. The
standard states that a community park should serve a population of 15,000
people; the City of Moorpark reached that level as of January 1986. The
City should develop at least half (35) acres) of the park at this time.
When the Community Park is fully developed, it should serve to satisfy
the community park needs of all of Moorpark.
ZONE 6
Heatherwood /Buttercreek Area
Existing population 1,843
Projected population 21142
Developed facilities in acres 4.5
Current need in acres 9.2
Projected facilities need in acres 10.7
(at build out)
Zone 6 contains Glenwood Park, a 4.5 acre neighborhood park and
Buttercreek Park, a 13 acre facility situated adjacent to the Arroyo
Simi. Buttercreek Park, due to its location, would in all likelihood
be restricted in use as a passive park. It might be in the best interest
of the City to sell or trade Buttercreek Park to help satisfy the park
needs of zone 6 and other areas in Moorpark.
-10-
ZONE 7
Remainder of the City of Moorpark
Existing population 210
Projected population 5.500
Zone 7 currently consists of agricultural uses and other non -urban
uses with the exception of the Carlsberg property in the southeastern
portion of the City. Growth in this area is expected to be slow. The City
should designate park sites for potential dedication and development in
this area as development proposals are reviewed..
-11-
SUMMARY
The City of Moorpark will derive many benefits from a properly
prepared and implemented Parks and Recreation Plan. The implement-
ation of this plan should bring about an increase in the land values
of the City of Moorpark. It has been proven in other areas where
parks and recreation facilities have been developed that the land
values of surrounding areas have increased and that the areas have
become a more desirable place to live. The primary reason for this
plan is to improve the quality of life through the development of
the environment for recreation and leisure. It is also "believed that
the City of Moorpark will be able to maintain much of its beauty and
provide adequate open space and recreational facilities to the citizens
of Moorpark through implementation of this Parks Master Plan and the
Open Space, Conservation and Recreation Elements of the General Plan.
