WELCOME  TO  www.SinaloaPark.info


April 7, 2008



NEIGHBORING  RESIDENTS will be getting a letter very soon advising that the studies (traffic, noise, hydralic studies, etc.) are ongoing. 

Additionally, R.S.R.P.D. is making good progress on the Business Plan for the project (hours, staffing, financial proforma, marketing, etc.).  Currently  it  is approximately  60-70%  complete . . . when finalized the traffic and noise consultants will review and make appropriate changes based  upon  number of users,  hours, etc.







Jan  19,  2008

We  have  established   positive  "open  communication"  with  Mr.  Ed  Hayduk,  Assistant  G.M.,  R.S.R.P.D.  who  has  agreed  to  meet  with  us  and  discuss  concerns / suggestions / ideas  relating  to  the  Sinaloa Park Project.   Attending  the  Park  Board  meetings  can  and  should  be  minimized  since  it  is  believed  we  can  be  much  more  efficient  and  effective  working  directly  with  Mr.  Hayduk  in  our  continued  effort  to  bring  the  "best  project  possible"  to  the  currently  planned  Sinaloa  Golf  Course  Expansion   

Your  comments,  suggestions,  concerns,  requests  and  ideas  are  welcomed  so  that  we  can  present  them  to  Mr.  Hayduk  and  the  Rancho  Simi  Recreation  &  Park  District  during  future  scheduled  meetings  and  project  discussions.

Please  email 
JOE@SinaloaPark.info  with  your  valued  input !!!!!!!



   YOUR  INPUT  IS  IMPORTANT !

THE  PROPOSED  PROJECT  LOCATION:


Sinaloa Golf Course – The Rancho Simi Parks & Recreation District
plans to redevelop the existing Sinaloa Golf Course and adjacent
property located at 980 Madera Road, Simi Valley, CA.  93065.

The 38-acre project involves removing the driving range from
he existing 25+acre golf course on
Madera Road  and developing
the additional  13+  acres that are now vacant to the south.






THE  CURRENTLY  PROPOSED  "Revised" PLAN:

                             Presented  by  Hogle-Ireland  on 12-18-2007  at
                             Neighborhood  Meeting  held  at  Best  Western Hotel




                                     Sinaloa Park   Revised   Project Description:


Golf Course: The existing 18.9-acre, 9-hole pitch-and-putt golf course will remain, but the driving range will be eliminated. The golf course will be slightly modified with the reconfiguration of holes number one, two and nine. All other holes will remain the same.

Golf Teaching Area: A new .62-acre golf teaching area will be added near the 9-hole pitch-and-putt golf course. The teaching area will include a practice putting green, pitching area, and sand trap area.

Miniature Golf Courses: Includes three 18-hole miniature golf courses featuring a natural environment of cascading water falls and a themed, varied landscape. Five reservable picnic shelters suitable for group events and parties are located within the confines of the 2.4-acre miniature golf course area.

Community Room: The community room is an approximately 4,850 s.f. facility which can be used for meetings, parties, wedding receptions, and other occasions. It has its own parking lot to allow a separation of this facility’s vehicle and foot traffic from other park amenities. The building includes a 2,900 s.f. multipurpose room, a 460 s.f. kitchen, restrooms, storage and delivery areas, and an equipment room. Its 2,000 s.f. outdoor patio overlooks the lake and golf course.

Clubhouse Building: The 4,950 s.f. clubhouse will house the park’s administrative offices, pro shop, restrooms, food concession kitchen and dining areas. The building will include outdoor admissions and food concessions windows, and will feature an 800 s.f. outdoor dining area/sitting area which overlooks the lake and golf course.

Freestanding Restrooms: A freestanding restroom facility is provided at the entrance of the passive park area for the convenience of park patrons utilizing the picnic facilities and open turf, playground, and children’s splashpad areas.

Reservable Picnic Shelters: Two 900 s.f. reservable picnic shelters will each seat approximately 75 people. Amenities for each shelter will include a barbecue, outdoor sink, serving and prep tables, and electrical outlets.

Plaza and Seasonal Ice Rink: A 55,000 s.f. plaza provides a pedestrian linkage between the park’s amenities, and contains a fountain that serves as the central focal point for the pedestrian entry and waiting area. A 500 s.f. seasonal ice rink will be placed over a portion of the lake near the plaza entrance during the holiday season.

Walking Paths: Walking paths featuring bridges and views of the golf course, lake and miniature golf areas provide convenient access throughout the park.

Passive Water Features: Waterfalls, brooks and streams weave between and around areas of the miniature golf course and flow into two prominent lake features. The community room and clubhouse overlook one lake, and the other is located in the passive park area.

Passive Park Area: The 3-plus acre passive park features a playground with rubberized surfacing, children’s splashpad, sand volleyball court, shade trees and an open turf area. It is bordered by the meandering walking path. The playground will include tot and preteen play equipment and swings, and will be located near the entrance of the passive park and the freestanding restrooms. The children’s splashpad will have a colorful, flat, rubberized surface with ground sprays that squirt up from the surface. The splashpad will also include above-ground interactive water play features; for example, a rainbow that allows the children to get wet as they run through it or spray cannons that allow the children to shoot water at one another.

Parking Lots: Two connected parking lots provide the community room with 61 parking spaces, and the golf and park amenities with 201 parking spaces. A total of 262 parking spaces will service the entire facility.

and  land  use  continuing  "as-is"  for  the  BMX  Track  will  not  be
disrupted  due  to  the  sale  of  the  property.
