The Simi Valley City Council unanimously approved a proposed $18.8 million, 38-acre miniature golf and recreation park that has been several years in the making.

Many of the proponents, wearing white T-shirts emblazoned with the words “Sinaloa Park. Yes!,” said the project is much-needed for the city’s children and teens.

By Carissa Marsh  Email:  cmarsh@theacorn.com


Not in my backyard. That’s what residents who live closest to Sinaloa Golf Course on Madera Road are saying about the proposal to revamp and expand the course to include three 18-hole miniature golf courses modeled after national parks. To them, the design may look good on paper, but it’s in a terrible location. More...

NOTE :

The  Park District  is  attempting  to  secure  a  Conditional Use Permit  by convincing  the City  that  the  low  density  property  zoning ,  though  it   allows  for  the  current  "regulation"  golf  course,  be  changed  to  COMMERCIAL - RECREATION  zoning  which  is  "required"  for  a  project  such  as  Sinaloa  Park . . .

 WE  MUST  DO
EVERYTHING  POSSIBLE  NOT  TO  ALLOW  THE  CITY  TO  GRANT
THE  ZONING  CHANGE  THROUGH  A  CONDITIONAL USE  PERMIT
FROM  RESIDENTIAL  TO  
COMMERCIAL  RECREATION AT  SINALOA  GOLF  COURSE  !!!!!!!

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.

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, and  playground.

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.

 

Major  IMPACT Components:


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.

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.

 Passive Park Area: The 3-plus acre passive park features a playground with rubberized surfacing, 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.

Parking Lots: Two connected parking lots provide the community room with 109 parking spaces, and the golf and park amenities with 195 parking spaces. A total of 304 parking spaces will service the entire facility.
