Poor idea. I've lived in Simi for over 40 years and I'm guessing the park district people don't remember the two mini golf courses that failed in the 1970's?! Not only is the location a poor idea, so is the idea that they will generate enough revenue to offset the cost of building ($19m?!!!!) and operations/maintenance. We do need more to do in Simi Valley, but this is not the answer. The novelty will wear off in a few years. If this were such a great idea, other communities like Thousand Oaks or Moorpark would be thinking about it, or would have done it. Why do you think Golf N Stuff or one of the other mini golf companies haven't tried to open a place in Simi - they probably know they can't make enough money, even with their arcades, bumper cars, etc. More poor city/park district planning :(
