UPDATE ON THE CONCEPTUAL PARK PLAN OF THE FUTURE WESTLAKE VILLAGE COMMUNITY PARK

AUGUST 2010

At its regular meeting on Wednesday, July 28th, the City Council received a presentation by the City’s park consultant, MIG on a conceptual design of the future Westlake Village Community Park. The City held a series of public outreach workshops during the months of May and June and received input from the community on the location and design of the above-ground elements to be included in the new Community Park. The results of these community workshops and several draft conceptual park plans were presented to the City Council for their consideration in evaluating a final park master plan for the project. At the July 28th meeting, it was the consensus of the City Council to select the Blue plan as the preferred design option for the future Westlake Village Community Park.

The site of the future Community Park will also include the Triunfo YMCA facility which together will provide both indoor and outdoor health and well-being activities for children, teens, older adults and families. Located on the northside of Thousand Oaks Blvd., west of Lindero Canyon Road in Westlake Village, this 18-acre site will ultimately include a full-service YMCA facility, and eight acres of City sports fields along with various other recreational amenities. Parking and ingress and egress to the site will be shared by the City and the YMCA.

The development of this overall project is being constructed in two separate phases. Phase I involving the construction of the master pad commenced in July 2009, and the grading and drainage portion of this work was recently completed. The remaining components of this phase include the construction of the underground utilities; pump stations; slope landscaping and irrigation; and access and maintenance roads. Phase I development is expected to be completed in early 2011.

Phase II of the project includes the separate development of the above-ground City park improvements and the separate YMCA facility. The City affiliated non-profit Westlake Village Community Foundation and the Triunfo YMCA will be undertaking a necessary capital fundraising campaign to offset the separate park and YMCA improvement costs for this second phase. Although the timetable for this phase of construction has not been established, it is anticipated that the projects may be constructed in phases over several years as funds become available.
