CI Invites Public Input on Park's Future
Date: February 21, 2012
Time: 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Event Description
CSU Channel Islands (CI) invites the public to help shape the future of a 367-acre community park located on the CI campus. The University will host a workshop on Tuesday, Feb. 21, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the John Spoor Broome Library, Room 1360, to encourage public input, ideas and brainstorming.
The CSU Channel Islands University Park is an undeveloped expanse of foothills and meadows near the campus entrance bordered by Calleguas Creek. It is home to several hiking trials, dirt roads and a wide variety of native and non-native plants and wildlife. CI acquired the land from the County of Ventura in 2009 with the goal of creating a unique outdoor setting for the community to enjoy.
With funding sources scarce, development of the park will rely primarily on the availability of grants and community support. Future public workshops, an informational Web site, online survey, and focus groups are also planned, with the goal of creating a draft master plan in the fall of 2012.
