Document Description
The District proposes to adopt and carry out the Nature Park Master Plan, which seeks to develop the existing passive Golden Hills Nature Park, formerly known as the Golden Hills Country Club. Proposed development would include a new District office, community center, maintenance building, and outdoor recreational facilities. The overall approximate footprint for the three buildings is 50,000 square feet.
Recreational facilities would be built out in approximately five phases, with each phase described below:
• Phase 1
o Approximately 2-acre Passive Area Parking Lot and approximately 5,000
square foot Pavilion, located at the northeast corner of Westwood
Boulevard and Woodford-Tehachapi Road.
o Approximately 2 miles of horse trails, connecting to the parking lot and
through the Nature Park property.
• Phase 2
o Approximately 5,600 square foot pavilion.
• Phase 3
o 0.67-acre Dog Park.
o Two multi-use courts.
o 2,500 square foot pavilion.
o 3,000 square foot playground area.
• Phase 4
o Two multi-use fields on approximately 8.1 acres.
• Phase 5
o Access roads connecting the Passive Area Parking Lot from Phase 1 to 3.
The phasing implementation of the recreation facilities may be adjusted based on funding available.
