Message From The General Manager

Last year was the driest year on record for our area and the Governor has declared a drought emergency throughout California.  Southern California water agencies served by MWD reportedly have enough water stored to get us through another year.  But what if there is below average rainfall over the next twelve months?

Water Usage Reports 

Turf Conversions

In response to the current ongoing severe California drought, rapidly escalating water prices, and statewide policies and laws encouraging the reduction in the use of outdoor water (especially turf), the Conejo Recreation and Park District is continuing its water conservation efforts. These include:

• Projects to convert non-essential turf to wood chips and/or drought tolerant plants. We have turned off water on portions of nearly every park, totaling approximately 70 acres. See maps below for each park.
• Projects to modify and upgrade irrigation systems
• Projects to use reclaimed water for irrigation
• Modifying the annual field refurbishment process    

Below are turf conversion maps for each park.
