Document Description
Project would improve the Hill Recreation Area including: replace existing natural turf fields with two synthetic turf playing fields; add pickleball tennis courts; add bocce courts with canopy and lighting; modify the Hill Gymnasium restroom; add to and improve existing parking, circulation, and stormwater facilities; and other ancillary improvements. Both fields would be fenced with 8-ft tall black or grey vinyl coated fencing or galvanized chain link fencing. Improvements to the Hill Rd/Arroyo Avichi Creekside parcel would occur along the edge of Hill Rd and include a Class I multi-use pathway and three picnic areas. Approx 4 trees would be removed to accommodate the trail, and approx 12 trees would be planted. Hours of operation would remain the same (sunrise to sunset) except for use of the bocce courts which would be allowed until 10 pm.
