A Message from the Manager 3
Welcome to our 2011 Spring/Summer Recreation Guide. Time sure does fly by when you are having fun! On June 1st, the

S P R I N G / S U M M E R 2 0 11
City will celebrate its 20th Birthday. When the City was incorporated on July 1, 1991, the Parks and Recreation Department
didn’t own any facilities in which to hold recreation classes. All classes were held in schools. Now, we have three facilities with
more needed. In 1991, the population was approximately 19,000 and it is now currently over 101,000. We had eight parks in
the City and now we have 50. We offered one special event, which was the Egg Hunt and now we have 20+ special events
throughout the year. I have seen a lot of good changes in the past 20 years!!
We completed two neighborhood parks this year – Grizzly Ridge Park and Calle Estancia Park. California Oaks Park and
Firefighter’s Park had new playground equipment installed with shade covers. Each park has two sets of play equipment for
different age groups. In addition, we opened the Murrieta Equestrian Park on Juniper Street and Hayes Avenue. We are also in
the process of doing the master plan design for the 37 acres of Phase 2 of Los Alamos Hills Sports Park. Torrey Pines Park will
be built in the coming year and it will include our first dog park.
With the wet winter we had, the native flowers will be in bloom. This is a good time to get that exercise you want and enjoy
the scenery at the same time! Take a walk or bike ride on our nature trails, or just enjoy the outdoors at
a neighborhood park. There is a lot to do in the City and a lot of trails and parks to explore. Visit a new
park and see other parts of the City. You might find something you really like!
The Community Service Department continues to offer you a wide variety of recreation classes and
programs for all ages. Please take the time to look through this brochure and see all that we have to
offer. You won’t be disappointed!! Remember to join us for the City’s 20th Birthday Bash at California
Oaks Sports Park on June 25th. It is a wonderful family experience; don’t forget to invite your friends
to join you.
As always, we look forward to seeing you as a participant in our classes or at our special events.
If the staff can assist you in any way, please give us a call at 304-PARK (7275).
We invite you to come PLAY with us!
Sincerely,
Debbie Tharp
Community Services Manager
