PARK CONSTRUCTION CLOSURE
The Calabasas park system is getting renovated! Thanks to the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, most of the facilities and parks have received or will receive major updates. Due to the ARPA funding requirements, the projects must be completed by 2025. This means there will be construction in the parks during the summer months. However, don’t fret—at least four parks will remain open throughout the city at all times for summer play and activities. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to enjoying a beautifully updated park system with you!
