Miss Finch introduced the community services report and said the department won an Award of Excellence for its volunteer recognition program and that Commissioner Tom Munoz would receive a state-level community award at the annual CPRS conference. \"These are very prestigious and competitive awards,\" Finch said.

Finch and other staff also recounted a life-saving response at the Circle City Center in early February. Staff members Luis Ponciano and Avrina Ramsey and several bystanders, including Kenna Gunter and Jay Chancellor, performed CPR and used an AED while Fire Station 2 responded in less than two minutes, staff said. Finch urged residents to consider CPR training and noted the Fire Department offers free CPR lessons and group training that can be requested through the city website.

On capital projects, parks staff said equipment for the Victoria Park splash pad was delivered on site and construction began February 24; staff estimated an early- to mid-summer opening depending on weather and unforeseen issues. The division reported three new playgrounds are complete pending punch-list work at Fairview Park, Border Park and Mountain Gate Park; ribbon-cutting dates will be scheduled after final inspections.

Finch also previewed seasonal programming: spring break kids club (full-week day camp during school break serving grades K\t6; about 120 spaces; registration fees $130 for residents and $180 for nonresidents), multiple guided hikes and a new Music & Arts Festival scheduled for Saturday, April 19 from 1 to 8 p.m. at the historic Civic Center. Staff said the festival would include more than 50 vendors, live art demonstrations and headline musical acts.

Commissioners thanked staff for the awards and for the life-saving response at the Circle City Center and asked staff to continue outreach on sponsorship opportunities for Arbor Day and other volunteer events. There was no formal action on the administrative report; staff said more detailed project timelines and ribbon-cutting notices will follow.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting - 3/11/25","oneSentenceSummary","Staff reported two statewide awards, described a February cardiac-arrest response at the Circle City Center that involved staff and bystanders using CPR and an AED, and provided construction and event updates including the Victoria Park splash pad timeline and upcoming Music & Arts Festival on April 19.","taxTitle","Corona City, Riverside County, California","taxId",5799,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6640121,"Players ask Corona to extend lighting, add shade and nets at Border Park pickleball courts",227,507000,734000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2556348-7c8ce16bba222dabd5f29685e30372cb&start=507&end=734","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2556348-7c8ce16bba222dabd5f29685e30372cb/thumbnail_507000.jpg","/articles/6640121/Corona-City/Riverside-County/California/Players-ask-Corona-to-extend-lighting-add-shade-and-nets-at-Border-Park-pickleball-courts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6640121-a5807d83de0f0d63aab36431f42a780a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138636&Signature=DhEc-4z-v2NUWMHphxtNNdscbk2BtaNU1QcHP~HTPXbMffyEYmvW7hPCNE7-MoKKU5vBj5MYaXGhDh-rFICIRJpFUm5Rief9GaAJJbftj2Bi5v3Yl3dRkGsvFfhbjBuGQUper0ceW~icLSODsLBrAXgXWzD0xmMBAI0jvOJcF7V5Iq~pxsuW1Ve~RoOeqw7~ZQdXfVqFT4Mu3w8x~sJRGGeojlg6uFMhdqHCBn3IBhwykglti9n4pOWfpM6b1b63EisS0FlRcg1mtScCGrVDlc14OJhv72tuQ1weoljWjYX7kZSNc-oXhU-sERJvS95kpl3eRAK7jKe-sUHd~OL3zQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Several Border Park pickleball players and residents urged the Parks and Recreation Commission to make safety and amenity improvements to the Border Park courts, including extended or staggered court lighting, permanent nets, shade structures, water fountains, seating and bike parking.

\"Border is more than just a place for pickleball — it's a hub for connection, recreation, and overall community health,\" said Steven Young, a resident who told the commission he lives about a mile from the park. Young asked the city to \"support and fund our requests\" for shade, permanent nets, water fountains, better lighting for safety, a first aid kit, seating and \"foremost, a bike rack to secure others, as well as my bike while we're playing pickleball.\"

Dana Lopez, another Border Park player, described a recent fall she said occurred when the park lights and a safety light were turned off at 8 p.m., leaving areas in darkness. Lopez said her injuries required physical therapy and that she is asking the commission to consider keeping the court lights on until 8:15 p.m. (and safety lights until 8:30 p.m.) to give players time to secure equipment and safely leave the courts. \"This small change would enhance safety to all of to up to those of us navigating to our vehicles after 8PM,\" Lopez said.

Player and volunteer Mike Wagner told the commission the Border Park pickleball refurbishing project was completed largely through volunteer labor and donations, including \"$5,000 plus donation from the Parks and Rec Foundation\" and about $5,000 in individual donations; he said hundreds of volunteer hours went into resurfacing the courts at no cost to the city. Wagner requested the city consider leaving a temporary wooden stairway put in during construction as a permanent entry in addition to the ADA ramp, and asked staff to consider adding shade over waiting areas for spectators.

A written comment from Debbie Cortez made similar requests, suggesting permanent signage, extended lighting or a 15- to 20-minute post-closing lighting buffer, permanent nets and additional courts with individual courts, proper lighting and restrooms.

Commissioners acknowledged the concerns and thanked players for their volunteer work. Several commissioners noted the presence of an AED at Border Park and expressed support for exploring lighting adjustments and shade solutions; there was no formal action or motion on Border Park improvements during the meeting.

The commission did not set a timeline for any facility changes; staff and commissioners asked players to continue providing feedback and indicated the matter could return to a future agenda for further discussion and possible formal action.","Multiple Border Park users urged the Parks and Recreation Commission to improve lighting, shade, permanent nets, seating, water and bike racks at the Border Park pickleball courts and to allow slightly later lighting cutoffs to improve safety; speakers also described volunteer-led court refurbishing and donations.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6640126,"Commission recommends Skyline Heights revisions after developer adds parks, trails and parking",3085,2951000,6036000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2556348-7c8ce16bba222dabd5f29685e30372cb&start=2951&end=6036","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2556348-7c8ce16bba222dabd5f29685e30372cb/thumbnail_2951000.jpg","/articles/6640126/Corona-City/Riverside-County/California/Commission-recommends-Skyline-Heights-revisions-after-developer-adds-parks-trails-and-parking","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6640126-917cc2f57be0fea9d94dd82ca1bd9587/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138636&Signature=IGS1hVJ-WnffuAYzd5TRtiijXY5AZ9mYNXcAd-SgJW66e6dIkP4aNMw9Hq2gU-wEzhNgHNkKJ4YAxgOVHQjbK0je7qrS0yBKSt4FIk8b26tKUM4kYqOC49UdNfaQ0ikMGrCr5QqgukqvEy9FiV92u1Mc9vUqkUj4H6Bmz6xtgzRzYBG2yAae3qBuUijp5eIuI6R204iY6sG5K2UnTQoPUGpzwUcNSDUujekrdwKvUwTgx~wMc7lXeLKL-MaOLytbsqHilxTnGRH9pcn8WkLKWP92FFZxgPo8toPhmLhVEQLryrQnpJafPvS5Ic3SalIqsO43gBuwVV671WymMEVbdw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Parks and Recreation Commission on Tuesday recommended that City Council approve revisions to the Skyline Heights residential development after developer Richland Communities presented a redesigned plan that adds public parks, trail connections and parking.

The proposal, presented by Bridal Hardy of Richland Communities and landscape architect Jeff Trojanowski of Baxter Miller Landscape Architects, would increase the development's required parkland to nearly three times the amount previously required under the City's standards and add three public parks, three trailheads, a pump track, a dog park and multiple trail connections to the existing Skyline trail network. The project site was approved in 2016 for 292 units; the revised plan seeks to reconfigure the project to add public amenities and to formalize trail access through the site.

Commission staff said the developer funded the trails master plan and that the revisions were shaped to align with both the Trails Master Plan and the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. “They actually increased by 3 times their requirement for parkland,” a parks staff member said during the presentation. Trojanowski described the design approach for trails and trailheads, saying the project will keep as many existing routes as possible while rerouting others where grading or construction requires changes.

Supporters from the local mountain-biking community urged the commission to preserve as many existing trail alignments and exit routes as possible. “All these trails are what made Skyline what it is today,” Dwight Woodward said, thanking the developer and staff for outreach. Bradley Biggie, who identifies himself as a longtime area rider, urged the city and developer to continue community engagement and to add educational signage addressing mixed uses, such as cautioning against headphones on single-track trails and asking dog owners to leash pets on technical sections.

Developer and staff responses addressed several concerns raised by commissioners and members of the public. Trojanowski said major trailheads would include kiosks, drinking fountains, bike-fix stations and raised crosswalks at three points to slow traffic where trails cross roadways. Staff said the project includes significant parking—intended to reduce off-site parking demand at nearby trailheads—and that irrigation and plant selection will emphasize drought-tolerant species; long-term maintenance was described as funded by a proposed Community Facilities District (CFD) rather than the city general fund.

Commissioners pressed staff and the developer on specifics including how long riders would be on asphalt through the community before re-entering off-street trails, the interface between downhill cyclists and casual trail users, ADA access to the kite park, restroom facilities and maintenance costs for new park acreage. Staff said the project team has analyzed grading, accessibility and environmental impacts and that an addendum to the project EIR reviewed the proposed revisions.

After the presentation and public comment, a commissioner made a motion to recommend approval of the revised Skyline Heights project to City Council; another commissioner seconded. The commission voted to recommend approval. Individual vote tallies were not read into the record during the meeting.

If City Council approves the revision, staff said the project will next move into entitlement and permitting steps, including planning commission review, council consideration, jurisdictional permits and final engineering; construction, including grading, would follow and was estimated by the developer to take about 12 to 18 months once fully permitted.

The commission asked staff to continue outreach to trail users and nearby residents during later design phases and to return with more detailed designs on signage, parking distribution, ADA access and trail-user safety measures as the project advances toward Planning Commission and City Council hearings.","Richland Communities presented revisions to the approved Skyline Heights subdivision that would add nearly three times the required parkland, three public parks and multiple trailheads; the Parks and Recreation Commission voted to recommend the revisions to City Council after public comment and a staff presentation.","actionData","errors"]
