The Clovis Parks, Recreation & Beautification Committee convened on September 22, 2025, to discuss several key initiatives aimed at enhancing community facilities and safety measures. The meeting highlighted ongoing projects, including restroom renovations and the introduction of new vendors for park improvements.

One of the most significant updates came from a committee member who reported on the completion of restroom renovations at a local park. The project faced challenges due to outdated plumbing systems, which required the installation of tank toilets to ensure proper flushing. The committee is now focused on upgrading faucets to prevent water wastage, as current fixtures allow water to run continuously if left unattended. This change is crucial, especially considering the potential for significant water loss from a large tank.

In addition to restroom improvements, the committee is exploring the installation of security cameras around park facilities. This initiative aims to enhance safety and monitor any potential vandalism. The discussion included the feasibility of connecting these cameras to existing infrastructure, which could involve additional cellular service. The committee is also considering advanced locking mechanisms for restrooms to deter unauthorized access, particularly during off-hours.

The meeting also touched on recent events at the local shooting range, which hosted its final American Trap Association shoot of the year, attracting a notable turnout. The committee is planning future events, including statewide tournaments and memorial shoots to honor community members who have passed away.

Overall, the discussions during the meeting underscored the committee's commitment to improving park facilities and ensuring the safety of community spaces. As these projects move forward, the committee will continue to seek funding and innovative solutions to enhance the recreational experience for Clovis residents.
