Our playgrounds are open again!

Barstow Heights Community Services District

is excited to announce that...

Our playgrounds at both parks

are open to the public again!!

Just in time for Easter weekend and

Spring Break! (for B.U.S.D. schools).

We'd like to THANK YOU for your patience,

as the playground areas at both of our parks

were under construction and had been closed

for a few weeks more than we had anticipated.

We are thrilled about the addition of three beautiful

NEW shade structures! (2 at Venner park, and 1 at Barstow 

Heights Park). As the hot days of summer approach, we are

happy to know that kids in our community will be able to

enjoy much cooler playground areas, even during the

hottest parts of the day.

Please enjoy and have a Happy (and Safe!) Easter!!

Barstow Heights Park is CLOSED Temporarily for Construction!

Construction began this morning (Tuesday 9/9/14), at Barstow Heights Park that is located on the corner of H Street and Rimrock Rd. We are very excited to finally announce this improvement project that the Board of Directors have been planning for more than a year now. The improvements being made will include the construction of TWO new shade canopies (20 feet wide by 40 feet in length), the addition of three new picnic tables, new trash cans, and new barbecues; as well as new cement foundations and sidewalks/ramps that meet all of the ADA requirements. New benches/seating on each side the basketball court will also be added. Our park will soon feature more picnic areas that are covered/shaded and will be much more accessible and user-friendly to guests with wheelchairs, strollers, and rolling ice chests! The project is expected to take a few weeks to complete, so for now, THE PARK IS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC with the exception of the Basketball Court. The Basketball Court will remain open as long as those who use it will respect the temporary orange fencing and stay out of the closed section of the park.  We are hopeful that we will be able to open the park again beginning Friday, September 19th, as long as the Construction is able to progress as scheduled. In the meantime, we recommend that residents and guests visit nearby Venner Park that is located on the corner of K Street and Panamint Rd.
THANK YOU for your patience while we are
Closed for Construction...

we can't wait to reveal all the NEW improvements

as soon as they are completed!

It's going to be beautiful!!

New Wood Chips at Venner Park!

NEW wood chips were put into place in the children's play area at Venner Park on Wednesday morning, March 27th!  Here are a few photos we took to document the work that was done. We hope you enjoy this additional improvement to the park!

 

Finally, here are a few photos of my 5 year-old son Juan

who watched the new wood chips being blown into place

and was excited to be the first kid to get to play

amongst all of the new wood chips!
