Officials to Brief Public on Plans for Chatsworth Park South

There will be an informational open house with the State Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) and the City Department of Recreation and Parks to update the community and answer questions on the progress of the clean-up at Chatsworth Park South, as well as future activity at the park, and the next steps toward re-opening it to the public. 

Thursday, October 18
6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
Mason Park Recreation Center
10500 Mason Ave., Chatsworth

The park was closed in February 2008 for after lead and other contaminants were discovered in the soil. The contamination resulted from clay pigeons used for skeet shooting on the land, which was a shooting range more than 50 years ago before it became a city park. 

Council District 12 is committed to ensuring that the park is safe for use by the community and getting it open so that families can once again enjoy it. Work continues with DTSC and Recreation and Parks on the contaminant Removal Action Plan, which is necessary to get the park cleaned up and safe for use once again.
