AYSO REGION 42 -- PARKING AT PEPPERTREE PLAYFIELDS

updated: 09/22/2011

NO SOCCER PARKING IN
NEIGHBORHOODS AT PEPPER TREE PLAYFIELDS

risk of losing our permits to play at peppertree

Thank you for your support and participation in AYSO Region 42 in Newbury Park. We are excited to be able to provide the AYSO experience of a great soccer program for thousands of kids over the past 35+ years. We are fortunate to have Conejo Parks and Recreation and great park facilities where we can offer our program at Pepper Tree Playfields and Dos Vientos Park in Newbury Park.

As a condition of our permits to use Pepper Tree, we must be respectful of the homeowners and must ask that there be NO SOCCER PARKING on the residential streets in the neighborhoods adjacent to Pepper Tree. This is clearly noted in both the coach manual and the team parent packet. We have prominently posted No Soccer Parking signs at the entrance to the neighborhood and also on the streets adjacent to the neighborhood entrance to the park. Those signs apply to the entire neighborhood, not just to the areas in which they are posted. We also have two security guards posted in the neighborhood, who will ask the AYSO families to move their vehicles.

Conejo Parks & Recreation (CRPD) has received reports from our Opening Day weekend that a few AYSO parents were ignoring our no soccer parking signs and were parking in the neighborhood. We also know of instances where the security guard requests to move vehicles were not followed. Cars were reported or seen on Calle Clara Vista, Cayo Grande, and Calle Las Colinas.

We are in jeopardy of losing our permits for Pepper Tree if people continue to park in the neighborhood! We realize that parking can be a challenge at times at Pepper Tree, but we must ask that everyone please be good soccer neighbors and do not park anywhere in the neighborhood. There is overflow parking along Reino Road and in the designated areas of the business park across Old Conejo. In addition, there is parking available at Newbury Park High School. Please allow enough time to arrive early for your games and walk to the park.

Some of you may have friends who live in the neighborhood and have given their permission for you to park by their homes. In those situations, you must be able to park in the driveway or we will still ask you to move your car if it is parked on the street. The No Soccer Parking on Neighborhood Streets applies to everyone and every street within the neighborhood.

Without Pepper Tree, we would be unable to continue to offer the AYSO experience to the families of Newbury Park. Please don't let this happen - we need your understanding and cooperation. We want to be able to continue to offer our soccer program for the kids of Newbury Park. We don't want to have to tell over 1100 kids that they can't play soccer next year because a few people keep parking in the neighborhood.

Thank you for your help and understanding of this situation.

AYSO Region 42 - providing great soccer for the kids of Newbury Park for over 35 years !
