- Share via
Boys & Girls Clubs of Conejo & Las Virgenes has abandoned plans to build a club at Mae Boyar Neighborhood Park in Oak Park.
Residents expressed opposition when plans were presented to the Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District Board of Directors on Jan. 16.
“As a nonprofit group with limited funds, we find it necessary to expend our resources on facilities in communities that need and want before- and after-school programs for their children,” said Ronnie Hewett, president of the youth club.
Al Church, general manager of the district, said, “The idea of planning and providing a Boys & Girls Club in Oak Park is now a closed issue.”
