PALMDALE – The city of Palmdale is inviting residents to its next round of public meetings to help provide input on the proposed new Palmdale Regional Recreational Complex (PRRC), a state-of-the-art complex that would offer indoor, year-round opportunities for social interaction, learning, fun, and fitness all in one location.

The meetings will take place on Monday, March 7, at the Palmdale Oasis Park Recreation Center, 3850 E. Ave. S, and Tuesday, March 8, at the Marie Kerr Park Recreation Center, 2723 Rancho Vista Blvd. Both meetings start at 6:30 p.m. Results of the initial community survey will be shared and discussed.

“We had a nice turnout for our first set of meetings in January, and now we are seeking additional input as we work through the suggestions and ideas from the community,” said Palmdale Mayor Steve Hofbauer. “We’ll discuss the results from our recent survey and get additional feedback for our residents as we develop this new regional recreation complex.”

Some of the potential amenities for the proposed Palmdale Regional Recreational Complex include an indoor gymnasium, indoor synthetic turf fields, outdoor synthetic turf fields, indoor walking track, multipurpose rooms, fitness rooms with lockers, rock wall, boxing ring, pump bicycle track, and handball, racquetball and pickleball courts. The facility could also include computer workstations, space for small informational seminars, or office/meeting space for local non-profits and schools to provide needed youth services. Other physical fitness options could be a playground geared towards those with cognitive or physical limitations, an indoor warm water therapy pool, an indoor cool water exercise pool, or water activities such as a wave rider or wave pool. Outdoor tiered grass seating for small bands and neighborhood events or a drive-in movie set-up is also a possibility. The actual amenities, services, and activities to be included in the PRRC will be the result of community collaborations and staff recommendations.

    I am sure that it will be placed on the Westside where people already have gyms and pools at their homes instead of being placed on the Eastside where people don’t have the money and luxury of such things in their homes. And Robin if you watched the news you will find that is possible to be robbed and bullied anywhere even on you wonderful rich spoiled westside. I have lived on the Eastside since 1978 and have not had any problems so don’t label the Eastside a bad place.
    Like I have said before the westside gets it all because they payoff the city leaders to get everything they want like spoiled children

      If you seriously want it to be on the east side, prove it. There will be a hundred people, all with ideas, at the meeting at Marie Kerr. If you are at home and five people turn up for the meeting at Oasis Park you don’t have a valid complaint when it goes on the west side, so show up and speak up!

        I’d be ok if I never went East of the 14 freeway again,

        The West side isn’t any better.

        Palmdale will forever be a ghetto, and it’s going to get worse.

          You could move to somewhere like Brentwood where Nicole Simpson lived.

          That’s a nice area, FWB.

            Or Belle Haven, a very upscale place where Martha Moxley once lived.

            Wherever you go, FWB, you’ll land in the perfect place for you.

            Unfortunately, wherever you go you’ll be taking FWB with you. He’d complain if he were hanged with a new rope.

            Well I’m sure not moving to Lancaster.

          FWB. You’re like Prince’s mother from When Doves Cry.

          “Maybe you’re just like my mother. She’s never satisfied.”

          And, you think it’s because of the east side of a city. No. It’s you.

          You’re like a kid in the 3rd grade class who is known as the whiner.

          I bet you were that kid in the 3rd grade.

          The truth gets communicated.

      I generally don’t fear being robbed or bullied anywhere.

      It’s not going to East Lancaster. You do not have to worry.
