Please click on the link below to take Part II of the Los Trancos Park Recreation Amenity Survey. The community-led redesign of the Los Trancos Park follows the successful two-step process used to design the Area 11 parks: Gateway Park, Playground Park and Vista Park (opened in the fall of 2020). Part I of the survey, which was sent to the entire Uhills community in April, invited all University Hills residents to contribute ideas and identify preferred amenities they would like to see included in Los Trancos Park. Part II (what you are taking now) takes that list of preferred amenities and ideas and asks residents to rank them in order of desirability. This shortlist will serve as a blueprint to begin detailed planning of the area.
The intent of Part II is to measure community preferences for amenities (positive or negative) related to sports & exercise, gathering spaces, kid/youth-related, nature, infrastructure and pool-related. We encourage you to rate all items, but you are not required to do so. Please do your best to at least look through options in all categories, and submit your results at the end.
Thank you for participating in the redesign process!

Free Mulch Arrives on June 29 |
|
80 cubic yards of mulch arrives in the Community Center Parking lot on Tuesday, June 29. Mulch is available to all University Hills residents (first come, first served). Thanks to Leonard Chaidez Tree Service for gifting this fine material to the community. Chaidez has been pruning University Hills trees for over 25 years.
The mulch is recycled landscape waste and tree leaves, branches and trunks. The material is chipped and aged, where it undergoes an intense heating and baking period that kills pathogens and pests. Enjoy!
