Beginning in 1966, W.A. and Janet Rothschild allowed the CRPD to untilize the area known as Old MEadows Park under a license agreement, eventually giving the property to the District. Shortly therafter, the District reconstructed the barn, which was also donated by the Rothschilds, and it served as the District's administrative offices and Old Meadows Center in 1968. Located among many gorgeous oak trees, 6 acres of this 31-acre property is developed, and is now home to the Therapeutic Recreation Unit and the Conejo Valley Therapeutic Advisory Council (CVTAC). The Council, comprised of parents, professionals, and community members, meets monthly with staff to discuss and support programming for individuals with disabilities. New members are always welcomed. For more information, please visit www.crpd.org/therapeuticrecreation
Our park includes a one-of-a-kind "SensAbility Playground", an interactive play area stimulating senses and abilities. The playground features many unique play pieces including "Playville" miniature village, elevated sand table, "Sand Works", one backhoe digger, Tenor Marimba (a xylophone-like musical piece), Talking Bob, talking horns, a sign language panel, and several sensory panels. The play area is surfaced with sand and rubber, providing accessibility to approximately 60% of the playground.
