Supporters of the Ronald Reagan Equestrian Campground/RV Park like to say Reagan rode horses on his ranch so they should be able to "continue the land use" with a 60 horse Campground/RV Park. But adjacent to this site is Paramount Ranch National Park with many equestrian trails. However, before this land became a park it was a race track. The concrete of the track is still used today by joggers and equestrians alike. My question to supporters of the RREC is this: Should some special interest group like car racing enthusiasts be allowed to build a new bigger racetrack at the site of the historic race track in Paramount Ranch? Perhaps we have found common ground. Click here to see historic information on the race track at Paramount Ranch. Speaking of race tracks, we should not be building the Reagan Equestrian Campground in a location that will add to the traffic problems on Mulholland highway. Click here for the video. Build it near a major thruway.CONTACT US

Ted - I don't know what exactly what you are looking for, but I support what you are doing and here are some talking points.
ReplyDeleteAs an avid mountain biker and trail runner, I have watched the slow consumption of park land, like Malibu Creek State Park, at the hands of greedy developers. As smeone who grew up in the Malibu Canyon area, I have watched park land and open space disappear while office complexes and condo developments spring up. The thing is, you can always build another condo or building, but you cannot build another deer, oak tree or pristine trail. I grew up running and riding the trails of Malibu Creek and Chesebro Canyon; where will the next generation of kids play? Developed, pre-planned asphalt trails? It is disappointing and pointless to build another "campground" area when one has already been provided by nature.
Hope this helps, I can certainly write more if needed.
