Welcome!

The Parks Division provides safe, well-maintained parks and public places and creates opportunities for park improvements, growth, and enrichment. 

In addition to City parks, the Parks Division is responsible for Trees, Medians, Street Landscapes and the Graffiti Action Plan. Staff maintains 36 parks covering 297 acres, 81 miles of medians and parkways, 129 acres of open space as well as 52,095 City trees worth $158.3 million. This wealth of trees has garnered Oxnard the Tree City USA designation since 1984.

Measure E Investments

Thanks to Voter’s approval of Measure E, residents are seeing the restoration of many programs and services throughout Oxnard.

The City Council approved $5.6 million for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 to restore parks, trees, and medians maintenance starting July 1, 2021.

The City’s contractors are helping address deferred maintenance throughout Oxnard. Residents will be able to view maps of the restoration progress soon!

Thanks to Measure E investments, weekly mowing at the City’s 33 turf General Funds parks is being restored.  Measure O Parks – College Park and East Village Park – cannot use Measure E tax dollars and are maintained separately. 

Contractors are restoring monthly medians & parkways maintenance. Staff has divided the work equitably into three regions, based on the amount of landscape work involved in each area – not based on lineal feet. 

Additionally, City contractors are addressing deferred tree maintenance, by completing one time grid tree pruning maintenance within the City’s arterial (main) streets. 

Maintenance & Improvements

Measure E investments allow employees to restore proper landscape maintenance and work on improvements throughout Oxnard in addition to the restorations noted above. Below is a summary of routine maintenance and improvements scheduled for Fiscal Year 2021-2022.
