A wheel loader was parked on the track. The wheel loader sat idle on Tuesday and then the rains came on Wednesday and again on Friday.
The Thousand Oaks High School Track and Field Booster Club submitted a grant request to the City of Thousand Oaks Athletic Facilities Grant Program, and they were awarded $30,000.00 by a unanimous vote of the City Council at the January 16th meeting. The school district is paying for the track, but not the field events. Either the old field event venues will be left in place or funds must be raised to install new field event facilities. These are the high jump, long jump, and pole vault pits. An estimated $100,000 is required for the field events. The City grant and a T.O. Flyers pledge of $10,000 will go towards field events.
