Roy Rogers had a shooting range in what is now the Chatsworth Park South.
Became a park around 1965 and a million people have walked thru it.
None dying from lead poisoning....
Video of the park being fixed up. Many other videos on right side.

They closed the park down in 2008 due to lead contamination. Promised to re-open soon but here it is 2017 and they are now going to re-open. That is gov’t for you.

There was no lead contamination. The park use to be bigger but a section was turned into a golf course then sold to have townhomes built. I bet this was to grab the remaining land but the neighbors wanted the park opened.

The politicians tried to wait them out but had to give in but not before 9 years went by and $9 million was spent!

I use to go there and climb up in the hills to hike.

Just get a flock of Condors to clean up the lead, kind of like using a herd to goats for weed control.

Easy!
