Parks Board Looks at Golf Course Takeover
The Los Angeles Recreation and Parks Department will enter talks that could lead to a takeover of Van Nuys Golf Course from a contractor and expansion of the junior golfing program, the agency’s board agreed Wednesday.
The parks board authorized agency officials to approach the city Airports Department, which owns the golf course property next to Van Nuys Airport, and discuss the possibility of a 20-year lease.
The City Council recently rejected an airport proposal to extend the contract with the private operator of the course.
Any proposed lease agreement would have to get final approval from the parks board.
