c hap t e r 6 Recreation Area Design Guidelines

6.1 Overview

Camp Pendleton offers a wide variety of recreational facilities for the Base personnel. The facilities range from the beaches, golf course and stables to the varied uses at Lake 0' Neill. The beach facilities are located on the western edge of the Base along the Pacific Ocean, while the other facilities are in close proximity to the HQ Area (See Figure 6. 1 - 1).

The Recreation Area Guidelines in conjunction with the Chapter 3 Basewide Design Guidelines, provide the necessary design recommendations for implementing future projects or improvements. A description and analysis of existing conditions is provided, outlining the site's assets and liabilities.

Proposed recommendations for each recreational area address general solutions with development standards and guidelines. In the future it is recommended to prepare a separate Master Plan / Long Range Development Plan for all of the recreation uses and facilities on Camp Pendleton.

6.2 Lake OINeili

The Lake O'Neill Recreation Area is located north of the main HQ Area, east of the Santa Margarita River Valley and southeast of the separate command Navy Hospital facility. Lake O'Neill is a regional facility that serves the entire base and is comprised of two distinct uses: the campgrounds and the day use area.

6.2 A. Observations

The following is a summary of the assets and liabilities observed at the Lake O'Neill Recreation Area that are the basis for specific design recommendations.

1. Assets

a. The area is a large regional natural open space park that serves the entire Base (Figure 6.2 - 2).

b. Excellent views exist in a non-urban open space setting (Figure 6.2 - 3).

(6.2 A. Observations continued)

c. A wide variety of active and passive recreational uses are available:

d.

fishing

• boating

• ballfields picnicking

• miniature golf

• hiking and jogging

• recreational vehicle camping playground facilities

A large open space camping area with good views exists east of Lakeside Drive.

e. Nice stands of mature pepper trees line Lakeside Drive (Figure 6.2- 4).

f. There is adequate parking for large recreational vehicles (Figure 6.2 - 5).

g. Mature landscaping exists throughout the camping area.

h. Large central area at the camping site is suitable for expansion.

2. Liabilities

a. Significant erosion is identified on the southwestern edge of the lake.

b. Vehicular circulation on Lake O'Neill Road is unimproved in the eastern area.

c. Parking for day use is unimproved and undefined in the peninsula area near shelters 26105-26114 (Figure 6.2 - 6).

d. Shelters are in poor condition and need upgrading or replacing.

e. The intersection entry at Santa Margarita River and Lake O'Neill Roads presents a potential traffic hazard.

f. The bandstand should be replaced with a more permanent facility.

g. Miniature golf and marina facilities need to be upgraded (Figure 6.2 - 7).

i. The intersection at Santa Margarita River Road and Lakeshore Drive is inefficient and a potential traffic hazard.

j. Recreational vehicle (RV) hook-ups need upgrading.

k. Existing site furniture needs to be replaced (Figure

6.3 - 8).

I. Administrative structures have a 'temporary' appearance (Figure 6.3 - 9).

m. Existing signage includes varying styles and locations.

n. 'Overflow' vehicle parking in the southwest portion of the campgrounds adjacent to the picnic tables is unsightly.

6.2 B. Recommendations

1. Land Use

Maintain this area as a regional open space park and continue to provide RV camping facilities. Recommend that a separate Master Plan / Long Range Development Plan be prepared.

2. Site Planning a.

b.

c.

d.

Develop a survey and analysis of park needs for the existing and future demographic population of Camp Pendleton.

Delineate and improve all designated parking areas as outlined in Section 3.8 - Parking.

The large central open space in the camping area could be used for future recreational facilities including:

• ballfields

• recreational vehicle camping

• pool

• tennis

Provide defined recreational vehicle parking in the southwest portion of the camping area. It should be located out of the natural areas and near the lake's edge (Figure 6.3 - 10).

2. Liabilities

a. The entry road and parking area are undefined.

b. The size of the parking area doesn't appear to reflect the amount of seating that is provided.

c. Bleachers are separated by a service road from the arena. This extends the viewing distance for the spectator (Figure 6.6 - 2).

d. Portable toilets are in a visually obstructive location (Figure 6.6 - 3).

6.6 B. Recommendations

1. Land Use

Continue recreational uses for this area. It is recommended that a separate Long Range Development Plan be prepared.

6.7 Stables

The Base stables are located on the east side of Vandegrift Blvd. in the easternmost portion of the Base. It is nearest to the San Luis Rey gate and provides equestrian facilities for military personnel.

6.7 A. Observations

The following is a summary of the assets and liabilities observed at the Stables Area that are the basis for specific design recommendations.

1. Assets

a. The Area provides a long maintained equestrian center for a full range of riding needs.

c. The site layout in general is integrated well with the natural topography.

d. The stables are in close proximity to a large expanse of open space for riding purposes.

e. The Eucalyptus that face Vandegrift Boulevard provide a landscape buffer.

f. Evergreen Elms along the entry road are a visual amenity (Figure 6.7- 2).

g. Adjacent to the Rodeo Grounds.

2. Liabilities

a. The entry road appears to be too narrow for two-way traffic. This is even more noticeable when trucks pulling trailers use the road.

b. The randomly constructed 'pipe' fencing adds to the visual clutter (Figure 6.7- 3).

c. The horse shelters or overhead structures are poorly constructed of multiple materials and styles which contributes to their temporary appearance.

d. The above ground utilities add to the visual clutter.

e. A variety of architectural styles are present creating a haphazard appearance (Figure 6.7 - 4).
