NEW PARKING RESTRICTIONS WILL BE ENFORCED!!
The county has placed "No Parking" signs along the east side of Calle RioVista Court in order to allow two cars to be able to travel safely down the road. They have also placed "No Parking" signs along 134 feet of Oak Hills Drive to allow for a clear vision of upcoming traffic. Several accidents last year happened in this area, so this should help to prevent any further accidents.
Students may still park along Oak Hills Drive and also Sunnycrest Drive.
OPHS students can also utilize parking lot 1 off Holly Tree Drive (near lagoon) on school days for overflow parking.
Please do not park in the "No Parking Zone". You will be given a ticket by the California Highway Patrol.

GOOD LUCK STUDENTS!

OAK PARK NOW PRESENTS:
THE OAK PARK CERTIFIED FARMERS' MARKET
In our latest video, OakParkNow volunteer editor Derek Ross highlights the Oak Park Certified Farmers' Market located at Oak Park High School, 899 North Kanan Road every Saturday morning.
In this video presentation, Tasha Johnson of the market talks about the wide variety of vendor products, including fruits, vegetables, hummus and many others. The market is open every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., rain or shine, and features live music and activities for kids.
Join Derek as he interviews several of the specialty vendors, and join in the excitement of the Farmers' Market.
Vendors highlighted include Danette of "Lavender Goat", who sells a special goat's milk soap product, Joe of "Go Green Nopal" who features a special variety of tortillas made with corn and organic cactus and Mario of "Jumbo Tamales" serving hot, fresh tamales featuring a special recipe from Mexico, Chef Gerard's wonderful tasting award winning salsa and several other vendors.
OakParkNow hopes you enjoy this tour of the Oak Park Certified Farmers' Market and that you will plan to visit the market on a future Saturday morning. Admission is FREE. Please leave your pets at home--dogs are not allowed in the market.
We hope you enjoy this presentation. Coming soon: Our next video featuring Di Starzak of the Oak Park Community Emergency Response Team (CERT).
