The parking lot at perris Hill Park located on 21st Street on the eastside of the flood control channel was closed by an action of city Council in 1979. This action was a result of a recommendation by the Parks and Recreation commission due to reports of problems in the parking lot. These included "vans playing loud music, beer cans and other trash were being thrown in their yards, reckless driving of automobiles and motorcycles, indecent exposure, loud vulgar language and what appeared to be use of drugs and drug overdoses which require paramedical support". * With the closure, users of the park were essentially accommodated by the parking lot adjoining the YMCA. with the construction of the Senior citizens Center as well as improvements to the tot lot, this parking lot has been heavily impacted. Additional improvements to the group picnic area east of the channel as well as anticipated growth in YMCA participation is expected to cause demand on the parking lot exceeding its capacity. At its regular meeting of March 9, 1990, the Senior Affairs Commission recommended to the Parks and Recreation commission that it endorse the reopening of the east parking lot on a controlled basis and to recommend such to City Council. The Parks and Recreation Commission, at its meeting of March 21, 1990 unanimously approved a motion to recommend the reopening of the lot on a controlled basis. The parking lot would be opened during special events, reservations of the group picnic area or heavy use days. Access to the lot would be controlled by staff. *San Bernardino Parks and Recreation Commission, Minutes from May 17, 1979. April 25, 1990 75-0264
