Photo from the City's park pagePark history
This property was once an old farm, acquired by the city in order to create an 18-hole golf course to replace the 9-hole West Hills Golf Course which was closed to make room for the zoo's relocation. The course was designed Erv Thoreson, a landscape architect with the Park Bureau. Construction of the course, named Progress Downs by Commissioner Bean, began in 1966 and opened for play in 1968. In 1999, the course was completely redesigned by PP&R Golf Manager John Zoller into a 7,100 yard, championship 18-hole course with a covered, lighted driving range. It was renamed RedTail Golf Course after the red-tailed hawks that nest in the surrounding trees.

How it's holding up
The City's own inventory of what is here and the condition it last recorded for each item. Dates are the source's; old dates mean no newer public assessment, not that nothing has happened since. Historical project estimates appear below; they are separate from these condition records.

From the department-provided partnership directory. It records what is on paper, not who does each task. Each agreement links to its entry on PP&R's agreements with partners, with the public text where it's posted, how to request it where it isn't, and the rules that govern partnerships.
Condition across all assets
Citywide condition atlasAcross 8 assessed assets at this park, 63% are in poor or very-bad condition (rated 4–5). Pooled from the City's public assessment layers — buildings, bridges, playgrounds, courts, fields, fences, paths and amenities.
This count comes from the City's rated asset layers; the “Public assets” list below is a separate furnishings inventory, so its items and scores are counted separately and the two totals need not match.
Condition is rated 1 (good) to 5 (very bad); no score means not yet assessed and is excluded. Park trees are inventoried separately and not counted here. These assessment records do not contain repair costs. Historical project estimates are shown separately.
Repair ledger
Public data does not currently flag repair candidates for this park. Additional PP&R maintenance exports can be added without changing the page structure.
