The original Lompico Improvement Club was formed on July 16, 1928. Property was acquired through Mr. and Mrs. Coleman in 1929. The property was held in trust by the Colemans until a corporation was established in 1933. The Corporation, by it''s original articles were under an obligation to use the properties for the benefit and use of the residents.

The Lompico Improvement Club was intended to be a social organization. Until the 1960's, Lompico was primarily a weekend and vacation retreat for people that lived and worked in the San Francisco Bay Area. The purpose of the club was very proper for a vacation community. However, in the late 1970's Lompico shifted from a resort and vacation community to a year round community of people who lived in and worked in the Santa Cruz and San Jose areas.

In May 1977 the Lompico Clubhouse structure was destroyed by fire. Through the dedication of a very few individuals, who donated their time and money, the Lompico Club was kept alive.

1977 - Clubhouse burns down in suspected arson
1978-1981 - Volunteers rebuild shell of building for use as a community center
1982 - Major flooding occures, closing Lompico Road and isolating the community for a month. Building is used as makeshift emergency services center
1983-1988 - Property taxes are not paid by community center
1989 - Property sold to Ms. Dawn Baker by Santa Cruz County for back taxes
1990 - Lompico Community Association is formed by concerned residents who want to regain title to property. Association petitions County to rescind sale of property, but is unsuccessful due to a lien Ms. Baker has placed against the property.
1992 - 501(c)(3) status of the Lompico Community Center, originally incorporated in 1933, is reactivated by Community Association. Community Association begins operating as Lompico Community Center (LCC). Renovation funding is researched, including state, corporate and foundations, along with searches for other building users, such as recycling center or child care center to subsidize operating expenses. No funding sources were found. LCC participates in Redevelopment proposal and Capital Improvement meetings in search of funding.
1993 - LCC enters a memorandum of understanding with the County of Santa Cruz to purchase the property for use as an emergency staging area. County grants LCC $42,000 for the purchase of the property from Ms. Baker. Capital Improvement Committee meetings still ongoing for renovation/operating funds. Community survey is mailed to all residents. 67% list a basketball court and park as top priority for property.
1994 - (June) LCC purchases property from Ms. Baker. (July) LCC is awarded a $30,000 in-kind services grant from Granite Construction to improve property. LCC continues to search for foundation funding/capital improvement committee continue to work to renovate and operate building. No funding is awarded.
1995 - (March) LCC applies for funding from Packard Foundation and Santa Cruz Community Foundation to renovate building, grant denied. (July) LCC begins application for FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program to restore Lompico Creek at Community Center. (August) LCC meets with Department of Fish and Game, and Santa Cruz County Parks, Open Spaces and Cultural Services to discuss reopening Lompico Creek Pool. Both Fish and Game and Parks Department disallow pool operation. (September) Insurance carrier inspects property, finds it to be a major hazard, and threatens to cancel policy unless safety improvements are made.

Lompico Park is located on Lompico Road just below West Drive.

Amenities include a basketball court with professional surface, playground equipment, BBQ area with BBQ and picnic tables, bathroom, soda machine, public telephone and a bus shelter that services both County Transit and SLV school buses . Lompico Creek runs through the park which many kids enjoy playing in during the summer months.

Lompico Park is private property owned by the Lompico Community Center (LCC). Santa Cruz County does not provide any funding or services for our park. The LCC, with the help of community volunteers, cleans and maintains the park.

In order to keep expenses as low as possible the LCC does not pay for garbage pickup at the park. Volunteers periodically empty the park trash cans and put it in their residential bins. Because of this we ask that people do not dump their residential trash in the park garbage cans. Also, if you use the park we would greatly appreciate it if you would take your garbage with you when you leave.

Animals are permitted in the park but, per Santa Cruz County Regulations, must be on a leash and under your control at all times.

• 6.12.010 Prohibition Against Permitting Dogs at large: Dogs may not be permitted to run at large anywhere in the County of Santa Cruz.
• 6.12.020 Leash required for Dogs Off Premises: When not on their owners' premises, dogs must be securely restrained by a leash.

You are also required to clean up after your animal.

• 6.12.080 Animal Defecation Prohibited: It is unlawful for the owner of any animal to allow or permit such animal to defecate on any public property or improved private property, other than that of the owner. It is the responsibility of the animal's owner to properly dispose of any solid waste resulting from an act in violation of this section.

Use of the park and it's facilities are done at your own risk. The LCC makes reasonable efforts to keep the park safe but it is your responsibility to ensure that you ,and/or others you are responsible for, use the facilities in a safe manor.

The Lompico Community Center (LCC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was incorporated in the state of California on June 22, 1933.

The LCC is a 100% volunteer organization that exists to maintain our community park, sponsor community events, enhance community services and bring residents together. Since we pay no office rent, payroll or many of the other expenses that most businesses do we are able to maximize the impact made by each donation.

The LCC survives almost entirely on donation from the community, local businesses and grants from other non-profit entities. Your donation, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated. Since our yearly budget is so tight even a small donation goes a long way.

The LCC runs on volunteers. In order to keep costs down and within our tight budget we must rely on volunteers for many things. From keeping the park clean and maintained to assisting with newsletters, organizing events like the Easter Egg Hunt and summer BBQs, and other activities, we depend on the people in our community.

The LCC is run by a Board of Directors made up of volunteer Lompico community residents.
