Olivenhain Today and Tomorrow

Thanks to our low-density zoning, there are approximately 1500 homes within the Community of Olivenhain today. The Encinitas General Plan projects a total of 1616 homes when available lots have been built.

Wiro Park, Little Oaks Park, and Sun Vista Park are the only developed parks within Olivenhain. Little Oaks Park on Lone Jack Road is a horse park complete with picnic tables, parking for horse trailers, and a riding ring. It provides access to the trails within Olivenhain. Wiro Park is a small community park on 11th Avenue west of Rancho Santa Fe Road. It has picnic tables, barbeque grills, and a small playground. Sun Vista Park is community park at the southwest corner of Rancho Santa Fe Road and Avenida La Posta.

Today, the Olivenhain Town Council continues to maintain and preserve the Meeting Hall property and buildings, but the overall objective of the Town Council has been expanded to include the community at large:
To continue to protect and preserve the rural atmosphere that we have inherited from those before us.
General Meetings of the Town Council, open to all residents of Olivenhain, are held in the Meeting Hall on the first Wednesday of each month. New directors are elected to the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting in June. Directors serve a two year term.
Residents of Olivenhain are invited to join the Town Council. For a small annual fee, members receive voting rights at the General Meetings and a newsletter published ten times per year. Additional contributions to the Olivenhain Town Council are used for maintenance and restoration of the property.
Members of the Town Council organize several annual activities including the spring Beer and Bratwurst Festival, a Halloween Party in October, and a Holiday Party in December. A Craft Fair in November is the major fund-raising activity of the year. The City Watch Task Force monitors activity at the planning and traffic departments of the City of Encinitas and often speaks on behalf of Olivenhain during City Council meetings.
