Since Moorpark became the County of Ventura´s tenth incorporated city on July 1, 1983 it has enjoyed a reputation as one of the most desirable communities in which to live in all of Southern California.
The City of Moorpark enjoys an exceptionally low crime rate and has received the honor as the safest city in Ventura County for twelve consecutive years. We are indeed blessed to live, work, and raise our families in an environment that is safe and secure, free from the debilitating fear of crime and violence.
The Moorpark community takes pride in an exceptional unified school district, a quality educational system comprised of teachers, administrators, and parents who understand what is necessary to prepare our children to meet the exciting challenges of the new century.
Whether you seek the beauty and splendor of nature in nearby Happy Camp Canyon Regional Park, the thrill and excitement of one of the many shows produced by the students of the Exotic Animal Training Management Program at Moorpark College, or just relax in one of our communities´ beautifully landscaped parks, there is a recreational activity in this community available to satisfy any interest.
The City of Moorpark´s Department of Community Services also provides many wonderful activities throughout the year. Some for the very young; many for the young at heart. Scores of programs have been developed to satisfy any interest or teach a new skill.
Of all the different reasons Moorpark is unique, none is more significant, nor makes a more lasting contribution, than the residents. The members of this fine community clearly recognize the importance of selfless volunteerism and the profound effect it can have on the lives of other people. The City of Moorpark is comprised of caring, friendly people who look out for each other, where often overlooked traits such as compassion and kindness are displayed each and every day.
