What

We are starting a new Rain Garden! This is just the beginning so we will outline the garden and start to grade the surface. We will also be tending our new micro-forest, so be ready to weed, water if needed, tend the micro-forest, and tidy up the park for the upcoming Sustainability Fair (4/11/26).

Where

100 block of Pasadena Avenue in South Pasadena, east of York Blvd Bridge.
The upper entrance, marked by a small plaque on an attractive river rock wall, is in the 100 block of Pasadena Avenue in South Pasadena, east of the York Street Bridge. There is plenty of on-street parking on Pasadena Avenue.
