Rosemont Preserve Open Gate Morning

An “open gate” event is taking place at the Rosemont Preserve on Saturday morning, April 1. This is a chance for residents to visit the Preserve and wander the trail at their own pace and enjoy the tranquil setting, the wildlife and the natural beauty. Photographers: bring your camera to capture the morning light and citizen scientists, bring your iNaturalist and Merlin apps to identify birds and add wildlife sightings!

The gate will be open from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., and Friends of the Rosemont Preserve Committee members will be available to answer questions and present this community resource.

The Preserve is located at the north end of Rosemont Avenue, just past the chain link fence. As street parking is limited, please park at Two Strike Park, 5107 Rosemont Ave. Those with mobility issues who require a closer parking spot should contact the Rosemont Preserve Committee.

Those planning on walking the trails should wear sturdy shoes and bring water to drink.  

This event is free to the public and suitable for all ages; no reservations required. Rain cancels. Sorry, no pets please.  

For further information, contact the Friends of the Rosemont Preserve at RosemontFriends@gmail.com.

Note on Air Quality

Frequent rainstorms throughout the winter have led to cleaner air quality levels. So far this year, air quality index levels remained in the good to moderate range (preliminary data as of March 27). Based on air quality index levels of ozone pollution, particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide, the first 86 days of 2023 are the cleanest since fine particle pollution monitoring began in 1999. Ozone is generally lower during winter months and remained low this year, according to a spokesperson from South Coast Air Quality Management District.
