Rosemont Preserve Open Gate Morning
An “open gate” event is taking place at the Rosemont Preserve on Sunday morning, Dec. 20. 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 app to 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. LA County guidelines are being followed requiring visitors to wear masks and practice social distancing when visiting the Preserve.

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.

This event is free to the public and suitable for all ages; no reservations required.

Rain cancels. Sorry, no pets please.

One-time bill credit of $150 to residential electric customers living in single family homes, one-time bill credit of $80 to residential electric customers living in multi-family housing, one-time bill credit of $150 to eligible businesses that are adversely affected by the COVID-19 “Stay At Home” order or did not operate in one of the essential services sectors covered in the Governor’s Executive Order N-33-20 for a period of at least four weeks, one-time bill credit of $60 to residential low-income customers currently enrolled in GWP’s Senior/Glendale Care low-income discount program.
