Such a nice park. There are lots of inner trails full of nature in addition to the main trail by the water stream. Good for trail running and hiking.
First time here and I loved it! So beautiful!
If you take the trail to the left you’ll get to the stairs on the photo. I came on a Sunday, plenty of parking. Not too many people.
Came here on a Sunday morning as wanted to walk the trail to the Rose Bowl. Very narrow driveway to a small parking lot, but there was plenty of parking. Majority of people were heading to the archery area and I was the only one heading to the trails. It wasn’t clear which side of the stream to walk as there’s paths on each side. Heading to the Rose Bowl, I walked on the right side of the stream which luckily was the correct path.
While the trail wasn’t the nicest, it was a nice walk as you walked under the Colorado Bridge, Pioneer’s Bridge, and the 134 on the way to the Rose Bowl. You eventually end up on the street for the last 15 minutes to the Bowl. There’s an aquatic center, tennis courts, and a park before you reach the Rose Bowl. Since it was the college football bowl season, the grounds were getting prepared for the nationally televised bowl.
The Lower Arroyo Park was a simple park that was not as heavily crowded as the other local parks. The trails were wide at the beginning, but became narrower once you pass the Colorado Bridge. Nice quiet trails that were relatively easy.
Archery camp for kids and adults and is good for horse riding,
Great place to hike, quite and beautiful
