The Effort

Kizh/Tongva once preserved the land

What is the "One Arroyo" effort? The Arroyo Seco ["Dry Riverbed"] is Pasadena's great outdoor space, used by millions each year for recreation and enjoyment.

Even though the Arroyo itself has seldom been conceived or designed as one continuous space, from the headwaters in the north to the tributary waters in the south, its natural habitats, resources, and historic sites are unlike any other and enthusiastically enjoyed by those who live, work, and visit the city.

 

The "One Arroyo" Effort endeavors to bring awareness to the work by the Arroyo Advisory Group (AAG) and others to restore the legacy of Pasadena's historic Arroyo Seco and unite all three areas of the Arroyo -- Hahamongna, Central Arroyo, and Lower Arroyo -- under a singular vision.

The Vision

Vision for the Arroyo. The AAG has developed a draft vision statement for the Arroyo. This vision will be refined as the group conducts its outreach to the community.

"Pasadena's great outdoor space, the historic Arroyo Seco, will become 'One Arroyo.' From the headwaters in the north to the tributaries in the south, its natural habitats, resources, and historic sites will be preserved, enhanced, and connected by an extraordinary end-to-end trail system, all anchored by a central hub."
