About us
Our vision is for lower Rose Creek to be an open space park providing recreational and learning opportunities and a clean, healthy, aesthetically pleasing environment for residents, visitors, businesses, and native plants and animals, while serving as an accessible link for bicyclists and pedestrians to move between Rose Canyon Park, Marian Bear Park, Mission Bay Park, and surrounding communities. We invite everyone to help us make the dream a reality by habitat restoration, community cleanups, and nature walks. For more information, visit our website.

With the extra warm winter San Diego is experiencing, who knows if the Snow Birds will still be here. These bird summer in Alaska and Canada, but prefer to hang out in San Diego for the winter. American wigeons, Bufflehead, and an assortment of teals are hanging out.
