What we’re about
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.

ROSE CREEK is a birding hot spot in the north east corner of Mission Bay. Check out the latest sightings on eBird. A treasure in Pacific Beach, the creek and salt marsh is popular with Bikers on the East side, a quiet, shaded walking path on the West side.
Meet at the east end of the Mike Gotch Bridge. Parking is legal on either side of approximately 2620 N Mission Bay Drive in the northeast corner of Mission Bay.
If you can can, download Kyle’s bird list ahead of time and see how many birds on the list you spot.
Bring binoculars if you have them, good walking shoes and check the weather before you come. Our guide will have a scope to help us see the birds closeup and personal. We will have a few extra pairs of binoculars for attendees, but supplies are limited.
