Support our Local Businesses while Staying Safe
Recently, Pasadena's Safer at Home order was modified to allow non-essential retail to reopen for curbside pickup. Dog grooming, dog boarding, and car washes are also allowed to operate with modifications. Please continue to be mindful of wearing a face covering and maintaining physical distancing of at least six feet while supporting our local businesses.
Before visiting a business, call the store or check their social media/website for available goods, as well as instructions for curbside pickup. It is still recommended that those with underlying medical conditions and those ages 65 and older refrain from retail curbside pickup, as they continue to be safer at home.

Rose Bowl Loop and Trails Reopen for Recreational Users
Local trails and the Rose Bowl loop are now open. Users must abide by the following guidelines:
- Practice physical distancing and provide at least six feet of space at all times.
- Wear a face covering, even when exercising, as long as our airflow is not restricted.
- Gather with members of the same household only.
- Alert one another when passing by and allow room to safely pass.
- Users must also take their trash with them to protect other trail and loop users, staff and wildlife.
Staff will be positioned along the loop and at trailheads to make sure users are abiding by the guidelines listed above. The Rose Bowl loop is open from 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. to pedestrians, runners, and cyclists, with parking available in Lot I. Parking is limited to 90 minutes and will be strictly enforced. The Rose Bowl loop is closed to vehicular traffic, except for vehicles accessing the COVID-19 testing site and Brookside Golf Course, which are guided through by traffic monitors.
Other recreational amenities, including tennis courts, pickleball courts, and community gardens, will also reopen with provisions in place to ensure public safety. Please keep in mind that those with underlying medical conditions and those ages 65 and older continue to be safer at home.
