The office of 7th District Councilmember James Johnson will host its next California Gardens tour on Saturday, Nov. 19, from 10am to noon, at 2745 Orange Ave. The tour will be led by volunteers and will focus on the history, wildlife, plants, and new developments of the property.
“The need for recreation opportunities and open space continues to grow in northern, central, and western portions of Long Beach,” Johnson said. “California Gardens is an opportunity to develop 40 acres of City-owned land into a natural oasis the whole region can enjoy. The proposed park at California Gardens is located at the highest accessible point in Long Beach, offering a 270-degree view of the Pacific Ocean to Palos Verdes to the mountains and Downtown Lost Angeles. After more than 100 years of City ownership, the time has come to start opening this property to the public to enjoy this natural open space in the middle of our city.”
The monthly tours are free and open to the public. For more information, contact Johnson’s office at (562) 570-7777 or district7@longbeach.gov, or visit facebook.com/CAGardens.
