Today, the City owns and manages over 5,000 acres of natural open space.  Over 30 miles of fire roads and 7.5 miles of single track trails are utilized by dozens, even hundreds, of hikers, joggers, dog-walkers, and mountain bikers each day – particularly in Brand Park and Deukmejian Wilderness Park.

Our Trails & Open Space program operates largely through the dedication of community volunteers.  Current efforts are funded by the Glendale Parks & Open Space Foundation, which provides equipment and supplies for our Third Saturday Wilderness Workdays in Deukmejian Wilderness Park and our Riverwalk Workdays at Glendale Narrows Riverwalk. The Foundation also sponsors our interpretive programs, Friday Night Lectures, the Trail Maintenance Crew, the Trail Safety Patrol, and the GO! (Glendale Outdoors!) nature education program, all of which are supervised by the Department.

Happy Trails!
