Quality of life: Walkways and open spaces are a gem
Roseville, CA – The Roseville trail system is a prized gem of the community and is one of the best in California. For many residents, it remains one of the biggest contributors to the quality of life in our city.
Connecting neighborhoods and parks through a series of interlocking pathways, paved and dirt paths through a patchwork of designated open spaces. Providing opportunities for recreation and comfort shared by humans and a variety of creatures, it is a rustic retreat appropriately attuned to modern suburban life.
A suburban haven
In addition to cyclists, joggers, and casual walkers enjoying the paved trails, towering oak trees, streams, spring ponds, and grassy lawns are commonly used as props for photo opportunities for family and friends. The graceful and shy egrets land here regularly, often not too far from the nearby tributary turkeys that call this place home. High-flying falcons help manage rodent and snake populations. As the warm summer sun sets in and the grasses begin to rise to waist level, A.J Goat flight Arrive for dinner and reduce the risk of fire to the community. Such a symbiotic relationship that also provides entertainment for the young and young at heart.
Dry Creek Challenge
For the most part, the walkways and open spaces are clean. However, some areas require more maintenance than others either because of heavy use or simply because of their location in relation to the waterways.
West of the Dry Creek Park is one such regularly affected area. This area runs on trails paralleling the dry creek from Walerga Road to Watt Ave.
In times of rain, the water rises above its low banks, where it recedes, leaving behind the remnants of the accumulated suburban debris that it carried along its journey. Regular cleaning becomes a necessity.
