While Brookside
Park may be most famous for the Rose Bowl, for
locals there are many other reasons to visit it.
The Rose Bowl
Aquatics Center not only provides swimming and
diving lessons for hundreds of children every year, it
is also home to swimming and diving meets including
those that lead to the Olympics.
Regularly, there
are local swim meets such as this one at a Fitness for
Life day for Pasadena seniors.
|
If you are not a swimmer, but
love to go bicycling, jogging or walking, you can join the
thousands of people who follow the broad 3 mile route which
circles around the Park and the Rose Bowl every week. Even
the Mayor does it once a month and invites everyone in Pasadena
to join him.

There are
also tennis courts with tennis lessons, baseball
diamonds with nighttime lighting and, of course, the
ubiquitous children's playground near the Aquatics
Center.
And if you plan to
give a BBQ for hundreds of people, there is a gigantic
array of picnic tables lined up behind the Aquatics
Center with huge BBQ grills to prepare mountains of
those tasty ribs.

The nearby
Kidspace Museum was designed to encourage children to
think creatively and explore their environment. |
 |
This
stained glass wall on the interior of the entry to
the Kidspace Museum is dazzling to adults as well as
children. |

Brookside
Public Golf Course is north of the Rose Bowl. A
relatively flat course, it is busy from dawn to dusk.
And if you don't golf, you can always stop at the
Clubhouse and pick up a bite to eat. |
