PARK INFORMATION
Lacy Park, located at 1485
Virginia Road, San Marino, CA 91108, is a beautiful 30
acre park located in the center of San Marino between Virginia
Road and St Albans Road, and North of Monterey Road. Originally
Wilson Lake in 1875, the land was purchased by the City in 1925
and dedicated as a park. Within the park are open green areas
and many varieties of trees and shrubs. A picnic area is often
the site of musical concerts, civic events and pancake
breakfasts. Within the park are two walking loops: an inner
loop of approximately 3/4 mile in length, and an outer loop of
approximately 1 mile in length. Dogs are welcome with their
owners, providing they are on a leash and that their owners see
to it that the dogs mind their manners and that their excesses
are cared for.

ROSE ARBOR
The Rose Arbor at the west entrance
of the park has special significance for the people of San
Marino. It is 60 years old and has long been a source of beauty
and tranquility to many residents. In recent years the care and
upkeep of the Rose Arbor itself has been augmented by private
donations from dedicated residents who have chosen to sponsor
individual posts. These donors' names are perpetuated with
bronze plaques. Information on this program is available at City
Hall.
