Time Out says

Just south of the Arroyo Seco's most famous tenant—the Rose Bowl—this 62 acre park provides a scenic green space for locals and out-of-towners alike. Set against the stunning San Gabriel Mountains, you'll find plenty of open space to run and play among the multipurpose sports fields, along with some shade near the pirate ship-themed playground. There's a proper fitness trail around the park, but you'll find many active visitors running and biking along a trail that flanks the entire east side of the park, all the way north past the adjoining golf course. If you're willing to shell out a few bucks, stop by the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center's dual pools or the hands-on Kidspace Children's Museum. Parking isn't an issue, thanks to that 90,000-seat stadium, but remember that the Rose Bowl Flea Market sets up shop the second Sunday of each month, while UCLA plays home games on Saturdays during the fall.

What’s on

Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run

If you’ve ever adopted a feline or canine friend, you know how important animal shelters are—and in particular, the Pasadena Humane Society’s importance to Los Angeles after it stepped up to take care of displaced pets during the Eaton Fire. So here’s your opportunity to help them out, at Pasadena Humane’s annual walk, which helps cover the costs of its inhabitants. All you need are your walking shoes—dogs optional—and maybe some friends or family, and you’re ready to embark on a route around the Rose Bowl. The event is technically free to attend/watch, but the PHS encourages you to start a team (registration starts at $50) or find sponsors to help raise funds. Afterward, you can look forward to photo ops, pet-friendly vendor booths, food trucks, a training park and a doggy costume contest. If you can’t make it, you can still donate here.
