The City of Monrovia is preparing plans to open trail systems in the coming days but in the meantime the Hillside Wilderness Preserve will open on Friday, May 8. Though the City has suspended most parking enforcement, it is conducting parking enforcement for public health and safety reasons. The City will be enforcing parking restrictions near the preserve entrances.
Canyon Park will remain closed this weekend as the City prepares for weekday openings.
Shorter trail systems exist at urban parks in the city including Recreation Park, Library Park and Lucinda Garcia Park. The City encourages trail users at these locations to travel clockwise to enhance the management of social distancing.
More adventurist hikers are encourage to try the Monrovia Loop (Huntington Drive to Fifth Street to Foothill Boulevard to Mountain Avenue) for a round trip of 5.5 miles.
