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.

Non-members may play for a daily court charge. Details on membership and fees may be obtained at the Tennis Foundation office by contacting the Tennis Professional at (626)793-1622, in Lacy Park.

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.
