A golf course, parks and an aquatic center
One of the primary sources of recreation and entertainment in East Arroyo is Brookside Park, a 61-acre park on the neighborhood's western side. Along with many of the amenities that come with a traditional park — playgrounds, picnic tables and lots of green space — there are also many attractions. Golf enthusiasts have 36 holes at the Brookside Golf Club and the Kidspace Children’s Museum is popular with families. The Rose Bowl Aquatics Center offers year-round aquatic and fitness programs. Sports fans will delight in Jackie Robinson Memorial Field, where the Pasadena City College baseball team and the Arroyo Seco Saints play. For even more sporting events, the famous Rose Bowl stadium offers sporting events year-round along and events like the Rose Bowl Flea Market, which meets on the second Sunday of each month and regularly attracts 20,000 visitors, though the crowds aren't a problem for residents. “There are guards stationed at the entrances to the neighborhood, checking IDs to make sure only residents park there," Kuo says.

Tournament of Roses and other events
Pasadena maintains a robust calendar of annual events, with the Tournament of Roses being the highlight each year. The New Year’s Day celebration is iconic, headlined by magnificent floats decorated with vibrant fresh flowers. The parade draws equestrian units and marching bands from all over the country and visitors from all over the world. Another highlight is Cheeseburger Week, which celebrates an all-American staple invented here in Pasadena. There are also regular music events, the Chalk Festival, the Colorado Bridge Festival and Enchanted at Descanso Gardens, to name just a few.

About 10 miles from downtown LA
East Arroyo is situated near the intersection of I-210 and the Ventura Freeway, which provide broad access to the greater region. The area is great for commuters, with downtown Los Angeles about 10 miles southwest of the neighborhood — a short distance that can take as long as an hour to cover at rush hour, though it’s normally closer to 30 minutes. The closest airport is Hollywood Burbank, about 15 miles northwest of Pasadena. The LA Metro A Line has a stop in Pasadena and there is local public transportation provided by Pasadena Transit.

Close to Old Pasadena shops
Outside of the Rose Bowl area, East Arroyo is primarily residential, with shopping and dining done in nearby business districts. “Old Pasadena is so close you can walk to it, or it’s a very short drive,” Road says. The 22 blocks of the neighborhood are designated a National Register Historic District because of the impeccably returned late 19th and early 20th-century architecture. Known fondly as “Old Pas,” this historically significant district has a robust stretch of diverse retailers, local independent restaurants and open-air shopping plazas. To the west of the Long Beach Freeway is a Ralphs for stocking up on groceries and essentials.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
