Claremont Cahuilla Park - Turf Reduction Project

Press release from the City of Claremont:

March 30, 2021

In an effort to further the City’s sustainability efforts, staff is always looking for ways to conserve water and lower costs. To aid in those efforts, the Metropolitan Water District offers funding for turf removal. The City applied for and was granted funding for water-conservation landscaping projects, one of which is currently underway at Cahuilla Park. The area that will be converted is at the west side of the park between Scripps Drive, Oxford Avenue, and Claremont High School.

Community Services staff and Excel Landscape have worked together to create a design incorporating elements to reduce water usage, including drought-resistant plants, a drip irrigation system, and a storm water retention feature. Approximately 48,000 sq. ft. of turf will be converted under this project.
