Trail Safety Patrol

The Trail Safety Patrol was launched in February 2013 with sixteen community volunteers operating in Hike and Mountain Bike units.  The purpose of the TSP is to assist Community Services & Parks staff and other City professionals in protecting and maintaining the safety of park and open space visitors and resources; to educate park and open space visitors about resources, programs, and regulations; and to observe and report damage, unsafe conditions, and police, fire or medical emergencies.  The program is a collaboration with the Glendale Police and Fire Departments.

Trail Maintenance Crew

Our Trail Maintenance Crew is a hearty band of local residents, several of whom have been building trails in Deukmejian Park for years.  After the Station Fire and the rains that followed, the trails in Deukmejian were virtually destroyed and many sections were in dangerous condition.  This group has diligently restored all of the Rim of the Valley and Crescenta View Trails, realigning dangerous trail areas, widening the trails in some spots, and making them safe and enjoyable for all users.  The  “Vineyard Trail” leads hikers across Dunsmore Creek and up the east side of the canyon to the area where the Le Mesnager family had their vineyards during the early 20th century.
