THANK YOU. >> WITH THAT WEATHER WARMING UP AND RAIN LETTING UP, TONIGHT’S LOOK AT THIS IS OVER A PASADENA PARK THAT IS PERFECT FOR HIKERS, DOGS AND HORSES. PAT: THE PARK IS NEXT TO A PLACE FOR SCARY STORIES, DESMOND SHAW HAS MORE FROM SKYCAL. REPORTER: TAKE A LOOK AT

THIS AREA NEAR JET PRO PROPULSION LABORATORY, THE DEVIL’S GATE DAM IT WAS FIRST DAM BUILT BY L.A. COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT WHEN IT OPENED IN 1920. WE HAD THIS DAM OVER UPPER A ARROYO SECO TO PREVENT FLOODING. ATHIS IS ONE OF MOST IMPORTANT GROUND WATER RECHANGE AREAS IN L.A.

COUNTY, THE DAM GETS NAME FROM THIS ROCK FORMATION DOWN IN HERE. THEY RELEASE WATER, SAID TO LOOK LIKE THE FACE OF THE DEVIL. I WILL LEAVE THAT FOR YOU TO JUDGE AND YOU LOOK UP CRAZY STORIES OF GHOSTS AND PARANORMAL ACTIVITY AROUND THE DEV DEVIL’S GATE DAM. THIS WAS ALSO THE PRIMARY

ROAD BETWEEN PASADENA AND LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE BEFORE THE 210 OR OAKGROVE DRIVE. CARS DROVE ON THE TOP OF THE DAM. THERE WAS A VERY IMPORTANT SEDIMENT REMOVAL PROJECT COMPLETED BEHIND THE DAM, 1. 3 CUBIC YARDS OF SEDIMENT WERE REMOVED. AND WATER RESTORED. BACK HERE, WATER SHED PARK. A FLOOD PLAIN.

LEFT IN THE NATURAL STATE. THERE IS FANTASTIC HIKING. 1300 ACRE PARK WILL LEAD YOU TO SAN GABRIEL MOUNTAINS, THE HORSE-FRIENDLY AND DOG-FRIENDLY THERE IS A 24 HOLE DISK GOLF COURSE HERE. A LOT OF AREAS TO PICNIC AS WELL. WHETHER YOU ARE INTO THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY OR HIKING OPPORTUNITY, PUT IT

ON YOUR LIST OF PLACES NOW THAT WE’RE ENJOYING WARMER WEATHER. THANKS TO STEVEN FOR TELLING ME TO CHECK IT OUT. I AM DESMOND SHAW LOOKING AT THIS FROM SKYCAL. JUAN: IF YOU WOULD LIKE DAW TO LOCK AT SOMETHING INTERESTING IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WRITE US
