Development and Operation of Public Land in the Hahamongna Watershed Park

The City of Pasadena is soliciting proposals for a development and operations agreement and a long-term lease for an approximately 3.5-acre developed area and a 2.5-acre Oak Woodland area within a 30-acre City-owned parcel of land. The site is located in the Hahamongna Watershed Park and is zoned Open-Space (OS). The City is looking for a non-profit organization or group of organizations to develop and operate the site, with a focus on stewardship, education, and passive recreation. The project should align with the guiding principles and vision of the Master Plan for the HWP, which includes promoting the enjoyment of the Arroyo Seco, balancing water resources and recreation, and conserving the site's unique oak habitat. Some key facilities that will be included in the project are an equestrian facility, a multipurpose interpretive and education center, and a native plant nursery. The City will not contribute funding to the development or long-term operation of the project, and the successful proposer will be required to provide a quantifiable public benefit that serves Pasadena residents, particularly youth. • The site is approximately 6 acres in total, with 3.5 acres of developed area and 2.5 acres of Oak Woodland area. • The site is located in the Hahamongna Watershed Park, which is a unique and centralized part of the Arroyo Seco watershed. • The project should include an equestrian facility, a multipurpose interpretive and education center, and a native plant nursery. • The City is looking for a non-profit organization or group of organizations to develop and operate the site. • The project should align with the guiding principles and vision of the Master Plan for the HWP. • The City will not contribute funding to the development or long-term operation of the project.
