Take a Tour

Signage installed at Griggs, O'Shaughnessy & Hoover Reservoirs invites park visitors to take a self-guided tour along the shoreline & learn about the green infrastructure installed there.

Rain gardens, pourous pavement & more can improve the quality of storm water entering the reservoirs that supply our drinking water.

Keep It Clean

The We All Live Downstream program offers simple steps you can take at home to prevent water pollution.
