Glen Loma Ranch is a naturally beautiful place. Across the property, dense
stands of oak woodlands are interwoven with small stands of coastal scrub, olive
trees and fruit trees, as well as sycamores, black walnut, Madrone, Monterey
Pine, Arizona cypress, and redwood trees. Oak riparian areas follow the natural
drainage courses as they flow through Uvas Creek. All of these natural features
(approximately 150 acres, or about 40% of the total property) have been preserved
as permanent open space for Glen Loma Ranch residents and the community at
large.
When completed, Glen Loma Ranch will feature pedestrian and bicycle-friendly
trails, two community parks, and numerous neighborhood gathering places. The
property also connects to the existing Uvas Creek Trail and neighboring Christmas
Hill Park.
The extensive network of inter-connected trails allows easy access from one end
of Glen Loma Ranch to the other, creating a pedestrian-friendly environment and
reduced automobile traffic. The trails also build essential connections between
the neighborhoods, local schools, parks, and the natural open spaces that make
this such a special place to live.
