CSUN's Orange Grove - Transformed Into Welcoming Retreat

Site features Botanical Pond, Turtles, Exotic Fish and Flowers


The southeast corner of Cal State Northridge's campus is home to the Orange Grove and Botanical Pond.

The five acre site was recently transformed into a welcoming retreat that features a beautiful walkway, a 270-foot meandering stream, a natural spring well, dozens of red-eared slider turtles, koi and goldfish add a variety of colorful flowers including water lilies and water hiacynths.

The grove's more than 400 orange trees serve as one of the last remnants of the San Fernando Valley's agricultural past.

The site is modeled after a California seasonal wetland. It is enjoyed by students, faculty and staff and is open to the public.

Its pathways are wheelchair accessible, made out of "environmentally sensitive" decomposed granite, and well lit for nighttime visits.
