Preserving open space
Rolling hills, miles of walking trails, shimmering lagoons – these beautiful open spaces give residents a break from their daily routines and attract visitors year round. The City of Carlsbad has made a strong commitment to preserving open space to ensure an excellent quality of life for our residents. In 1986, residents voted to ensure 40 percent of the city is set aside as permanent open space, and the city is on track to meet this goal.
