Rosemead Rain Garden Project
Summary
The city plans to turn the bare, eroded landscape next to the Community Recreation Center into a rain garden with native plants, trees, and swales that capture stormwater instead of letting it run into the street. Over 100,000 gallons a year could be captured, recharging groundwater and filtering pollutants naturally.

Impact analysis
Design is already grant-funded; installation will need another grant or city money, so eventual costs to residents aren't yet known.
Residents get a greener, healthier community space, cleaner groundwater, and free workshops on conserving water at home.
