Sheffield Reservoir Open Space

What used to be an open-air potable water reservoir is now a walker's delight, hosting several trails among native landscaping, boulders, and views of the foothills. The 2003 Sheffield Reservoir Water Quality Project undergrounded the original reservoir and constructed a 20-acre passive open space above that returns the site to its oak woodland and native grasses landscape, incorporating bioswales and walking trails.

Dogs must be on leash at all times within Sheffield Reservoir Open Space.
