Pasadena

The City of Pasadena is world renowned for the annual Tournament of Roses Parade and Rose Bowl Game. Yet, the city is also home to the California Institute of Technology and Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Located just 15 minutes from downtown Los Angeles, at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, the city's popular shops and restaurants blend comfortably with tree-lined streets, distinctive neighborhoods, historic buildings and a vibrant cultural scene.

The City of Pasadena has six Metro Gold Line stations. Traveling north, the Fillmore Station sits in the heart of Pasadena's up and coming biotechnology corridor and is two blocks from Huntington Memorial Hospital. The line continues to Del Mar Station and Memorial Park Station. Both stations are two blocks from Old Pasadena Shopping, theater and some of the finest cuisine in Southern California as well as the of the annual Tournament of Roses Parade route. Memorial Park Station is walking distance to the City's landmark City Hall. The final three stations are located in the median of the 210-Freeway, giving commuters an alternative to congested freeways.
