has traditional conservation organizations, wildlife preservation groups, products made from natural and organically grown crops, organic gardening information, alternative energy vehicles, ecotourism opportunities, many alternative and traditional health care products and services, pet adoption services, clean air and clean water products, rainforest preservation groups … the list goes on and on.
If you arrive after about 10:30 am, there is often no parking immediately adjacent to the Park. If you drive and plan to arrive after 11 am, don’t drive directly to the Park. A free shuttle service will take you between the Fair and an off-site parking location at City College. From the 163 freeway exit follow the signs. From Park Blvd., you will turn on Russ. Go to the end and turn right. You can park in the lots opposite Garfield Jr. High School; the shuttle stop is marked with a sign. The shuttle runs from 10:30 am to 6 pm.
