CSUN Orange Grove and Pond is a unique feature of the CSUN campus landscape and urban forest, encompassing approximately five acres and over 400 Valencia orange trees. The grove serves various purposes, including research on bee populations and pond turtles, housing stellar and solar observatories, providing oranges to local community groups, and offering a scenic and tranquil space for visitors to socialize and study.
The Orange Grove has a rich history, dating back to the early 1940s. While its existence prior to the university is unclear, it has remained an important part of the campus. Over the years, the grove has undergone significant improvements, including the addition of walkways, a pond, and an observatory, making it a cherished public space for the CSUN community to enjoy.
